A shrimp scrap drifted down the face of a mirror, and a small reef fish tracked it like it was watching a slow-motion experiment. The fish, a blue-streak cleaner wrasse, had carried the shrimp upward, released it near the glass, and then followed its fall while repeatedly touching the mirror with its mouth. That sequence showed up days after the wrasse first met its own reflection. To the researchers watching from outside the tank, it looked less like feeding and more like curiosity aimed at the mirror itself. A team from Osaka Metropolitan University says this is a new, higher-order kind of mirror probing in cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus), a fish already known for passing the classic “mark test”...

The finale of HBO's 'Game of Thrones' spin-off made a small but significant change to George R.R. Martin's 'Tales of Dunk and Egg' novella.

Le narcotrafiquant Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, dit “El Mencho”, a été tué par l’armée mexicaine le 22 février. La presse du pays retrace le parcours de ce fils de paysans qui, en une décennie seulement, a constitué l’une des organisations criminelles les plus violentes du pays, le cartel de Jalisco Nouvelle Génération.

Le chef de file de La France insoumise, dans la tempête depuis que des proches du député Raphaël Arnault figurent parmi les personnes interpellées ou mises en examen dans l’enquête sur la mort de Quentin Deranque, a choisi de répondre aux questions de « nouveaux médias ».

La presse russe a annoncé vendredi 20 février la disparition du musée de l’Histoire du goulag, situé à Moscou, unique institution du pays qui documentait les crimes commis par l’État soviétique. Il sera remplacé par un musée en hommage aux “victimes du génocide du peuple soviétique”. Les médias indépendants dénoncent un énième assaut du pouvoir contre la mémoire historique.

Dans un témoignage écrit, Laurent Nuñez a déclaré que le fait d’accuser le professeur de blasphème ne l’exposait « pas nécessairement à un danger ». Il est ensuite revenu sur sa déclaration dans un courriel envoyé à la présidente, qui a demandé lundi à ce qu’il soit réentendu.

The second-gen trackers look similar to the originals but come with a few welcome upgrades. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Less than a month after making their debut, Apple’s second-gen AirTags are already receiving their first discount. Right now, Costco members can buy five location trackers for $99.99 ($29 off) either online or in-store, bringing the price of each tracker down to about $20 a pop. If you don’t already belong to Costco, you can still take advantage of the discount if you’re willing to pay a $5 surcharge or sign up for an annual membership, which currently starts at $65 a year.

The popular Netflix films are getting special feature-filled physical releases.

You wake up in the middle of the night. Is it time to get up? Well, you can look at the nightstand clock. Unless your partner is in the way. Whoops. Even then, without your glasses, the time is just a fuzzball of light. You could ask Alexa, but that’s sure to wake your partner, too. The answer is a projection clock. In its modern form, it shoots a digital time display on a wall or ceiling with digits so large that you don’t need your glasses. If you can see the ceiling, you can tell what time it is.

A modern invention, of course. No, not really. According to [Roger Russel], a UK patent in 1909 used an analog clock face and lightbulbs to project the clock face and hands on the ceiling....

À seulement 38 ans, le volontaire et optimiste Rob Jetten est désormais le plus jeune Premier ministre néerlandais. Sa coalition de centre droit, qui a pris ses fonctions ce 23 février, devra faire la preuve de son efficacité – et de son habileté, puisqu’elle ne dispose d’une majorité dans aucune des deux chambres du Parlement.

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday three-dimensional space, that swap only comes in two flavors. Either the system looks exactly the same after the exchange, or it flips sign in a way that forces the particles to avoid sharing a state. Those two outcomes sit at the heart of the boson and fermion divide that organizes the Standard Model. Lower the number of dimensions, and that clean split starts to fray. Physicists have predicted since the 1970s that a middle ground should exist: anyons, particles that are neither bosons nor fermions. In 2020, experiments observed anyons at the interface of supercooled, strongly...

Depuis le début de l’année, les attaques d’adolescents dans des établissements scolaires russes se multiplient. Tandis que les autorités dénoncent des manipulations extérieures et renforcent la surveillance, une partie de la presse indépendante y voit le symptôme d’un malaise plus profond, nourri par la guerre et l’épuisement des enseignants.

Le ministre français des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël Barrot, a annoncé que l’ambassadeur des États-Unis en France, Charles Kushner, serait convoqué lundi 23 février au soir après des déclarations de l’administration Trump sur le meurtre du militant d’extrême droite. Une décision justifiée, estime la presse étrangère, qui note que Paris est de plus en plus irritable à l’approche des prochaines échéances électorales.

The CEO of the supercar company says demand for high-end full electric cars is “almost zero.” Could this mean Ferrari's Luce will be dead on arrival?

Le chef du gouvernement slovaque a justifié cette décision par l’interruption de la fourniture de pétrole russe à son pays à travers l’oléoduc Droujba, qui passe par le territoire ukrainien. Cette mesure « sera levée dès que le transit de pétrole vers la Slovaquie sera rétabli. Dans le cas contraire, nous prendrons de nouvelles mesures réciproques », a-t-il ajouté.

One of the issues with nuclear power plants is that they produce long-lived radioactive waste. Storing spent nuclear fuel is a real problem. However, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have made strides not only to produce more electricity from spent fuel but also to break it down into shorter-lived nuclear waste. [Aman Tripathi] shares the details about NEWTON, a program to fire high-energy protons at a target to produce a flood of neutrons that can interact with nuclear waste. You can read the original press release, too.
Short-lived, of course, is a relative term. Unprocessed spent fuel may be dangerous for about 100,000 years. After the proposed...

Le 24 février 2022, alors que la Russie envahit l'Ukraine, le monde a pensé que le droit international disposerait d'un arsenal assez puissant pour contraindre le président russe Vladimir Poutine. Quatre ans plus tard, malgré les Conventions de Genève et les mandats d'arrêt de la Cour Pénale Internationale contre Vladimir Poutine, les violations humanitaires sévissent toujours en Ukraine. Le droit international dévoile ses fragilités : ce n'est pas un bouclier protecteur mais un système paralysé par sa structure, dépourvu de force coercitive et instrumentalisé par les grandes puissances révisionnistes. Le droit international devient, ainsi, impuissant en temps de conflits. Cicéron l'affirmait...

Discord is attempting to distance itself from the age verification provider Persona following a steady stream of user backlash.

After Discord announced plans to implement age verification globally starting next month, users across social media accused Discord of "lying" about how it plans on handling face scans and ID uploads. Much of the criticism was directed toward Discord's partnership with Persona, an age v …

A giant main floor window next to Kohler’s new recirculating shower system isn’t required. | Image: Kohler Kohler claims its new Anthem EvoCycle smart shower system can deliver "up to 80% water savings" without the use of showerheads that limit flow or pressure. The system instead relies on a reservoir in the shower's base that collects used water and passes it through a filtration system before sending it back up through the showerhead.

Progress towards reliable deepfake labelling tech is sluggish, despite all the “help” from AI providers. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images As 2025 drew to a close, Instagram head Adam Mosseri ended the year by doom-posting about AI. "Authenticity is becoming infinitely reproducible," Mosseri lamented. "Everything that made creators matter - the ability to be real, to connect, to have a voice that couldn't be faked - is now accessible to anyone with the right tools." But people, Mosseri insisted, still wanted "content that feels real." His proposed solution was finding a way to label real media.

À l’occasion du sommet mondial sur l’intelligence artificielle, qui s’est déroulé en Inde du 16 au 20 février, 86 pays ont signé une déclaration appelant à la mise en place d’une IA « sûre, digne de confiance et robuste ». L’occasion de revenir sur les origines de cette discipline née en 1956 à l’occasion d’un colloque universitaire organisé à Dartmouth, sur la côte est des États-Unis. Un article à retrouver également dans le nouveau numéro de FUTUR, le magazine d’Usbek & Rica.

A blade of bone lay half-buried in Saharan sand, shaped like a scimitar and tall enough to confuse the people who picked it up. In November 2019, a 20-person team working in Niger collected that crest and a few jaw fragments from the desert surface. They did not grasp what they had at first. When they returned in 2022 and found two more crests, the pieces clicked into place. The fossils belonged to a new species of spinosaurid: Spinosaurus mirabilis, described in a paper in Science. The team was led by Paul Sereno, a professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago. The discovery, the authors argue, adds a late chapter to spinosaurid evolution, and it comes from an inland basin rather...

Automotive airbags are key safety devices that aim to reduce injuries and mortality in the event of motor vehicle accidents. These rapidly-inflating cushions act to soften the blow of an impact, catching occupants of the vehicle and preventing them from hitting hard parts of the vehicle’s interior.
Airbags are rigorously tested to perform as faultlessly as possible under all conditions. However, no system is perfect, and every automotive component has an expected service life. The question is—how old is too old when it comes to airbags? The answer is not exactly straightforward. What’s My Age Again?
Airbags first hit the market in the 1970s, but it was in the 1980s that the technology became more widely...

A quiet shift in the numbers behind the universe’s growth is pushing scientists toward a bold possibility. Two of the cosmos’ most elusive players, dark matter and neutrinos, may not be strangers after all. New research from the University of Sheffield reports signs they could be interacting, a finding that challenges a core assumption in the standard model of cosmology. Dark matter makes up about 85% of the matter in the universe, yet no one has seen it directly. Scientists infer it from its gravitational pull on galaxies and large-scale structure. Neutrinos are also famously hard to catch. They carry an extremely small mass, and they rarely interact with other matter. Even so, researchers have observed...

Even entry-level oscilloscopes today have simple math functions such as adding or subtracting two channels. But as [Arthur Pini] notes, more advanced scopes can now even do integration and differentiation. He writes about using these tools to make measurements on capacitors and inductors. The post in EDN is worth a read, even if your scope doesn’t offer this sort of math yet.
It makes sense that capacitors and inductors would benefit from this feature. After all, the current through a capacitor, for example, is proportional to the rate of change in the voltage across it. That’s a derivative. Since the scope can measure voltages, it can also differentiate to find the current.
The same idea applies to...

Belgium has become one of Europe’s most active testing grounds when it comes to pirate site-blocking enforcement. The country’s two-step system, where a court issues an injunction and a government department (BAPO) then determines how it is implemented, has resulted in a series of diverse site-blocking orders since the framework launched in 2025.
An Eclectic Site Blocking Push
The first order, obtained by sports broadcaster DAZN in April 2025, started quite aggressively. It required ISPs and third-party DNS resolvers, including Cloudflare, Google, and Cisco’s OpenDNS, to stop resolving over 100 pirate domains. If not, they would risk a fine of €100,000 per day. Cisco refused to comply with the order...
