Meet Edinburgh’s Medieval residents! Scientists reconstruct the faces of two people living in the Scottish capital 700 years ago based on an analysis of their skulls ‘Forensic artists’ used handheld 3D scanners to build up digital versions of skulls These formed the basis for lifelike images of the two former Edinburgh residents Both died aged … Read more

People who’ve recently had a cold may have some protection against Covid, scientists claim Lab studies by University of Glasgow found cold antibodies work against Covid But they only last a short while so window of protection is likely to be small A study last November suggested 5% of public had these antibodies at any … Read more
Species of turtle, shark, penguin, seal and whale swim in circles, new research shows – but scientists aren’t sure why. Japanese researchers examined high-resolution 3D movements of the various marine animals, gathered from biologging technology. Biologging uses using small instruments mounted on an animal to track their movements over long periods of time. They revealed … Read more
Scientists create a model of an early human embryo from SKIN CELLS in breakthrough that will ‘revolutionise’ research into the causes of early miscarriage and infertility Skin cells underwent ‘nuclear reprogramming’ and turned into embryo-like cells These were then assembled around a 3D structure to form blastocyst models This is the first time blastocyst models have … Read more
