Invading parasitic ant queens trick ant workers from different colonies into killing and dismembering their own mother, so the invader can step in and take the throne, according to a new study.The parasite appears to infiltrate the colony then sprays the reigning queen with formic acid.”The queen’s odour is wiped out by the formic acid, and in an instant the individual whom workers most urgently protect turns into a vicious menace. For the host queen and for the workers alike, it is nothing but a nightmare,” study lead author Keizo Takasuka, a biologist at Kyushu University in Japan, told Live…

The Gulf of Suez, which partially divides Africa and Asia, may still be widening, researchers have discovered.Beginning about 28 million years ago, the Arabian tectonic plate pulled away from the African plate, opening up today’s Gulf of Suez. This kind of rift is how new oceans are born — but about 5 million years ago, the rifting stopped, and Suez stayed a gulf, not an ocean.That’s the conventional story, anyway. But new research suggests that the Suez rift never stopped rifting. Instead, it simply slowed down. A new paper published Nov. 3 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters has revealed…
I don’t know what’s in the air today, but pretty much every single decent Samsung tablet is massively discounted all of a sudden ahead of the holidays. No one’s complaining, of course, especially when something like the super-premium Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra can be had at a whopping $400 off its list price with no strings attached.This early (and ultra-enticing) Black Friday 2025 deal is available at both Best Buy and Samsung’s official US e-store, but while the former retailer only has an entry-level 256GB storage variant in a Moonstone Gray colorway in stock at a $400 discount, the device…
In October 2024, Bungie was sued for copyright infringement by a fantasy author called Kelsey Martineau. He alleged that Destiny 2‘s opening campaign had heavily lifted from his own work that he’d previously published on his blog, complete with a Red Legion embroiled in an “unending cycle of warfare.” The infringing storyline, however, had since been “vaulted” by Bungie, meaning it’s been entirely removed from the game. Now, as The Game Post points out today (thanks PC Gamer), Bungie and Martineau have settled the case and it will no longer go to trial. Martineau, who posted his stories under the name…
