A bulky shape drifted through dim water nearly half a kilometer below the Antarctic surface, moving slowly over a pale seabed. At first glance, it looked like something familiar. Then the realization landed. It was a shark, filmed in a place where many scientists assumed sharks did not live at all. The encounter happened in January 2025, when a deep-sea camera recorded a sleeper shark near the South Shetland Islands, off the Antarctic Peninsula. The animal measured an estimated 3 to 4 meters long, roughly 10 to 13 feet. Water temperatures at that depth hovered just above freezing. Alan Jamieson, founding director of the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre at the University of Western Australia, said the...

Des archéologues ont découvert sur le site d’El Caño, au Panama, une tombe vieille de plus de mille ans, abritant restes humains, orfèvrerie et céramiques, et ouvrant de nouvelles voies dans la connaissance des sociétés préhispaniques de l’isthme centraméricain.

An interesting detail about the Intel 8087 floating point processor (FPU) is that it’s a co-processor that shares a bus with the 8086 or 8088 CPU and system memory, which means that somehow both the CPU and FPU need to know which instructions are intended for the FPU. Key to this are eight so-called ESCAPE opcodes that are assigned to the co-processor, as explained in a recent article by [Ken Shirriff].
The 8087 thus waits to see whether it sees these opcodes, but since it doesn’t have access to the CPU’s registers, sharing data has to occur via system memory. The address for this is calculated by the CPU and read from by the CPU, with this address registered by the FPU and stores for later use in its...

Arturia launched a new version of its flagship effects suite, FX Collection, which includes two new plugins, EFX Ambient and Pitch Shifter-910. FX Collection 6 also marks the introduction of an Intro version with a selection of six effects covering the basics for $99. That pales in comparison to the 39 effects in the full FX Collection Pro, but that also costs $499.
Pitch Shifter-910 is based on the iconic Eventide H910 Harmonizer from 1974, an early digital pitchshifter and delay with a very unique character. Arturia does an admirable job preserving its glitchy quirks. Pitch Shifter-910 is not a transparent effect that lets you create natu …

A thin sheet of nylon does not look like much on its own. But in lab tests, a film made by researchers at RMIT University kept generating electricity after being folded, stretched, and even run over by a car, again and again. That kind of toughness matters because the basic trick the film uses is simple: squeeze it, and it produces an electric charge. Materials that do this are called piezoelectric, from the Greek word for “to press.” Quartz, some ceramics, and even bone can behave this way. Piezoelectric parts already sit inside modern vehicles, including fuel injectors, parking sensors, and airbag systems. The RMIT team’s aim is a flexible alternative that can survive real-world punishment and harvest...

If you’re interested in extraterrestrial life, these past few years have given an embarrassment of places to look, even in our own solar system. Mars has been an obvious choice since before the Space Age; in the orbit of Jupiter, Europa’s oceans have been of interest since Voyager’s day; the geysers of Enceladus give Saturn two moons of interest, if you count the possibility of a methane-based chemistry on Titan. Even faraway Neptune’s giant moon Triton probably has an ocean layer deep inside. Now the planet Uranus is getting in on the act, offering its moon Miranda for consideration in a kinda-recent study in the Planetary Science Journal. Miranda and Uranus, the new hot spot for...

At first glance, it looks like a plain, slightly glossy sheet. Then it goes through a quick bath, the temperature shifts, and a famous face comes back from nowhere. In one demonstration, a film made from hydrogel, a water-rich material that feels a bit like soft contact lens plastic, suddenly brought the Mona Lisa into view. The image was not printed with ink. It was encoded into the material itself, and it stayed invisible until the right conditions flipped the switch. That trick is part of a broader effort at Penn State to make what the researchers call a programmable “smart synthetic skin,” a thin, shape-shifting material that can be tuned to change its appearance, texture, and mechanical behavior when...

Although digital computers are – much like their human computer counterparts – about performing calculations, another crucial element is that of memory. After all, you need to fetch values from somewhere and store them afterwards. Sometimes values need to be stored for long periods of time, making memory one of the most important elements, yet also one of the most difficult ones. Back in the 1950s the storage options were especially limited, with a 1959 Bell Labs film reel that [Connections Museum] digitized running through the bleeding edge of 1950s storage technology.

A tight clump of four star clusters sits in the Perseus galaxy cluster, and at first glance it looks like nothing special. No bright spiral arms. No obvious central bulge. Not even the soft smudge you would expect from a faint dwarf galaxy. That emptiness is the point. Astronomers say those four globular clusters, plus an almost ghostly halo of starlight around them, mark the location of an “almost dark” galaxy, one that carries a huge load of dark matter while forming very few stars. The object is called Candidate Dark Galaxy-2, or CDG-2, and it may be among the most extreme examples yet of a galaxy where the usual luminous stuff barely registers. The work is reported in The Astrophysical Journal Letters....

I own an SMK CP2 Convertible CO2 gun. Also sold under other names (including Artemis CP2 and Diana Chaser) the gun's unique selling point is that it ships with two barrels allowing easy conversion between rifle and pistol forms.
As you might expect, it can be quite a satisfying gun to shoot. Unfortunately, though, the use of CO2 as a propellant does come with drawbacks. The pressure that drives the gun is derived from liquid CO2 in the cartridge transitioning to gas. The rate at which this conversion occurs is influenced by temperature: the lower the temperature the slower the output pressure recovers.
It's not just ambient temperature that's a factor: CO2 is a refrigerant, so as it expands, the temperature of...

The suspect in the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Jesse Van Rootselaar, was raising alarms among employees at OpenAI months before the shooting took place. This past June, Jesse had conversations with ChatGPT involving descriptions of gun violence that triggered the chatbot's automated review system. Several employees raised concerns that her posts could be a precursor to real-world violence and encouraged company leaders to contact the authorities, but they ultimately declined.
OpenAI spokesperson Kayla Wood told The Verge that, while the company considered referring the account to law enforcement, it was ultimately deci …

Up to 11.5 million plastic particles can show up in a single liter of bottled water, at least in a small slice of samples tested by a team working near Lake Erie. That headline number comes from counting not just microplastics, but far smaller pieces called nanoplastics, which are under 1 micrometer. In this study, bottled water carried significantly higher particle counts than treated tap water, even though the tap water came from conventional treatment plants. The work also points at a quieter issue: many past surveys likely missed a large share of plastic contamination simply because they could not see particles this small. Graphical abstract.

Your project doesn’t necessarily have to be a refined masterpiece to have an impact on the global hacker hivemind. Case in point: this great demo of using a 64-point time-of-flight ranging sensor. [Henrique] took three modules, plugged them into a breadboard, and wrote some very interactive Python code that let him put them all through their paces. The result? I now absolutely want to set up a similar rig and expand on it.
That’s the power of a strong proof of concept, and maybe a nice video presentation of it in action. What in particular makes [Henrique]’s POC work is that he’s written the software to give him a number of sliders, switches, and interaction that let him tweak things in real time and...

Playing as a character named Smoke Wallace, who was bitten by a dragon that gave him the finger gun that can actually shoot bullets, you plummet toward the ground and try to pick off bad guys with that finger gun or by punching them up close.

[Oliver Pett] loves creating automata; pieces of art whose physicality and motion come together to deliver something unique. [Oliver] also has a mission, and that mission is to complete the most complex automata he has ever attempted: The Archer. This automaton is a fully articulated figure designed to draw arrows from a quiver, nock them in a bow, draw back, and fire — all with recognizable technique and believable motions. Shoot for the moon, we say!
He’s documenting the process of creating The Archer in a series of videos, the latest of which dives deep into just how intricate and complex of a challenge it truly is as he designs the intricate cams required.
