Ancient Europeans Retained Dark Skin, Hair and Eyes Until the Iron Age, Claims New Study
A genetic study analysing 348 ancient DNA samples reveals that most prehistoric Europeans had dark skin, hair, and eyes well into the Iron Age. Although genes for lighter pigmentation appeared around 14,000 years ago, they remained rare until about 3,000 years ago. Lighter skin may have been advantageous for vitamin D production, while lighter eyes...

17,000-Year-Old DNA of Ice Age Infant Reveals Dark Skin, Blue Eyes
Analysis of a 17,000-year-old infant’s remains from southern Italy sheds light on Ice Age ancestry and health. The infant, found in a Puglian cave, was likely around a year old at death and had distinctive traits—brown skin, blue eyes, and curly dark hair. His genome links him to Europe’s Villabruna lineage, suggesting their presence in south...

New Patch Device Uses Electricity To Combat Harmful Skin Bacteria
Scientists have created a bioelectronic patch, BLAST, that uses mild electrical pulses to eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin. Tested on pig skin, this device has shown significant reductions in bacterial levels, suggesting it could be used to prevent infections from medical devices. The patch creates an acidic environment that inhibits biofilm ...

Primitive Humans in Scandinavia Used Boats Made Up of Animal Skins in 3500 BC, Study Suggests
A new study suggests that people from the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) in ancient Scandinavia likely built boats from animal skins, possibly seal hides, to fish, hunt, and trade. The PWC was a Neolithic group of hunter-gatherers who lived between 3500 and 2300 B.C. in regions near the Baltic and North Seas.

Engineers Develop Stamp-Sized Sticker That Can Provide Ultrasound Imaging for 48 Hours
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have aimed to solve the issue of limited access to bulky ultrasound machines. They developed a small sticker that sticks to the skin and provides ultrasound imaging continuously for 48 hours. Currently, this is done using sophisticated and heavy equipment that requires specialised technic...
