Archaeologists say they have strong evidence that a vast circle of giant pits near Stonehenge was deliberately dug by Neolithic people, ending years of debate over whether the features were natural. The structure, known as the Durrington pit circle, is thought to consist of around 20 massive pits spread over more than a mile, with sites such as Durrington Walls and Woodhenge at its centre. Some pits measure up to 10 metres wide and 5 metres deep, suggesting significant planning and engineering skill. To avoid large-scale excavation, researchers used a combination of advanced techniques, including ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry, electrical resistance…
Under the bright lights of a Delhi operating theatre, a woman lies still as surgeons prepare to remove her gallbladder. She sleeps under general anaesthesia, her body paralysed and her mind unconscious. Yet soft flute music flows through headphones resting over her ears. Even as anaesthetic drugs quiet most of her brain, her auditory pathways remain active. When she awakens, she recovers faster and clearer because she required lower doses of propofol and opioid painkillers than patients who heard no music. Researchers from Maulana Azad Medical College and Lok Nayak Hospital show that music can reduce drug use and improve…
Human Brain Has Five Distinct ‘Eras’, With True Adulthood Beginning in the Early 30s, Scientists Say
Scientists have identified five major phases of human brain development, with four key turning points occurring at around ages nine, 32, 66 and 83, according to a large study of nearly 4,000 brain scans from infancy to old age. The research found that the brain moves through clear “epochs” rather than developing in a smooth, continuous way: The biggest structural shift happens around age 32, when the brain enters its most stable, adult-like stage. Researchers believe these transitions may help explain patterns in mental health, cognitive performance and age-related decline. The findings suggest brain development is shaped by major turning…

New tool uncovers unexpected account origins X’s location feature has exposed political accounts with large audiences operating outside the US. Users discovered pro-Trump accounts posting about US politics while based abroad. Some anti-Trump accounts also misrepresented their locations. Their posts generated millions of impressions, which can lead to payouts from X. X maintains confidence in its data The “about this account” tab shows location on every profile.

Idrissa Gueye was applauded by his Everton teammates after apologising for being sent off for striking Michael Keane during Monday’s 1-0 win at Manchester United. The midfielder was shown a red card after slapping Keane following a heated exchange sparked by Gueye’s misplaced pass that almost led to a Bruno Fernandes chance. It marked the first time in 17 years a Premier League player had been dismissed for striking a teammate. After the match, Gueye addressed the squad and personally apologised to Keane, also saying sorry to the team for leaving them to play with 10 men for most of…

U.S. inbound tourism is set for a strong rebound in 2026 after a decline in 2025. Tourism experts say international visitors will return in higher numbers. The recovery is expected to be driven by major events and growing global interest in U.S. travel. Two of the biggest attractions are the FIFA World Cup and America’s 250th anniversary. Both events are likely to draw millions of visitors. The decline in 2025 had slowed growth for hotels, airlines, and attractions. Travel economists point to global economic pressures and lingering travel restrictions as factors. International arrivals were lower than expected. Visitors from Europe,…
A year after his first warning Ruben Amorim issued another strong warning about high expectations. Manchester United won 4–0 in this fixture last season, yet he predicted trouble ahead. One year later, the same weaknesses resurfaced. A heated clash between Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane defined the early action. United spent 77 minutes against ten men but failed to convert that advantage into control. United fail to use their numerical advantage Amorim watched his players struggle at critical moments. Patrick Dorgu and Leny Yoro lost possession under no pressure as Everton gained momentum. Amad Diallo made poor choices while replacing…
People who stop using the weight-loss injection Mounjaro (tirzepatide) not only tend to regain weight but also lose key health improvements, including better blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar control, according to new research. The findings come from the Surmount-4 clinical trial, in which participants with obesity or weight-related health problems first took tirzepatide for 36 weeks alongside diet and exercise support. Those who had lost at least 10% of their body weight were then split into two groups: one continued the drug for another year, while the other switched to a placebo without knowing which they were receiving. Among…
