Drinking Fountains In This Region In Bulgaria Have Rich Cultural Significance - Here's Why
Many historic drinking fountains were built centuries ago, before households had plumbing. In parts of Bulgaria, people attach sentimental and cultural value to them.

Mathematicians Revive Discarded Particles to Boost Quantum Computing
A new mathematical approach has revived previously ignored particles, now called neglectons, and shown how they can work with Ising anyons. By filling in the missing functions of these quasiparticles, neglectons could overcome key limits in topological quantum computing and help build more stable, universal quantum computers in the future.

Texas Floods: Here's What To Consider When Sending Your Kids To Camp
Death and destruction at a venerable Texas summer camp might have parents wondering about the risks of sending their kids away to any camp, even if it's in a much different setting and less vulnerable to a natural disaster.

AI Reveals Mars’s Mysterious Slope Streaks Likely Formed by Dust, Not Water Activity
An AI-based study has found that Mars’s mysterious dark slope streaks are likely formed by dust and wind, not flowing water as long believed. Based on an analysis of over 86,000 satellite images, the findings challenge past theories and may help scientists focus future Mars missions on more promising areas in the search for ancient life.

Scientists Discover Heaviest Proton-Emitting Nucleus After Nearly 30 Years
Researchers at Finland’s University of Jyväskylä have identified astatine-188, the heaviest atomic nucleus yet known to undergo proton emission. This rare radioactive decay challenges established nuclear models and offers new insight into the structure and stability of exotic isotopes. The breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, marks...

New Study Uses Math to Decode Creativity and Idea Formation
A new study published in Nature Communications explores the mathematical foundations of creativity. Researchers introduced a model called Edge-Reinforced Random Walk with Triggering (ERRWT) to simulate how new ideas emerge by combining familiar elements. By analysing music habits, literature, and scientific papers, the study found that while discov...

1.95-Million-Year-Old Evidence of Hominin Activity Discovered in Romania
A discovery in Romania’s Grăunceanu site has unearthed evidence of hominin activity dating back approximately 1.95 million years, much earlier than previously believed. The find, including butchered animal remains with cut marks, reveals that early humans were adapting to temperate environments long before expected. This reshapes our understandi...

Arctic Ocean Likely to Experience Ice-Free Day by 2027, Study Warns
A study published in Nature Communications predicts the Arctic Ocean could face its first ice-free day as early as 2027, marking a critical environmental milestone. Conducted using 11 climate models and 366 simulations, the research highlights the urgent need for emission reductions. The loss of sea ice in the Arctic exacerbates global warming thro...
