For the first time, scientists have uncovered a large amber deposit in South America containing fossilized insects and other preserved creatures. The small, half-transparent fossils hold a rich assortment of ancient bugs—and a slice of life from little-known ecosystems from over 100 million years ago.

Jaguar Smashes Record for the Species’ Longest Recorded Swim, Baffling Scientists

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-24 16:12:47

Despite what they say about cats and water, jaguars are powerful swimmers. These predators rarely stray from the rivers and wetlands that permeate their rainforest habitat, and they readily dive in to hunt for prey. Usually, these dips are relatively brief: Until now, the farthest jaguar swim on record was just 656 feet (200 meters). But now, scientists have observed a jaguar in Brazil smashing that record as if they were a feline Michael Phelps, with the big cat seemingly paddling for more tha

Nothing’s New Ear 3 Fix One of the Worst Things About Wireless Earbuds

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-09-24 16:33:10

As I said in my AirPods Pro 3 review, wireless earbuds have reached a ceiling. Generally, the basics—sound, active noise cancellation (ANC), and battery life—can only be improved by so much each generation. The feature that arguably gets the least attention is microphone quality. I’m constantly asking people on calls and Zooms whether they can hear me and if my voice sounds clear or not.

NASA Mission to Map Sun’s Protective Bubble Could Help Better Predict Dangerous Space Weather

The Sun is an energetic star, constantly radiating energy and pumping streams of charged particles out into space. And while this solar wind can be dangerous in itself, without it, Earth and all the other members of our planetary system would be at constant risk of threats from outer space. Our host star creates a protective bubble called the heliosphere that extends far beyond the orbit of Neptune, shielding the planets from the interstellar medium.

China Turns Legacy Chips Into a Trade Weapon

While the Trump administration was trying to make a TikTok deal happen during a meeting with China last weekend, Beijing was busy adding its own bargaining chips to the table. Actual chips, in fact—semiconductors. In the past week, China has unveiled a series of regulatory actions targeting American chipmakers. The most significant is an anti-dumping investigation into American legacy chips that power everything from cars and refrigerators to washing machines and data centers. Unlike cutting-ed
