In ancient Arabia, people dined on sharks and stingrays

Popular Science

'We know that these were not just ordinary proteins, but proteins from the top of the food chain.' Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. A 7,000-year-old grave site in present-day Oman indicates that the region's Neolithic communities sometimes turned to an unexpected trade to not only survive, but thrive in the harsh desert landscape. According to findings published in the journal, the people of southern Arabia actually hunted sharks and even stingrays . Since 2020, researchers from the Archaeological Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague (ARÚ) have investigated Wadi Nafūn, an ancient grave site megalith (a structure built with large stones) used by Neolithic locals during the 5th century BCE.

Amateur mathematicians solve long-standing maths problems with AI

New Scientist

Amateur mathematicians are using artificial intelligence chatbots to solve long-standing problems, in a move that has taken professionals by surprise. While the problems in question aren't the most advanced in the mathematical canon, the success of AI models in tackling them shows that their mathematical performance has passed a significant threshold, say researchers, and could fundamentally change the way we do mathematics. The questions being solved by AI originate from Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, who was famous for his ability to pose useful but difficult questions during a career that spanned over six decades. "The questions tended to be very simple, but very hard," says Thomas Bloom at the University of Manchester, UK. By his death in 1996, there were more than 1000 of these unsolved Erdős problems, spanning a wide range of mathematical disciplines, from combinatorics (the study of combinations) to number theory.


How to finally get a grasp on quantum computing

New Scientist

If your New Year's resolution is to understand quantum computing this year, take a cue from a 9-year-old podcaster talking to some of the biggest minds in the field, says quantum columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan Quantum computing seems to pop up in the news pretty often these days. You've probably seen quantum chips gracing your feeds and their odd, steampunk-ish cooling systems in the pages of magazines and newspapers. Politicians and business leaders are peppering their announcements with the word "quantum" more frequently, too. If you're feeling a little confused about it all, it's a good year for a New Year's resolution to finally figure out what quantum computing is all about. This is an ambitious goal, and the timing certainly makes sense.

Israeli strikes kill two in Lebanon, UN forces report drone attack

Al Jazeera

Israeli strikes have killed two people in Lebanon, according to the Lebanese health ministry, in the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. In a statement on Friday, the Ministry of Public Health said an "Israeli enemy strike" on a vehicle in Mansuri in southern Lebanon had killed one person. Israel said the victim of that attack was a Hezbollah member who it alleged "took part in attempts to reestablish Hezbollah's infrastructure in the Zawtar al-Sharqiyah area". The Israeli military on Thursday also carried out several strikes in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa region, north of the Litani River, after issuing warnings to evacuate. United Nations peacekeepers deployed in southern Lebanon on Friday sent a stop-fire request to the Israeli army after a drone "dropped a grenade" on its troops.


Why do cats lick you? An expert explains.

Popular Science

Why do cats lick you? Grooming is only one way cats say, I love you." Some cats shower their favorite humans with sandpaper kisses. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. If you've ever been around a cat, you know they can get the sudden urge to groom themselves at just about any moment. Everything seems lovely and content. Then, they lose all interest in you and start licking their butt. A cat will be busy grooming themselves. Other cats can't be bothered and won't ever groom or lick their human friends, or other kitty friends for that matter. So, why do some cats lick their owners? Are they trying to clean you, too? We asked an animal behaviorist and cat expert to help us sort out exactly what is going on when your cat licks you. For a mother cat, grooming is an important part of child rearing. When a mama cat licks her kittens it serves two important purposes: keeping her kittens clean and promoting social bonds, Kristyn Vitale, an animal behaviorist at Maueyes Cat Science and Education tells . On the one hand, "mother cats are going to groom their kittens to help keep them clean and healthy," says Vitale. Kittens can be especially susceptible to diseases, and "anybody who's raised young kittens knows how dirty they can get, and a mother cat is not going to obviously bathe their kitten in a tub.
