Scientists develop super-water-repelling material inspired by spiky porcupinefish skin
The future of water-repellent materials might soon have a lot to do with the porcupinefish, according to new research. Also known as blowfish, porcupinefish are medium- to large-sized tropical fish that belong to the Diodontidae family. Found in shallow temperate and tropical seas throughout the world, porcupinefish are known for their ability to inflate their […]

Elongated skulls unearthed in ancient Chinese tombs may indicate social status, researchers say… is there another explanation?
Human skeletons unearthed in northeast China represent some of the earliest evidence of intentional skull reshaping, says a recent study in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. Between 2011 and 2015, the dig at the Houtaomuga site yielded 11 modified skulls and 14 skeletons with unmodified craniums. The former, in particular, had artificially elongated braincases and flattened bones […]
