Des poissons zèbres ont aidé à révéler le mécanisme génétique de la restauration auditive, a rapporté le service de presse de l'institut Stowers de recherche médicale.

Des biologistes ont identifié des gènes contrôlant le processus de formation de nouvelles cellules de la ligne latérale, un organe sensoriel chez les poissons qui reconnaît les vibrations de l'environnement, provenant des mêmes cellules que l'oreille interne chez les mammifères.

🦈 Les plus grands requins de la Terre s'avèrent être des "mégaprédateurs omnivores"

Une équipe internationale de paléochimistes a étudié la composition isotopique des dents des requins mégalodons, les plus grands poissons prédateurs. Les chercheurs ont découvert des preuves que ces créatures se nourrissaient non seulement de grands cétacés, mais aussi de pratiquement toutes les proies, petites et grandes, rapporte le service de presse de l'université de Francfort.

A meteorite crash turned the Grand Canyon into a lake at the end of the Ice Age, reported the press service of the University of New Mexico.

According to the researchers, this lake formed because the meteorite impact generated powerful seismic vibrations.

The largest Martian meteorite was sold for a record-breaking sum of 5.3 million dollars at an auction in New York, announced the auction house Sotheby's.

As highlighted by the Washington Post, this is the most expensive meteorite in the world.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has attracted over 25 billion $ in 2025... despite a negative performance! It even pulled in more capital than the gold ETF GLD, which is up +65% for the year. Investors kept buying Bitcoin on the dip, showing impressive long-term conviction. So, do you stack more when the market dips?

Back in '66, during the World Cup, the official trophy got snatched in London just months before the tournament.
The cops were searching high and low, but nothing turned up, and the whole country was in a frenzy.
Then, a dude walking his dog in the park stumbled upon a suspicious package under a hedge.
Inside was the legendary Jules Rimet Trophy.
The real MVP of this story wasn't a detective... it was a dog named Pickles.
Thanks to him, the tournament went off without a hitch.
Since that day, Pickles became a full-on celebrity in England.

🇸🇦 THE MECCA METRO: A ONE-OF-A-KIND NETWORK IN THE WORLD

The Mecca Metro, also known as Al Mashaaer Al Muqaddassah, is a railway network located in the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

It’s the first metro system in the country.

An interesting fact: it only operates during Hajj, the major Muslim pilgrimage, which is about 7 days a year.

Its role is to shuttle millions of pilgrims between the holy sites, including: Mount Arafat, Muzdalifah, Mina.

Every year during Aïd el-Kébir, some families keep the sheep for several days before the celebration... to the point of naming it and getting attached.
In West Africa, it's not uncommon to see kids playing with the sheep in the yard, hand-feeding it, or even sleeping next to it. But the funniest part often happens on the morning of Tabaski: some kids burst into tears when the time for the sacrifice comes, after spending a week treating the animal like a new family member.

In several households, this has even led to an unspoken rule: "Never give a name to the sheep."

Yawning is so contagious that even reading or hearing about yawns can make you want to yawn… just like maybe right now.
Scientists believe this phenomenon is linked to empathy and the mirror neurons in our brain. The closer we are emotionally to someone, the more likely we are to yawn after them. Even more surprisingly, some dogs yawn when they see their owner yawn.

🇳🇴 Norway has rolled out a policy stating that dads are entitled to 14 weeks of parental leave to boost their engagement in parenting duties. This makes Norway the first country to implement mandatory paternity leave.

A Japanese climber ordered a pizza at the peak of Mount Fujiyama

The courier wasn't fazed and delivered the order for $962.

The level of service in Japan is on another level.

Back in 2009, identical twins got pinched for a 5 million euro jewelry heist in Germany. DNA evidence showed at least one of them was at the scene, but since it was impossible to pinpoint which twin was guilty, they both walked free.

The twins, known as Hassan and Abbas O, dodged legal troubles even though one or maybe both were involved in the jewelry lift.

On February 25, 2009, at dawn, three guys stormed into a luxury shop in Germany and snatched watches and jewelry worth 5 million euros.

The crew was caught on CCTV. One of them even left a glove behind.

Cops took DNA samples from the glove, but couldn’t figure out which brother did the dirty work or if both were in on it.

The guys never confessed either. The surveillance footage didn’t help much since the criminals were masked up.

In the end, the police let both brothers go, and the jewels are still MIA.

In 1998, Honduras unveiled the massive bridge over the Choluteca River, an engineering marvel built to withstand the fiercest hurricanes. A few months later, Hurricane Mitch hit the country, wrecking roads and infrastructure and dramatically altering the river's course.

Surprisingly, the bridge stood tall, perfectly intact, but it no longer overlooked the water: the river had carved out a new path, bypassing the unyielding structure.

Chinese engineers have developed a new fabric that can withstand temperatures up to 1200 °C without melting, burning, or shrinking, making it perfect for firefighters and other industrial workers.

THE WORLD CUP 2026 BALL IS… A COMPUTER.
The Trionda, the official ball of the World Cup 2026, needs to be charged before each match like a smartphone.
Inside, there's a chip sending 500 data points per second to VAR. Position, rotation, impact, contact… the ball "sees" everything.
And this isn't new: this tech already cut VAR analysis time by 70% in Qatar 2022. By 2026, the chip is now housed in a panel of the ball (not in the center anymore), with counterweights to keep perfect balance so players don't feel a thing.
Coupled with 12 cameras per stadium, the system detects offside by the millimeter.

A smile costs less than electricity, but gives as much light 😊✨
