- Scientists unveil starfish-inspired wearable tech for heart monitoringon 2 Aprile 2025 at 18:23
When we move, it’s harder for existing wearable devices to accurately track our heart activity. But researchers found that a starfish’s five-arm shape helps solve this problem. Inspired by how a starfish flips itself over — shrinking one of its arms and using the others in a coordinated motion to right itself — scientists have created a starfish-shaped wearable device that tracks heart health in real time.

- Seeing humanity’s transition from hunting to farming as a cultural shifton 2 Aprile 2025 at 16:28
Using a mathematical model, researchers have shed new light on the transition from hunter-gatherer to farming societies. Rather than focusing exclusively on external factors, they looked at internal demographics and the significant impact of human interactions. The model identified potential societal outcomes based on demographic changes, emphasizing aspects such as migration rates, cultural assimilation and the role of mortality in these transitions. The researchers aim to further develop their model with the aim of making it a standard tool for studying historical demographic interactions.
