Urinals are notoriously unhygienic, but science is tackling the problem of splashback and odor head-on. Researchers are using fluid dynamics and “anatomically accurate nozzles” to engineer splash-proof bowls, while chemists are developing systems to neutralize foul-smelling ammonia before it forms. From simple fly-shaped targets to high-tech sensors, discover the surprisingly complex science behind building a better, cleaner urinal.
