The world’s first wearable device for measuring skin health including monitoring wounds, has been developed by researchers.
It analyses gases emitted and absorbed by the body’s largest organ.
The compact device is said to be able to also detect infections, track hydration levels, quantifying exposure to harmful environmental chemicals and more.
The new technology comprises a collection of sensors that precisely measure changes in temperature, water vapour, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds , which each give valuable insight into various skin conditions and overall health.
These gases flow into a small chamber within the device that hovers above the skin without actually touching it.
This no-contact design is particularly useful for gathering information about fragile skin without disturbing delicate tissues.
It could be especially useful in dealing with diabetic patients according to the team from the USA’s Northwestern University in Illinois.

Study reveals gender differences in lip size attractiveness

Lips 1

Picture MUST credit: University of Sydney
A new study has shed light on the way lip size influences perceptions of facial attractiveness.
And although women may think plumper ones are a magnet for the opposite sex, men actually prefer thinner ones.
The highest ratings were for men with thinner lips and women with plumper lips.
The study used digitally manipulated images to alter lip size on both male- and female faces and asked participants to rate their attractiveness.
Women showed a stronger preference for plumper lips when viewing images of female faces, while men preferred female faces with unaltered lips.
This suggests that attractiveness judgments are shaped by the observer's own gender.
For the experiment 16 female and 16 male volunteers were shown 168 faces, representing seven lip sizes with lips thinner or plumper than the norm.
They were then given 1.25 seconds to register how relatively attractive they found each image.
The general results showed participants thought slightly plumper lips were more attractive on the female face and slightly thinner lips more attractive on a male face.
But by gender, men preferred a female face with a natural lip size image, with women preferring plumper lips.
Interestingly, the study found that showing the lips alone, without the whole face, also produced shifts in attractiveness ratings, suggesting that lip size is encoded by the brain as a distinct feature, separate from the overall facial structure.
The Australian study was carried out by a team from the University of Sydney .
OPS:Morphed images used in the experiment. Subjects were shown a series of images and given 1.25 seconds to respond and rate according to subjective assessment of attractiveness.

Why orderly crowds can become disorderly
Ferrari Press Agency
Crowds 1
Ref 16659
24/03/2025
See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: MIT
The logic behind how people walk in crowds has been discovered by mathematicians.
Called “angular spread,” it describes the number of people walking in different directions — and they reckon it is 13 degrees.
If a crowd has a relatively small angular spread, this means that most pedestrians walk in opposite directions and meet the oncoming traffic head-on, such as in a crosswalk.
In this case, more orderly, lane-like traffic is likely.
If a crowd has a larger angular spread, such as on a shopping centre concourse, there are many more directions pedestrians can take resulting in a greater chance for disorder.
In fact, the researchers calculated the point at which a moving crowd can transition from order to disorder.
That point, they found, was an angular spread of around 13 degrees.
That means if pedestrians don’t walk straight across, but instead veer off at an angle larger than 13 degrees, a crowd can be tipped into disorder.
The team plans to test their predictions on real-world crowds and pedestrian thoroughfares.
OPS: An experiment carried out in a gymnasium , film from overhead, with volunteers. The orderly passing of two groups of people (left) contrasts with the diisorderly when the angular spread of people exceeded 13 degrees.

Paralysed man uses brain chip to control robot arm

See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: UCSF/Ganguly Lab
Researchers at UC San Francisco have enabled a man who is paralysed to control a robotic arm through a device that relays signals from his brain to a computer.
He was able to grasp, move and drop objects just by imagining himself performing the actions.
The device, known as a brain-computer interface, worked for a record seven months without needing to be adjusted.
Until now, such devices have only worked for a day or two.
The brain implant relies on artificial intelligence that can adjust to the small changes that take place in the brain as a person repeats a movement and learns to do it in a more refined way.
Researchers at the University of California San Francisco said the key was the discovery of how activity shifts in the brain day to day as a study participant repeatedly imagined making specific movements.
Once the AI was programmed to account for those shifts, it worked for months at a time.

How mosquitos hear may inspire new ways to detect natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
Despite being one of nature’s most disliked insects, the malaria carrying bug could provide a breakthrough in disaster response.
Mosquitos don’t have traditional ears but instead rely on their antennae to navigate homing in on crucial sounds over the background noise of their own wingbeats.
Now researchers at the USA’s Purdue University in Indiana, are recreating mosquito antennae to better study their sensitivity to vibrations.
It could lead to improvements in monitoring and detecting natural disasters and even help in soundproofing buildings,
Professors Pablo Zavattieri and Ximena Bernal conducted the work, which is published in the journal Acta Biomaterialia.
Prof Zavattieri said: “Imagine urban environments equipped with bio-inspired sensors, akin to ‘big ears,’ capable of discerning specific sounds amid the hustle and bustle of city life.
“In times of crisis — such as earthquakes or other disasters — these sensors become invaluable, swiftly detecting faint signals of distress and guiding rescue efforts to those in need.
“We’re in the early stages but we’re pretty optimistic that we’ll at least learn a great deal."

Le Land Rover du roi Charles III d'Angleterre à vendre
Picture MUST credit: Iconic Auctioneers A Land Rover owned by Britain’s Kling Charles before he came to the throne is up for sale. It was bought for the sole use of Charles, then the Prince of Wales, and wife Camilla Parker Bowles.

Although the 4X4 Defender rarely has any form of creature comforts this one warmed royal backsides thanks to the luxury of heated seats. It is also equipped with heated front and rear screens. A confirmation letter addressed to Charles’s head chauffeur Tim Williams is included with the car’s documents bundle. The car, in Keswick green paint, with a charcoal grey interior shows only minor wear to the driver’s seat, said to indicate it was bot chauffeur-driven, Since being sold by Charles it has been part of a privately owned royal collection.

(EyesOnSci)CHINA-JURASSIC FOSSIL DISCOVERY-ORIGIN OF BIRDS (CN)
(250213) -- BEIJING, Feb. 13, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This combo photo shows an image of the fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis (above) and a skeleton diagram. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought.
The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known.
The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature. (Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology/Handout via Xinhua)
