Credit: IPHES-CERCA/Luis Quevedo/Madrid Scientific Films. Human remains from 11 individuals recovered from El Mirador Cave in Spain showed evidence of cannibalism, archaeologists have concluded. According to a new paper published in the journal Scientific Reports, the cannibalism was likely the result of a violent episode between competing Late Neolithic herding communities about 5,700 years ago. “Cannibalism is one of the most complex behaviors to interpret, due to the inherent difficulty of

Encryption Made for Police and Military Radios May Be Easily Cracked

wired.com Kim Zetter 2026-01-06 11:09:07

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, and military forces around the world–that made any communication secured with the algorithm vulnerable to eavesdropping. When the researchers publicly disclosed the issue in 2023, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which developed the algorithm, advised anyone using it for

Such tools help ransomware operators turn off security products on breached systems so they can deploy payloads, escalate privileges, attempt lateral movement, and ultimately encrypt devices on the network without being detected.

Lithium compound can reverse Alzheimer’s in mice: study

“The idea that lithium deficiency could be a cause of Alzheimer’s disease is new and suggests a different therapeutic approach,” said senior author Bruce Yankner, professor of genetics and neurology in the Blavatnik Institute at HMS, who in the 1990s was the first to demonstrate that amyloid beta is toxic. The study raises hopes that researchers could one day use lithium to treat the disease in its entirety rather than focusing on a single facet such as amyloid beta or tau, he said. One of the

Tesla’s Biggest Rivals Warn the EV Party Might Be Over

Next Year’s MacBook Pro Refresh Could Fix the Screen’s Ugliest Feature

Ever since Apple released its iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, Apple has had the answer to the absolute worst element of today’s MacBook displays. And still, the dreaded “notch” remained. The notch that hangs just below the top screen bezel, encompassing the webcam cutout, is like a stalactite hanging precariously above the main screen. The next MacBook Pro refresh could finally see Apple break out its chisel to remove the notch as it gears up for its most important laptop refresh of the last half-decade.

And yet, they have not only survived but thrived for more than 25 million years, outcompeting faster, stronger and smarter animals. How is such a thing possible?

One of the best things about the new show, Alien: Earth, is that you do not need to be an Alien superfan to enjoy it. It’s not dependent on the plots of the seven-plus films in the franchise and is only connected to them in a few tangential ways. For now, at least. Nevertheless, there are a few things worth keeping in mind as we get closer to the August 12 debut. Here they are. The overview The Alien franchise began in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s film, Alien.

An international team of astronomers has identified the earliest black hole ever confirmed, an ancient behemoth that existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang. The discovery could offer new clues to a mysterious class of ancient galaxies that confounded prevailing theories of cosmology. In a new paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the researchers describe CAPERS-LRD-z9—a distant, gas-enshrouded galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center.
