Indonesian foragers may have sucked on mind-altering nuts 25,000 years ago, research finds
Researchers found evidence that Indonesian foragers may have sucked on psychoactive betel nuts as long as 25,000 years ago, marking potentially the earliest known human drug use.
Tiny nanolaser could cut computer energy use in half
Researchers at DTU have developed a nanolaser that could reduce computer energy consumption by roughly half by enabling microchips to communicate using light instead of electrical signals.
A mysterious signal around Earth could be dark matter
Researchers used Earth’s magnetic field as a giant dark matter detector, identifying mysterious signals that could potentially indicate ultralight axions or dark photons, though confirmation remains uncertain.
Carmarthen fossil hunter Dorothea Bate recognised with blue plaque
Dorothea Bate, a pioneering fossil hunter and one of the first women employed by the Natural History Museum, has been recognized with a blue plaque at the institution’s Tring location.
