General Grievous would and probably should be the last of all the things that your baby could look like in an ultrasound. But then, the body’s machinations hardly ever take convenience into account. These parents recently realized that their baby’s ultrasound reminds them of the sinister robotic villain in the Star Wars…

As they pound away, sharp flakes sometimes fly off from their hammer stones—flakes that are “almost indistinguishable” from stone tools made by early human relatives more than 3 million years ago, according to a controversial new study. Indeed, the researchers argue, the monkeys’ flakes are so similar to our ancestors’ tools that many…

Amorphous ice has been known before, but not at this middle ground for density. The researcher’s findings were published this week in Science.“We know of 20 crystalline forms of ice, but only two…

Somewhat mystifyingly, some top-secret algorithmic function in DreamWorks Animation’s audience-reaction data analysis software has decreed that yet another comeback is in order for the sort of OK-ish and meh-plus character of Puss in Boots, smokily voiced by Antonio Banderas, originally seen in 2004 in Shrek 2, and then in the 2010 spinoff feature Puss in Boots.
