Japanese Scientists Develop Odor Replicator

People stopping to smell the roses can now take that sweet floral fragrance home with them, or even send it to a faraway grandmother, thanks to a new gadget in Japan that records and replicates the world’s odors.

The new device, developed by scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, analyzes smells through 15 sensors, records the odor’s recipe in digital format and then reproduces the scent by mixing 96 chemicals and vaporizing the result.
