A five-minute treatment with radio waves can bring back the ability to smell roses or savor a morning cup of coffee—at least temporarily—according to new research from South Korea that marks the first time scientists have improved human smell using electromagnetic waves.

“Our research introduces the concept of electroceuticals—using bioelectronic stimulation as therapy—as a new and promising approach in this field,” Yongwoo Jang, study author and professor with the Department of Pharmacology at Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, told The Epoch Times.
