Metals rust, organics degrade, fabrics unravel—and often rot, too, which means that it’s nearly impossible for clothing to last hundreds to thousands of years. But there are always exceptions. Danish archaeologists with Arkæologi Vestjylland (Archaeology West Jutland) recently discovered the…

Not sure why; get past the age of 30 and tell me your body is well designed. Plus, the way the clankers move gives most folks the uncanny valley creeps. Hugging Face has opted…
