Science finds interface between skin and technology

Sep 28, 2024 | womenlovetech.com | Michael Sheather |Robyn Foyster |Pamela Connellan |Mary Grace

Science can now print sensor technology directly onto human skin, making high tech applications more comfortable, flexible, and perhaps, one day, even fashionable.

Mustatils are massive, ancient stone platforms sitting in the Arabian desert. Archaeologists are investigating who made them and why. Very few of you will have heard of a mustatil. It sounds a little like a variety of grape. Yet it is, in fact, the Arabic word for rectangle. However, this middle eastern word now has another meaning that may turn out to be of world importance.
The Shortest Rrecorded Event Is Precisely 247 Zeptoseconds

Sep 14, 2024 | womenlovetech.com | Michael Sheather |Robyn Foyster |Pamela Connellan |Mary Grace

Scientists have managed for the first time to record an event that lasts just 247 zeptoseconds, the shortest observed duration of any event in human history. We didn’t even know what zeptoseconds were. It’s often said that life is short, and time is fast. Both those things are true in a relative sense. But when you talk about the time it takes for a single particle of light to pass through a hydrogen molecule – well, simply put, there’s never been anything faster or shorter.

Sep 12, 2024 | womenlovetech.com | Michael Sheather |Robyn Foyster |Pamela Connellan |Mary Grace

Australian scientists have discovered and documented some of the world’s most stunning and important indigenous rock art in the most remote areas of northern Australia. They are known to the archaeological world as the Maliwawa images, a collection of prehistoric rock art paintings made by Australia’s ancient inhabitants, and they open a rare window on what life was like in one of the harshest and most demanding places on earth more than 7000 years ago.

Sep 7, 2024 | womenlovetech.com | Michael Sheather |Robyn Foyster |Pamela Connellan |Mary Grace

It’s long been known that bees are the essential workers of the natural world, but a new study has revealed for the first time that some species of bees even work the night shift. Pollinating plants is not just an essential service for the world’s bees, it’s also a full-time job. And as hard working and dedicated as our bee populations are, up until now scientists believed that they did their creative, life-generating work during the daytime.
Gender Through Rose-coloured Glasses

Sep 6, 2024 | womenlovetech.com | Michael Sheather |Robyn Foyster |Pamela Connellan |Mary Grace

This bird discovered in the woodlands of Pennsylvania is an example of a bird with two genders, a creature so rare that it is like “seeing a unicorn”. This is a rose-breasted grosbeak, a North American songbird that is commonly found in the woodland forests of Pennsylvania. While there are potentially hundreds of thousands of rose-breasted grosbeaks living in the wild, this particular bird is a one-in-a million. And that is because it is both male and female.
