A Small Breakthrough in the Mystery of Touch

By Belinda Luscombe
The sense of touch is more of a mystery than that of hearing, smell, sight or taste. Perhaps that’s why more songs have been written about it (“Smell Me in the Morning” just doesn’t have the same ring.)
 But now scientists have unlocked one secret about how it works using only a fruit fly and an eyelash.

The Chemical Symphony of Attraction


Attraction results from the unique information gathered by all our senses.

Did you ever wonder what attracts you to one sort of person over another? What causes that feeling of alluring familiarity with someone you have just met...someone to whom you are inexorably drawn? Why can someone have everything you think you want, yet leave you feeling flat? 

Follow Your Nose to Your Soul Mate


Each of our senses plays a part in forming our attraction to our mates, but scent might be the strongest.

Can you sniff out a good mate?

Studies have shown that women are highly attuned to smell — and for good reason. A study at the University of Bern in Switzerland found that women preferred the natural scent of a man (oh fine, his body odor!) who happened to be her best mating option — evolutionarily speaking.

What is Ozone?

Discovered by Christian Friedrich Schonbein in 1840, Ozone is triatomic oxygen with the chemical formula O3.  It derives its name from the Greek word ozein or ogeiv, “to smell or smell.” 
Ozone gas is light blue at room temperature and has a characteristic pungent odor.  Physical 
property data is provided in the table below:

Ozone Molecule for Water Treatment

Molecular Weight
48 g/mole
Density Relative to Air
1.66
Specific Weight at 0 degree C & 760 mm Hg
2.143 kg/m3
Heat of Formation
34.5 kcal/mole
Boiling Point
-112 degrees C (dark blue liquid)
Melting Point
-193 degrees C (dark red or blue solid)

At standard temperature and pressure ozone is a blue gas. Ozone forms a dark blue liquid below -112 °C and a dark blue solid below -193 °C. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent, and is unstable, decaying to ordinary oxygen through the reaction:  2O3 → 3O2.
