Science

using invisible ultra sounds in a public space to make everyone smell my farts like an olfactory terrorist

the device directly targets the olfactory bulb in your brain with "focused ultrasound through the skull"

Fascinating! I never would have expected this outcome.

Will we finally get Smell-O-Vision?

The only real question is can we mod Skyrim to smell like cedar

Never underestimate the value of a college education

So they're gonna be shooting ultrasound at me in the cinema so I can smell what The Rock is cooking?

This is really interesting, apparently it's therapeutic for sinus symptoms, too!

Interesting use. I wonder how safe it is long term, but assume the ultrasonic energy is probably kept low enough that it (presumably) won't lyse cells. I still wonder how it will affect proteins structures, etc or if it will lead to leaking through membranes of cellular structures.

It reminds me of histotripsy, which was approved for cancer therapy a few years ago. Cool ideas and it seems like the uses of ultrasonication are finally making their way outside of laboratories.

The news really stinks lately.
