GEORGE Clooney (pictured) has officially been confirmed as the world’s most handsome man and science can prove it.

In an excellent example of a productive use of mathematics, a British plastic surgeon has collated the so-called ‘Golden Ratio’ with the dimensions of several global celebrities.

The Golden Ratio is exactly 1.618 - and if your facial symmetry measurements are close to that then you’re more likely to be considered attractive.

Dr Julian De Silva conducted the study, finding Clooney scored the closest to perfection with a rating of 91.86% - just ahead of Bradley Cooper at 91.8% and Brad Pitt who was rated 90.51%.

Other top rated stars included One Direction’s Harry Styles, soccer star David Beckham and movie actor Ryan Gosling. SCIENTISTS from Harvard University in the USA have used the secretions of slimy slugs as the inspiration for a new type of ‘bio glue’ which could transform medicine.

The incredibly strong substance is able to flexibly move with the body and sticks to wet surfaces.

The ‘Dusky Arion’ slug creates sticky mucus to defend itself, with a report in the Science journal detailing work which shows the glue is non-toxic and three times stronger than any other medical adhesive, with a wide range of medical applications.
