Scientists in Switzerland made an astonishing 3,000-year-old find, discovering an arrowhead being kept in a museum was made out of “alien iron”. The weapon – made of meteorite – was found by researchers from the University of Bern at an ancient Bronze Age site by the name of Mörigen in Switzerland.
Geologists tested the material composition of the artefact, which was found to contain aluminium-26, which is an isotope commonly found in the solar system, but not naturally occurring on
Newly discovered antibodies could be the key to fighting off every strain of Covid.
Researchers have uncovered six new antibodies in the blood of patients who had survived Covid-19’s early ancestor, the SARS virus of 2002, who then also received a vaccination against the coronavirus in more recent years.
The most powerful, E7, was found to neutralize newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as Omicron XBB.1.16, which has caused a more than 14 percent spike in new US cases over the

A Covid variant seen in Indonesia might be the most mutated version of the virus ever recorded, scientists think.
The morphed version of Delta — collected from a patient swab in Jakarta — has 113 unique mutations.
Thirty-seven of the alterations affect the spike protein, which the coronavirus uses to latch onto humans.
For comparison, Omicron carries around 50 mutations.
Virus-trackers brandished the unnamed strain the ‘most extreme’ they’ve ever seen.
A new version of the Covid Delta variant collected
Losing your sense of smell could be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease — and memory and cognitive problems down the road.
This is the conclusion of researchers from Chicago who studied the olfactory capabilities of more than 850 people over the course of 15 years.
In particular, they focussed on the influence of a gene variant — known as APOE e4 — which is associated with the strongest risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
They found that, above the age of
Bodycam footage has been shown to a Wisconsin jury revealing the horrifying moment police found a man’s decapitated head in a bucket.
Taylor Denise Schabusiness, 25, is on trial for the murder and mutilation of her 25-year-old lover Shad Thyrion, who was killed and dismembered in his mother’s basement in February 2022.
Authorities say she strangled Thyrion at the Green Bay home he shared with his mother, sexually abused him and dismembered his body, leaving parts of it throughout the

For us mere mortals, the prospect of cycling 124 miles (200km) in one day is challenge enough.
But the Tour de France’s world-class cyclists are forced to cover hundreds of miles of ground – much of it steep and unforgiving alpine terrain – almost every day for three weeks.
The physical fitness and mental toughness required to even attempt such a feat is almost incomprehensible for anyone whose body and mind has not been fortified by years of dedicated training.
Scientists have found perhaps the most promising indication yet that life does exist on Enceladus, Saturn’s sixth-largest moon.
Data gathered by NASA’s retired Cassini spacecraft reveals the presence of phosphates – a key element for the existence of life – on the moon.
Crucially, the phosphates are not trapped in rocky minerals but dissolved in the moon’s liquid water ocean as salt, the scientists say.
It’s already known that Enceladus has long, snake-like fractures on its icy surface that eject
