Scientists have discovered a giant type of duck-billed dinosaur that lived in what is now New Mexico about 75 million years ago.The dinosaur Athisresaurus wimani probably had a flattened head and a bony crest low on its snout, researchers found in a study. The findings, to be published in the Proceedings of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, suggest that during the last 20 million years of the Cretaceous Period (145 million to 66 million years ago), platypus dinosaurs, or hadrosaurs, may have been more diverse and duplicated than previously thought.Hadrosaurs were large plant-eating dinosaurs that lived…
A unique code that uses playing cards and dice to convert language into glyphs produces text that is eerily similar to the glyphs in the Voynich Manuscript, new research has revealed. This discovery suggests that equivalent codes may have been used to create mysterious medieval manuscripts.The new code, called “naibe” after the name of a 14th-century Italian card game, cannot decipher the medieval Voynich manuscript, but it does provide an idea of how the manuscript was created.The Voynich manuscript has been radiocarbon dated to the 15th century and contains approximately 38,000 words written in glyphs that have never been translated.…
It is a well-known fact that babies have more bones than adults. Newborn babies have between 275 and 300 bones, and as they grow, smaller bones fuse and harden to form larger bones, whereas most adults have only 206 bones (smaller, softer bones give the baby more flexibility to curl up in the womb and navigate the birth canal).But is it possible for adults to gain bone mass as well?In fact, some adults have more than 206 bones. According to a 2024 study published in the journal Scientific Reports, these extra bones, known as accessory or supernumerary bones, can occur…
A new mRNA therapy could rejuvenate key immune cells in the body, helping fight infections and cancer, a mouse study suggests.T cells help train other immune cells to fight disease. However, as the body ages, these T cells become less active and less responsive to threats. Additionally, the thymus gland, where T cells mature, begins to shrink with age. These effects of aging may explain why vaccines and immune-boosting cancer treatments are less effective in older people than in younger adults, Nature News reported.In a new study published in Nature on December 17, scientists tried to use messenger RNA (mRNA)…
India has ordered Elon Musk’s India’s IT Ministry on Friday issued an order directing Musk’s X to take remedial action against Grok, including restricting it from producing content containing “nudity, sexual content, sexually explicit content, or otherwise unlawful” content. The ministry also gave social media platforms 72 hours to submit action reports detailing the steps they have taken to prevent the hosting or distribution of content deemed “obscene, pornographic, vulgar, indecent, sexually explicit, pedophilic, or prohibited by law.” The order, seen by TechCrunch, warns that failure to comply could jeopardize Company X’s “safe harbor” protections, or legal immunity for user-generated…

Tesla’s annual sales have fallen for the second year in a row, with the decline exacerbated by the elimination of U.S. federal tax credits and competition from Chinese automakers. Tesla will deliver 1.63 million vehicles globally in 2025, down 9% from 1.79 million in 2024, according to figures released by the company. Notably, approximately 50,850 of these vehicles are considered “other models,” a collection that includes the Cybertruck and its older Model X and Model S. Tesla reported sales of 418,227 vehicles in the fourth quarter, down 15.6% from a year earlier and far exceeding analysts’ expectations. Tesla shares fell…
No company has capitalized on the AI revolution more dramatically than Nvidia. Its revenue, profitability, and cash reserves have skyrocketed since the introduction of ChatGPT over three years ago — and the many competitive generative AI services that have launched since. Its stock price has soared, making it a $4.6 trillion market cap company. The world’s leading high-performance GPU maker has used its ballooning fortunes to significantly increase investments in startups, particularly in AI. Nvidia has participated in nearly 67 venture capital deals in 2025, surpassing the 54 deals the company completed in all of 2024, according to PitchBook data. Note…
Parvathy Sobha, Brida Mbuwir, and Bart Overdevest discuss how Europe can strengthen energy security by learning from the Nordic model, showing that high penetration of renewable energy, strong grid integration, and coordinated markets can deliver reliable net-zero electricity systems. Renewable energy is transforming Europe’s energy landscape, but the rapid green transition is testing the stability of the electricity grid. The Iberian blackout exposed the risks of ambition outweighing system flexibility. But in the north, it’s a different story. Nordic countries are integrating huge proportions of renewable energy while keeping the lights on, proving that reliability and decarbonization can go hand…
The group traveled thousands of miles across Africa and the Middle East, finally arriving in the dark forests of the New World. They were part of a long-vanished tribe of modern humans, Homo sapiens, who were among the first to invade Europe.There, these people probably met their distant relatives – Neanderthals.Close relatives of modern humans, these small groups have hooded eyebrows, large heads, and stocky bodies, and have spent a long time adapting to Europe’s cold climate. At some point over several millennia, these two forms of humanity would meet, intermingle, and mate. you may like Tens of thousands of…
