AI won’t ever make a historically accurate film—but it could help archaeology create better stories

Tech billionaire Elon Musk was up in arms about the recent adaptation of Homer's "Odyssey" by director Christopher Nolan, which he heavily criticized for its diverse casting and accused of lacking historical accuracy. Claiming he wanted to show that artificial intelligence could bypass traditional Hollywood studios and deliver a story "historically accurate and true to the art of Homer" at a fraction of the cost, he set his AI Grok Imagine to the task.

Redefining honesty in a crisis: Why truth alone is not enough

When a company suffers a cyberattack, leaks customer data or faces a major public scandal, telling the truth is essential. But new research suggests it is not enough on its own: organizations also need to communicate early, treat people with respect and show how they intend to put things right.

‘Mega heat waves’ strengthened by interaction between soil moisture, atmospheric pressure and temperature

A new study has found that a self-reinforcing interaction between temperature, soil moisture and atmospheric pressure is being triggered at high temperatures, making extreme heat waves 10% hotter than they would otherwise be. The study was published in Science Advances and led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).

Scientists just found dinosaur blood that survived 115 million years

Scientists have discovered chemically confirmed traces of ancient blood inside 115-million-year-old dinosaur bones, challenging assumptions about how long biological molecules can survive. The extraordinary preservation could unlock new clues about dinosaur physiology and even help scientists search for ancient life elsewhere in the universe.

Major trial challenges how doctors decide who really needs statins

A study of nearly 5,800 adults found that heart scans measuring calcium buildup in the arteries led to the same observed rate of major cardiovascular events as traditional risk assessments, despite recommending statins to far fewer patients. Surprisingly, patients advised to take statins based on their scans were nearly three times as likely to stick with their medication, raising intriguing questions about how doctors should identify and treat heart disease risk.

Five-inch-long beetle larvae are quietly destroying blueberry roots

Scientists have solved a mystery surrounding destructive beetles attacking blueberry bushes in North Carolina, identifying a species whose massive larvae can grow up to five inches long and destroy plant roots. Although farmers have reported damage for more than a decade, the insects responsible remained unidentified until researchers used DNA analysis to uncover the culprit.

NASA’s Swift telescope falls to Earth after nearly 22 years in space

After nearly 22 years of exploring the universe’s most violent explosions, NASA’s Swift Observatory has re-entered Earth’s atmosphere over Indonesia. Originally designed to last just two years, the pioneering space telescope transformed our understanding of black holes, exploding stars, and mysterious cosmic outbursts.
