Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images It goes without saying that the late Leonard Nimoy’s most famous role is Spock, the lovably logical Vulcan first officer in “Star Trek: The Original series” and beyond. He retired the Spock ears following the final original series crew film “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country,” with Nimoy and DeForest Kelley both turning down appearances in “Star Trek Generations.” Nimoy instead used his distinctive baritone to focus mostly on voice work in the 1990s and into the 2000s. While that primarily meant narration in documentaries and…

In a remote cave in southern Italy, sealed off for over 130,000 years, scientists have uncovered evidence that could upend long-standing beliefs about how Neanderthals adapted to Ice Age Europe. For decades, researchers argued these extinct humans evolved large, broad noses as a physiological response to frigid, dry climates. A new study challenges that claim at its anatomical core. The discovery centers on Altamura Man, a remarkably preserved Neanderthal skeleton embedded in calcite deep inside Lamalunga Cave. The thick mineral crust protected the fossil’s delicate features, including internal nasal structures never before found intact in any other Neanderthal skull. Using…

In a major development, the Bihar police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against an Islamist named Karishma Aziz for inciting Nepal-like Gen-Z protests in the State in the aftermath of the Vidhan Sabha election. Aziz, who earlier celebrated death and destruction caused by a cloudburst in Devbhoomi Uttarkhanad, had posted a tweet on 16th November wishing chaos and anarchy in the streets of Bihar. She wrote, “What is this happening in Bihar?” The tweet was accompanied by a fake video alleging violent, youth-led protests in the State of Bihar after the election results. Screengrab of the now-deleted tweet…

A team of researchers from Imperial College London has pinpointed the exact moment when the brain “falls” asleep, marking a sharp drop in brain activity just before sleep sets in. This discovery could improve treatments for sleep disorders and have significant implications for public safety, particularly in high-risk situations like driving. Until now, sleep was often thought to be a slow transition, much like drifting into a dream. However, according to neuroscientist Nir Grossman, who led the research, the change from wakefulness to sleep happens suddenly, much like falling off a cliff. Using EEG monitoring, the researchers observed a distinct…

As the political row over the Election Commission (EC)’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal intensifies, the ruling Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) has kept its focus on the forthcoming Assembly elections due in March-April 2026.The TMC has been engaged in a balancing act between taking control of the narrative over the SIR and reaching out to the affected voters. The party has maintained that the Matua community (Scheduled Caste), whose roots are primarily in Bangladesh, has been “most affected” by the SIR exercise across Bengal, mainly in bordering districts. It has also highlighted the SIR’s…

The research, part of the long-running Framingham Heart Study, reveals the powerful link between staying active and maintaining cognitive health, especially for those over 45, even for those with a genetic predisposition to dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, making it a key focus of ongoing research. While the link between exercise and improved cognitive health has long been suspected, the timing and effectiveness of physical activity throughout a person’s life remained uncertain. The new study offers a clearer picture, suggesting that midlife and late-life exercise may be particularly protective. A Comprehensive Study with Real-World Implications The study, published in JAMA…

New Delhi: The Donald Trump-Zohran Mamdani meeting received fulsome praise from Congress leader Shashi Tharoor Friday, and the Thiruvanthapuram MP’s remarks got a stamp of approval from the BJP, with a barb at Rahul Gandhi.“This is how democracy should work,” Tharoor wrote about the much-anticipated Oval Office interaction between the US President and Indian-origin New York City mayor-elect, in a post on X. “Fight passionately for your point of view in elections, with no rhetorical holds barred. But once it’s over, and the people have spoken, learn to cooperate with each other in the common interests of the nation you…
