Aiming to make the process more efficient and convenient, a team of researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed electronic “stickers” that help to measure this phenomenon.

With the opioid epidemic getting worse, it’s time for employers to recognize that the problem is far from distant—it’s impacting everyone, including their workforce. Costly treatment and disengaged employees are only a few of the ways opioid addictions may be impacting a company’s bottom line and culture.

Scientists have just caught up with something that Scandinavians have suspected strongly for over a century: Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) may be a basic taste, joining sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.

Denizens of Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands gobble up the compound in “salmiak,” a salt licorice candy. But don’t be fooled by the “candy” label. As Andrew Richdale wrote for Saveur back in 2017, salmiak tastes nothing like any other candy you have ever tried.

“The first time I sampled salmiak… I spit it out on a Copenhagen street corner. It wasn’t that this powerful little pastille was bad.

It felt simultaneously fascinating and… abusive? Or at least odd, like a knocked funny bone.”
