HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Gerard McCaul et al. from the Department of Physics, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA have published the paper: Diffusion fails to make a stink, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The authors explore the consequences of using the mathematics of diffusion to describe the dynamics of odorants.
SUMMARY
In previous work, the process of olfaction inside the nasal cavity has been modeled with diffusion but the question of whether purely diffusive processes can lead to spatial distributions of the scent concentration, which enable odor tracking, has not been considered. Conversely . . .
