Shackleton's last ship found draped in fishing nets and teeming with life

Ernest Shackleton's ship "Quest," discovered in 2024 off northeastern Canada, has been photographed up close for the first time, revealing a hull covered in discarded fishing gear and colonised by corals, anemones and fish. The vessel sank decades ago and commercial fishing above the wreck left behind significant debris. The site now serves as an artificial reef teeming with marine life.

Should the Quest wreck be cleaned of discarded fishing gear?

Bellingham handed penalty to Saka to complete hat-trick at World Cup third-place match

Jude Bellingham, coming off the bench in the World Cup third-place match, was set to take a penalty but chose to hand the ball to Bukayo Saka, giving him the chance to complete a hat-trick. The gesture was widely praised as a fine example of sportsmanship and team spirit.

Was Bellingham right to give up the penalty so Saka could complete his hat-trick?

Exoplanet LHS 1140 b confirmed to have atmosphere in habitable zone โ€“ most Earth-like world found yet

Scientists have confirmed the existence of an atmosphere around the rocky exoplanet LHS 1140 b, which orbits within the habitable zone of its star. This makes it the first object outside our Solar System observed to meet both key conditions for potential life. The discovery is considered a breakthrough, as LHS 1140 b is the most Earth-like exoplanet ever found.

Does the discovery of LHS 1140 b prove that life beyond Earth exists?

Italy's โ‚ฌ1 homes: hidden costs and bureaucracy make the dream more expensive than it seems

Italy's programme selling homes for a symbolic โ‚ฌ1 attracts buyers from around the world, but the reality is far more costly than it appears. Purchasing the property is just the beginning โ€” owners face substantial renovation expenses, complex bureaucratic hurdles and new legal obligations. Experts warn that the total costs can run into tens of thousands of euros.

Is buying a โ‚ฌ1 home in Italy a good investment despite the hidden costs?

AI model builds fully consistent languages from scratch, inspired by Tolkien

A team led by Morris Alper at the University of Miami has developed an AI system that constructs new languages step by step โ€” from phonetics and word formation through to syntax. The system repurposes the structural knowledge large language models gain from natural language training to generate entirely new, internally consistent languages.

Should AI be used to create new languages instead of linguists?

Creatine boosts performance and memory โ€” not just for athletes

Creatine is one of the most popular supplements among physically active people, but research suggests its benefits extend beyond sport โ€” it also supports cognitive function and may be useful for older adults. Regular creatine intake aids muscle recovery, strength and endurance, and its use is considered safe at recommended doses.

Should creatine be recommended to older adults, not just athletes?

Experts warn Putin has a "gambler's mentality" and may strike NATO

In the "Bez Doktryny" podcast, analysts Marek Magierowski and Zbigniew Parafianowicz discuss whether Putin would risk a direct confrontation with NATO. They describe the Russian leader as having a "gambler's mentality" capable of irrational risk-taking despite Russia lacking adequate military resources. The analysts also explore scenarios of Russia without Putin and the Kremlin's plan to use controlled escalation to rehabilitate its image.

Will Putin risk a direct confrontation with NATO?

EU ban on destroying unsold clothes in force, but Poland has no enforcement penalties yet

The EU ban on destroying unsold clothing has entered into force, but Poland has yet to pass national implementing legislation that would include penalties for violations. The Ministry of Development insists businesses must comply with the new EU rules even in the absence of domestic sanctions. The situation raises questions about the effective enforceability of the law in Poland.

Will the lack of national penalties undermine the EU ban on destroying unsold clothes?

Hailstorm halts Bad Bunny concert in Milan

A severe hailstorm struck Milan on Saturday evening, forcing organisers to halt a concert by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny. Some concertgoers were injured during the event, and all attendees were evacuated. It is the latest weather incident to disrupt a major music event in Europe.

Should outdoor concert organisers be required to have mandatory bad-weather evacuation plans?

Entomologist Dino Martins champions parasites: even gruesome creatures have vital roles

Award-winning entomologist and evolutionary biologist Dino Martins, known for his pollinator research, has written a new book defending parasites and other gruesome creatures. Raised in biodiversity-rich western Kenya, Martins was fascinated from childhood by dung beetles, safari ants and bees pollinating endangered African violets. His book argues that even the most repulsive organisms play vital roles in nature.

Should parasite conservation be part of mainstream wildlife protection policy?

Zcash's new Zakura node targets Visa-scale 50,000 transactions per second

The Zcash project has launched a new node client called Zakura, designed to push the network's throughput from roughly one private transaction per second to 50,000 per second โ€“ comparable to Visa's payment network. It is the first live component of a broader roadmap to scale Zcash to payment-network size. The goal is to deliver mass-scale transaction privacy.

Does Zcash have a real chance of becoming a viable alternative to Visa?

Moro Soup: The Early 20th-Century Recipe That Saved Children's Lives

In the early 20th century, Austrian paediatrician Ernst Moro developed a simple carrot soup that effectively combated diarrhoea in young children. At the time, diarrhoea was a leading cause of infant death due to rapid dehydration. Moro's soup helped significantly reduce child mortality rates.

Are home remedies for children's diarrhoea as effective as medication?

The car impresses with its driving dynamics and character, standing out in the crowded C-segment.

Olomouc: the city where a king of Bohemia and Poland was murdered

Olomouc is a Moravian city with a remarkable history โ€” it was the site of the murder of a king of Bohemia and Poland, and its prison once held both Lafayette and Hugo Koล‚ล‚ฤ…taj. The city served for centuries as a cultural and political centre of the region, with surprising ties to broader European history.

Does Olomouc deserve more attention from Polish tourists?

Victoria to force platforms to unmask anonymous accounts accused of vilification

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan announced new laws that would give the state tribunal VCAT the power to order social media and AI platforms to identify anonymous users accused of online vilification. The reforms are aimed at protecting children and families from online abuse. This forms part of a broader package of social media reforms in Australia.

Should social media platforms be required to unmask anonymous users accused of vilification?
