Settlements of gloomy octopuses in Australia Octopolis and Octlantis are two non-human settlements occupied by gloomy octopuses (Octopus tetricus) in Jervis Bay, on the south coast of New South Wales. The first site, named "Octopolis" by biologists, was found in 2009. Octopolis consists of a bed of shells (mainly scallop shells) in an ellipse shape, 2–3 meters diameter on its longer axis, with a single piece of anthropogenic detritus, believed to be scrap metal, within the site.

A renovation project in Turkey led to the discovery of a lost city (2023)

news.ycombinator.com April White 2025-11-15 11:34:55

We live cheek by jowl with undiscovered worlds. Sometimes the barriers that separate us are thick, sometimes they’re thin, and sometimes they’re breached. That’s when a wardrobe turns into a portal to Narnia, a rabbit hole leads to Wonderland, and a Raquel Welch poster is all that separates a prison cell from the tunnel to freedom. A Fateful Swing of the Hammer Those are all fictional examples. But in 1963, that barrier was breached for real. Taking a sledgehammer to a wall in his basement, a

Physics of badminton’s new killer spin serve

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-15 18:44:31

Serious badminton players are constantly exploring different techniques to give them an edge over opponents. One of the latest innovations is the spin serve, a devastatingly effective method in which a player adds a pre-spin just before the racket contacts the shuttlecock (aka the birdie). It's so effective—some have called it "impossible to return"—that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned the spin serve in 2023, at least until after the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. The sanction wasn

Unprecedented Video Shows Catfish Climbing Straight Up a Waterfall

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-16 23:00:47

In the wild, catfish lead elusive lives, evading detection from scientists hoping to learn more about their lifestyles. And so, when police received reports of weird catfish clumps at the bottom of a waterfall, they immediately contacted a team of scientists to do some detective work. After watching the fish for about 20 hours, the researchers arrived at the conclusion that these Rhyacoglanis paranensis—an orange-and-black species of bumblebee catfish common to South America—were scaling steep,

Most of the time, these features come back to how breathable the sheets are. Breathability means moisture can better evaporate, and “temperature-regulating” usually means the sheets are breathable enough to release the heat and moisture from your body.

Shamelessness as a strategy (2019)

Shamelessness as a strategy I’ve enjoyed playing a game called Avalon recently. I won’t go too far into the rules, but it’s a hidden role game in the vein of Secret Hitler or Werewolf, where one team is “good”, trying to uncover who among them is “evil”, before the evil team wins. One of the characters you can play is Merlin. Merlin knows who the evil players are, but can’t reveal what he knows, because the evil team can kill Merlin and win the game. So Merlin relies on another character, Perc

Should you replace a traditional Wi-Fi router with mesh? I compared the two, and here's my verdict

Maria Diaz/ZDNET With the adoption of remote and hybrid working, having a reliable internet connection at home is imperative -- not just for one device, but for several. If you have a family, maybe even dozens. So what's better, one single access point, or a mesh network spread about the home? The answer depends on how your home and office are set up and what kind of connection you need. Wi-Fi routers are so good these days that a single access point is often the most straightforward solution.
