Fine particulate air pollution may play a role in adverse birth outcomes

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 Massachusetts Amherst 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 conductivity of the human body to send data signals, offering a new way to connect wearable devices without the need for traditional wireless signals like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The study highlights that this method could significantly reduce energy consumption, enhance security by limiting signal leakage, and provide a more reliable connection in environments where conventional wireless signals might be disrupted. The implications of this technology could revolutionize wearable technology, health monitoring, and even personal area networks, making them more efficient and secure.
