BAY OF AARHUS, Denmark (AP) — Below the dark blue waters of the Bay of Aarhus in northern Denmark, archaeologists search for coastal settlements swallowed by rising sea levels more than 8,500 years ago. This summer, divers descended about 8 meters (26 feet) below the waves close to Aarhus, Denmark’s second-biggest city, and collected evidence of a Stone Age settlement from the seabed. It’s part of a 13.2 million euro ($15.5 million) six-year international project to map parts of the seabed in

F1 in Hungary: Strategy and fast tire changes make all the difference

Formula 1 teams can start their annual summer break today. Sometime this month, each of the 10 teams has to close its factory for 14 consecutive days. Laptops stay in the office, email goes unchecked. It all sounds very civilized for a sport where the difference between hero and zero can come down to milliseconds. As was the case at this past weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, at least in qualifying. When the Hungaroring was added to the calendar back in 1986, it was F1's first true foray behind t

The executives behind big generative artificial intelligence companies are quick to claim their products will displace huge numbers of workers. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made headlines in May by saying generative AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs in the next few years. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in April that he wants AI to be writing half of the company's code in the next year.

In Brief The United Kingdom recently started enforcing the Online Safety Act’s age-check rules, and The Washington Post reports that it’s already having a significant effect on web traffic. U.K. law now requires pornography websites to verify their users’ ages through means such as face scans and driver’s licenses; it also requires that online platforms prevent children from being exposed to adult content (which is why sites like Bluesky and Reddit have begun checking some users’ ages).

Extreme Heat Makes Your Body Age Faster
