"American neuroscientists David Julius and Ardem Pataputyan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2021. The prize recognizes the discovery of temperature and touch receptors, thanks to which we also feel the burning taste of spicy food or the softness of a feather bed" I don't understand why this is useful ? Can you explain?

In my opinion, this can be useful both in basic sciences, for studying the processes of perception of various stimuli, and practical for the treatment of possible freezing of these receptors with loss of sensitivity.

They discovered how temperature or, for example, touch turns into human sensations. They also allowed us to understand how temperature or mechanical force initiates nerve impulses that allow us to perceive the world and adapt. This technology can potentially be used in various fields - from medicine to virtual reality and robotics.

By the way, it would be interesting to read how temperature and touch are received at the molecular level, does anyone have articles about this?
