For centuries, the term has been used to describe the soft, curly hair forming the fleecy coat of sheep and other animals. It even features prominently in nursery rhymes such as'Baa Baa Black Sheep', sung by children across the UK. But the Oxford English Dictionary's definition must be modernised to include plant-powered varieties that'leave sheep in peace', campaigners say. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) argues that wool derived from linen, hemp and bamboo has existed for centuries.

Officials at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana revealed that an'unmanned aerial system' - better known as a remote-controlled drone - was spotted near the facility Monday morning. Since drones are strictly prohibited from flying near or over the base, the Air Force temporarily raised their Force Protection Condition (FPCON) level to'Charlie,' meaning a possible terrorist threat had been detected . Barksdale Air Force Base is home to the military's fleet of B-52 bombers, capable of delivering nuclear strikes around the world. Base officials noted that Monday's incident was still under investigation, and no details on where the mystery drone came from or if it was captured have emerged.
Scientists reveal controversial plan to launch 50,000 MIRRORS into space for 'sunlight on demand' - but sceptics warn it poses 'serious risks' to wildlife and humans

California-based startup, Reflect Orbital, is poised to secure permission to launch a 60-foot (18.3-metre) prototype mirror into orbit to beam sunlight back to the Earth's surface. Once it has reached an altitude of 400 miles (640 km), the mirror will unfurl and illuminate a patch of Earth about three miles (4.8 km) wide. Someone looking up from the ground would see a small dot of light about as bright as the moon. Reflect Orbital says its space mirrors could allow solar power plants to operate 24 hours a day, provide lighting for disaster-struck regions, and even replace street lights.
'I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff': professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI
'I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff': professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI Lea Pao, a professor of literature at Stanford University, has been experimenting with ways to get her students to learn offline. She has them memorize poems, perform at recitation events, look at art in the real world. It's an effort to reconnect them to the bodily experience of learning, she said, and to keep them from turning to artificial intelligence to do the work for them. "There's no AI-proof anything," Pao said. "Rather than policing it, I hope that their overall experiences in this class will show them that there's a way out."

Instead, it was a controversial geoengineering experiment that scientists claim could help to slow down global warming . The oceans already hold around 38,000 billion tonnes of CO2, trapped as dissolved sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda.

The agency has been tracking the Van Allen Probe A and predicts it will reenter the atmosphere at around 7.45pm ET, though the exact timing could vary by up to 24 hours. Because the spacecraft is traveling thousands of miles per hour and the reentry window spans nearly a full day, scientists cannot predict exactly where debris may fall. NASA said most of the spacecraft is expected to burn up as it streaks through the atmosphere, although some components could survive the fall. The risk of anyone being harmed is extremely low, estimated at roughly 1 in 4,200.

I've taught thousands of people how to use AI – here's what I've learned
I've taught thousands of people how to use AI - here's what I've learned Most people fail with AI because they don't understand what it actually is - if you treat it as a skill, not a shortcut, you'll get the best results Training teams to use AI at work has given me a front-row seat to a new kind of professional divide. Some people hand everything over to the machine and stop thinking. They learn to work with AI critically, treat it like a bright, enthusiastic intern that needs to be managed and supported to do their best work. A willingness to experiment, get things wrong, and figure out what AI is actually good at. Here's what I've learned so far.

The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors. The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.

Anthony Glees, Emeritus Professor at the University of Buckingham, called the US and Israeli decision to attack Iran a'war of choice' and the first red flag, which previously led to the last two world wars. He claimed that the conflict in the Middle East did not start of necessity or self-defense, but as a deliberate decision by two leaders focused on gaining power and keeping it . Next, Glees alleged that both President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu share the same mindset that'might is right,' even if that means ignoring international law. The historian warned that such attitudes have appeared before among aggressive regimes that have invaded nearby nations to satisfy their own ambitions.
