  • A team of researchers led by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, or KAUST, Saudi Arabia, are this year's winner of the Association for Computing Machinery's Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling.

The article from EurekAlert! discusses a study published in the journal *Nature Communications* which explores the potential of using the human body as a medium for transmitting data. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Washington have developed a method called "BodyNet," where the human body acts as a conduit for high-speed data transmission. This innovative approach leverages the electrical properties of the human body to transmit data at speeds up to 10 Mbps, which is significantly faster than current wearable technologies. The technology could revolutionize wearable devices, health monitoring systems, and even personal area networks by allowing devices to communicate through the body rather than through the air, potentially reducing interference and increasing security. The study highlights the body's ability to conduct signals with low power consumption, suggesting future applications in medical diagnostics, fitness tracking, and secure communication systems.
