University of Glasgow Research reveals that attractiveness is not universally perceived and it is in fact our culture and individual preferences that shape what we think is attractive. A new study, led by researchers at the University of Glasgow’s Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology, modelled individual preferences for attractive faces in two cultures, Western European and East Asian. The researchers found, contrary to current assumptions that there is a perceived universal facial beauty, that different cultures and individual preferences defined what is considered to be attrac...

Share This The FINANCIAL -- Facial beauty and attractiveness are not universally perceived. Instead, according to new research, it is culture and individual preferences that shape the diverse spectrum of what we think is facially attractive. A new study, led by researchers at the University of Glasgow’s Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology and published in Current Biology, modelled individual preferences for attractive faces in two cultures, Western European and East Asian. The researchers found – contrary to current assumptions that there is a perceived universal facial beauty –...

 E-Mail People's teeth-chattering experiences in the dentist's chair could be improved by fresh insights into how tiny, powerful bubbles are formed by ultra-fast vibrations, a study suggests. The physics of how so-called nanobubbles are generated could have a range of clinical and industrial applications, including in dental hygiene devices used to remove plaque, experts say. The findings could also inform the development of other technologies - such as devices to selectively target tumour cells - that harness the energy released when the bubbles burst. Engineers at the University of Edinbu...
