I was going to read the article to make a joke about how cat's noses function better than high tech equipment as well as being far more boopable, the the article was awesome.

It's exciting to think of how this can help lead to more compact designs for instruments. They went into the differences between mammalian and reptilian olfactory senses but didn't mention humans. I'd assume ours is similar but not as good as cats? Is the mechanism the same but evolutionarily we moved towards more cranial capacity than olfactory ability?

Great find, great post.

I almost didn't read it as I thought it was a joke.

A case of reverse click bait headline?
