Clay ornaments created 15,000 years ago show that symbolic expression began before agriculture. Evidence suggests both children and adults participated, highlighting early social and cultural development. Long before pottery or farming emerged, and even before the first villages formed, people in the Levant were already shaping clay by hand. They did so with care and […]

A fossil harvestman identified using advanced imaging techniques shows that extinct arachnid lineages once lived in Europe. The discovery expands the known diversity of amber-preserved species in the region. A team of researchers from Germany and Bulgaria, led by SNSB paleontologist Christian Bartel, has identified a previously unknown species of harvestman preserved in 35-million-year-old amber […]

As generative AI becomes more embedded in everyday thinking, its role extends beyond producing information to actively shaping how people interpret reality. When generative AI systems produce false information, this is often described as AI “hallucinating at us”—producing errors that people may mistakenly accept as true. A new study, however, suggests a more complex issue: […]

A strange giant planet orbiting a small star is forcing astronomers to rethink how planetary systems form. Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have taken a closer look at TOI-5205 b, a strange exoplanet often labeled “forbidden,” and found something unexpected. Its atmosphere appears to be unusually poor in heavy elements compared to […]

A new study reveals an unexpected mechanism behind how humans develop sharp, color-rich vision before birth, pointing to a coordinated role between key biochemical signals in the retina. Humans begin developing sharp vision before birth through a coordinated interaction between a vitamin A–derived molecule and thyroid hormones in the retina, according to scientists at Johns […]
