It's a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across each month. In the past, we've featured year-end roundups of cool science stories we (almost) missed. This year, we're experimenting with a monthly collection. June's list includes the final results from the Muon g-2 experiment, re-creating the recipe for Egyptian blue, embedding coded messages in ice bubbles, and why cats seem to have a marked preference for sleeping on thei

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-09 02:45:15

A boomerang carved from a mammoth tusk is one of the oldest in the world, and it may be even older than archaeologists originally thought, according to a recent round of radiocarbon dating. Archaeologists unearthed the mammoth-tusk boomerang in Poland’s Oblazowa Cave in the 1990s, and they originally dated it to around 18,000 years old, which made it one of the world’s oldest intact boomerangs. But according to recent analysis by University of Bologna researcher Sahra Talamo and her colleagues,

Back in February of this year, Qualcomm quietly published the source code for interacting with EUD.

The Simple Joys of Watching a Giant Robot Knee a Giant Monster in the Balls

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-09-09 10:45:05

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie is a movie filled with many absurd excesses. A combination of the intense mania surrounding the ’90s phenomenon and a big-picture budget, it is a film that constantly asks the question, “What if we could possibly be doing the most at all times?” The film also constantly answers that. From the opening skydiving sequence to the Rangers’ new “armored” super suits slapping layers of plasticky padding on top of their now even shinier, faux-leathered Spandex s

Instagram announced Monday that it’s finally adding the ability for users to listen to previews of songs that they’ve shared from Spotify to Stories. While Instagram has long allowed users to share Spotify songs to their Stories, it would do so without sound, and simply provide a link to the song on the streaming platform. Now, when a user posts a song to their Story, viewers will be able to listen to a preview of the song right within Instagram. The small change, yet notable change makes it e

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I can still remember the moment I switched from Windows to Linux. Back then, I didn't have anyone there to tell me what to expect. It would have been nice to get even a bit of advice from someone with Linux experience in the know to say, "Hey, you'll want to know about this before you start down that path."

Meta, TikTok can’t toss wrongful death suit from mom of “subway surfing” teen

Section 230 has so far failed to shield Meta and TikTok owner ByteDance from a lawsuit raised by a mother who alleged that her son's wrongful death followed a flood of "subway surfing" videos platforms intentionally targeted to teens in New York. In a decision Monday, New York State Supreme Court Judge Paul Goetz largely denied social media companies' motions to dismiss claims they argued should be barred under Section 230 and the First Amendment.
