ノルウェー中部の金属探知機が最近、バイキング時代の金属ブローチを発見した。 But when he led archaeologists to the site, they discovered much more. It was a burial with evidence of unusual rituals never seen before.ノルウェー科学技術大学大学博物館の技術主任でプロジェクトリーダーのレイモンド・ソバージュ氏は、「墓には女性と思われる人物が埋葬されており、9世紀に遡る典型的なバイキング時代の衣装や宝石類を身に着けて埋葬されている」と翻訳声明で述べた。 “The most striking feature is the two scallop shells placed near the mouth of the deceased, a practice previously unknown in pre-Christian graves in Norway.”The burial was discovered earlier this year when detection engineer Roy Soren was searching a coastal area privately owned by Alve Instrand in Trøndelag County. Soren came up with an oval metal brooch typical of Viking Age jewelry. Instrand and Soren alerted archaeologists, who dug further and discovered a tomb filled…
NASA has finally released a cache of previously unreleased images of comet 3I/ATLAS, emphasizing that the interstellar visitor is a natural object.Comet 3I/ATLAS has become a celestial celebrity since its discovery in July. One reason for this is the constant speculation that it could be an alien spacecraft. Most astronomers are confident that this interstellar visitor is a natural comet from an unknown star system, but NASA has remained silent about the comet in recent weeks due to the U.S. government shutdown.This outage, which lasted from October 1 to November 12, coincided with Comet 3I/ATLAS flying behind the Sun, reaching…
When it comes to recycling, few materials can match aluminum. Because aluminum can be reused many times and requires much less energy, recycling is often cheaper than producing new aluminum. However, only about one-third of the aluminum used in the United States is recycled. The problem lies in sorting mixed aluminum scrap, a challenge that has long plagued the recycling industry. But Sortera CEO Michael Siemer believes his company has found the key. Sortera says it has developed a system that can separate grades of aluminum with more than 95% accuracy. This is a breakthrough achievement that will unlock a…

November 20, 2025hacker newsOnline fraud/web security CTM360 has identified a rapidly expanding WhatsApp account hacking campaign targeting users around the world through a network of fake authentication portals and spoof pages. The campaign, known internally as HackOnChat, exploits WhatsApp’s familiar web interface and uses social engineering tactics to trick users into compromising their accounts. Researchers identified thousands of malicious URLs hosted on inexpensive top-level domains and quickly generated through modern website building platforms. This allows attackers to deploy new pages at scale. Campaign activity logs show hundreds of incidents in recent weeks, with notable increases across the Middle East and…
November 20, 2025Ravi LakshmananMalware/Mobile Security Cybersecurity researchers have revealed details of a new Android banking Trojan called Sturnus that can steal credentials and take over entire devices to perform financial fraud. “A key differentiator is the ability to bypass encrypted messaging,” ThreatFabric said in a report shared with The Hacker News. “By capturing content directly from the device screen after decryption, Sturnus can monitor communications via WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal.” Another notable feature is the ability to perform overlay attacks in stages by providing a fake login screen on a banking app to capture the victim’s credentials. According to the…
Five wild female bonobos in the Democratic Republic of the Congo viciously attacked a male member of their group, disfiguring his face to the point of being almost unrecognizable, ripping off one of his ears, and biting his testicles in an unprecedented attack for the species, scientists have reported.Researchers arrived at the scene several minutes late, so it’s not entirely clear what triggered the brutal act, which lasted about 30 minutes. But the male bonobo may have tried to harm one of their infants, the authors report in the October 6 issue of the journal Current Biology.”Although we did not…
Scientists have finally discovered how a strange desert plant can grow in one of the hottest places on Earth. It turns out that this vigorous plant changes its internal arrangement as the temperature rises.Extreme conditions frequently occur in California’s Death Valley. Temperatures often exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) in the shade during summer. Most plants die when faced with such heat, but one plant, Tidestromia oblongifolia, thrives.Now, researchers have discovered that these grey-green flowering shrubs grow smaller leaves and rearrange their interiors to thrive even under extremely hot conditions. They also discovered that the shrub has the highest…
Special Competitive Research Projects (SCSP) Chairman Jiri Bajraktari and Deputy Director for Fusion Nicholas Furst reflected on the United States’ role in the global fusion field and emphasized that international cooperation and coordination is essential for commercial fusion energy. The global race for fusion energy began in December 2022, when researchers at the U.S. National Ignition Facility (NIF) successfully ignited the first fusion. The experiment, which released more energy than was put into the target, proved that energy-positive fusion reactions are no longer an abstraction limited to theory and simulation. In fact, its influence extended far beyond science. The first…
