Researchers found that inflammation lingered in mice that had been fed a high-fat diet after the rodents shed the ounces. The findings hint at a potential link between obesity and inflammation, as well as evidence that these issues may remain regardless of whether or not one loses weight.

Reply to Researchers have developed a new artificial skin that may be more touch-sensitive than human hands. by patient-Spring-4
"Essentially, the skin consists of two thin, flexible fabric electrodes sandwiched around a layer of spongy material soaked in ion-sensitive liquid. This stack of materials acts as a capacitor — meaning it can pick up on changes in pressure or differences in charge between electrodes with extreme sensitivity.
In fact, the faux skin is so sensitive that it can tell when it’s near an object without actually touching it — its porous ion layer has the shark-like ability to catch the subtle disruptions to its electric field caused by nearby objects."
