Scientists have developed a biomaterial which mimics skin, right down to blood under the surface, to make studies on mosquito feeding easier to run.

Big data technology is obviously heavily dependent on computer hardware. However, the relationship goes both ways. Computer users can take advantage of data-driven tools to improve the performance of their devices. Macs can be great tools for data science. However, that is only the case if they are properly maintained and optimized for speed. Mac users, in particular, may want to find creative ways to use big data to make sure their devices work more efficiently.

Archeologists say this disproves the idea that eating marine foods gave early modern humans’ brains the competitive advantage.
