How do odor chemicals trigger the sensation of smell in the brain of humans and animals? Computer simulations and hands-on displays allow visitors to Marvelous Molecules—The Secret of Life at the New York Hall of Science to peek inside the molecular structure of living things to see how chemicals affect the brain and how DNA passes on genetic traits. Marvelous Molecules is one of the first ever interactive exhibits to explore such questions about human chemistry.
