Researchers at Binghamton University, USA, have found that when people submerge their hands in water, it causes their fingers to wrinkle in the same manner each time. According to researchers, the blood vessels located under the skin begin to contract when the skin is exposed to water for an extended period. This causes a wrinkled pattern on the skin, which stays consistent every time a person’s hand is immersed in water. Researchers believe our blood vessels do not shift much, causing the same pattern to develop. This discovery could be useful in forensics and other fields.

Scientists at Rice University, USA, have found bacteria that produce electricity through a unique process. These organisms employ extracellular respiration, a process in which they push electrons out of their cells with the help of natural molecules known as naphthoquinones. The mechanism operates similarly to how batteries release energy. It allows the bacteria to survive without requiring oxygen. This discovery gives scientists insights into how some bacteria live in oxygen-deficient conditions. It could be used to drive innovations in space research and medicine.

Abu Dhabi plans to introduce Aion Sentia, the first artificial intelligence (AI) cognitive city in the world, by 2027. This city will be designed to evolve according to the habits and needs of its residents. It will employ AI to provide residents with facilities that improve energy efficiency, public transport and healthcare. Residents of the city will have easy access to services through an AI-powered mobile application called MAIA. MAIA will be capable of providing users with suggestions, such as dining options and energy-saving tips, based on their preferences. This will enrich the residents’ quality of life.

Researchers at the Cambridge University Library, England, discovered a manuscript with stories about King Arthur and Merlin, which had been used as a book cover. This manuscript was part of the binding of a book from the 1500s that contained property records and had been overlooked for centuries. The manuscript comprises episodes from the story of King Arthur called ‘Suite Vulgate du Merlin’. To view the story without destroying the book and the delicate cover, scientists used numerous techniques including carrying out computed tomography (CT) scans. This helped them create a digital version of the cover, which they were able to read.
DID YOU KNOW?
Though the stories of King Arthur are an important part of British literature, historians aren’t sure if the character was inspired by a real person.

A designer named Juyong Shim made use of waste and unused speaker parts to create furniture and other objects. The designer’s ‘Horn Series’, which included a table, shelves, a stool and a trolley, was part of Milan Design Week 2025. The series also includes a product that serves as both a lamp and a table. Shim integrated other elements with parts of speakers to create these objects. Through his creations, he demonstrates how waste objects can be redesigned for practical uses.

A huge power outage affected parts of Europe including Portugal, Belgium, Spain and some areas of France on April 28. The outage impacted communication services, transportation services, hospitals and other systems, bringing the lives of millions of people to a halt. While the exact cause of the outage is unknown, experts link it to an interconnector fault. Temperature changes due to an unusual atmospheric event are another possible reason being considered for the outage. Officials took prompt action to bring back electricity, however, achieving full recovery required about a week.
