A metal detectorist in Lelley, East Yorkshire, discovered the gold coin that dates back to about 50 to 10 BCE (during the Iron Age). According to David Duggleby Auctioneers in Scarborough, the coin is a variant of a Corieltauvi tribe gold stater. These types of coins were made by the Celtic Corieltauvi tribe that held much of the East Midlands, including all of present-day Lincolnshire, stretching north to one bank of…
Based on how the previous espresso shot performs, the interface recommends the next drink’s grind size. If the shot pulls too slow, it recommends a larger grind size. Too fast, and it recommends a smaller grind. Relying on this in the beginning was finicky and I had to pull quite a few bitter shots before I received a decent one, more than I expected when I was initially calibrating the Luxe to my beans. While it’s been fairly solid since, occasionally I’ll get an inconsistent shot and not know what changed. Those who like to get their coffee down to…

Then, a loud pop cuts through the silence. That’s hurting your knuckles, says the hater. No, it’s not, says the lover. Turns out, science says the knuckle cracker is right. Just like the myth that crossing your eyes will make them stay that way, warnings from parents, grandparents, and Great Aunt Mildred that cracking causes harm to knuckles remains an urban legend, says Dr. John Fernandez, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hands, wrists, and…
Last year delivered doses of drama and excitement in the space business, with a record number of launches, breathtaking vistas of other worlds, and a multitude of breakthroughs and setbacks. 2026 is shaping up to be another thrilling year in the cosmos.

NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other companies are poised to take major steps toward actually landing humans on the Moon, perhaps within a few years. New rockets are slated to debut…
Lego’s new Smart Play system, announced at CES earlier this week, is an embrace of digital technology the likes of which we haven’t seen from the company before. And while the demonstration it gave on Monday was a good start towards showing just what Lego’s Smart Brick is capable of, there’s no substitute for seeing it in person. Fortunately, an extended demo answered a lot of my questions on how the system will work once kids and adults get their hands on the first round of sets with Smart Play.As I detailed yesterday, the Smart Play system contains three elements.…

For a game that only officially (re)launched on December 4, that’s…it’s not good. It’s very, very bad. But developers 1047 Games are trying to put a positive spin on things. The game once known as Splitgate 2 has had a self-inflicted rough time. Originally launched June last year, the…

Can she read or is she just interested in what I am doing?” Some non-human animals have shown a surprising ability to understand symbols, although—as we shall see—scientists resist calling this reading. Symbol-savvy species Take bonobos, for example. At the Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative in Iowa, researchers have spent decades introducing…
