It’s a massive and complex undertaking, and at first glance it might seem downright eccentric. Two American researchers are working on a project aimed at creating a bionic nose. The objective is to help people suffering from anosmia regain their sense of smell.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the condition of anosmia, ie, the loss of sense of smell, was relatively unknown to the general public. The condition is now at the heart of extensive research programmes aimed at alleviating this handicap.
