The human nose is far more powerful than once thought, capable of detecting up to 1 trillion different scents.

By testing volunteers with mixtures of odor molecules, researchers found that people can distinguish incredibly complex combinations of smells.
This discovery challenges the myth that humans have a weak sense of smell compared to other animals.
