Armed robots are now battling on Ukraine’s front line. What comes next is even stranger | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Russian soldiers never heard the robots that killed them. The five-man infiltration squad had snuck into Ukraine and taken up position in a few small buildings north of Dobropillya, in Donetsk Oblast. They were behind enemy lines and confident that Ukraine’s forces were unaware of their presence. If the Ukrainians did know they were close by, there would be a counterattack, which would be announced by small arms fire from nearby troops. But no troops were needed to neutralise the threat they
These are the best exercises for improving your blood pressure, according to a doctor | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
High blood pressure is a major health concern, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney problems. As a GP, I’m often asked how to manage it, and my advice always includes exercise. But how much is enough? A 2021 study followed over 5,000 adults for 30 years, shedding light on the ideal ‘dose’ of exercise for blood pressure control. The key takeaway? It’s not just about the type or intensity of exercise, it’s the total amount that matters. The research suggests that aiming for 30 m
‘Surprisingly sophisticated’: Experts discover a common houseplant can count | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can plants enumerate 1 to 10 on their root tendrils? No. But scientists say certain plants can ‘count’ and even do simple maths because they possess uncanny abilities to keep tabs on insect invaders and their own food stores. Venus flytraps, for example, famously snap their leaves shut when they sense a bug, or something else, moving on them. But they only do this if whatever it is moves twice within about 15–20 seconds. The movements are sensed by fine ‘trigger’ hairs on the leaves and translat
How to actually become more attractive, according to science | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you want to be as attractive as Tom Cruise or Taylor Swift, cancel the glamorous makeover and focus instead on your behaviour. Fans and interviewers alike have described their remarkable charisma. Chatty, smiley and responsive, it's as if Cruise and Swift are truly interested and fully present in every social setting they’re in. This chimes with the psychological literature. Looks can, of course, be a magnet at first, but the more you interact with someone and get to know them, the more it’s
A secret Stonehenge under Lake Michigan is baffling archaeologists | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stone circles are the stuff of ancient rituals and druid mythology. While many of us are most familiar with the stone circle at Stonehenge near Amesbury, England, which dates back to about 2500 BC (4,525 years ago), there are numerous examples of ‘menhirs’ (standing stones) and ancient stone arrangements worldwide. Some of these stone monuments are even older than Stonehenge. Northern Japan’s Ōyu Stone Circles, discovered in 1931, for instance, date back some 3,500 years, while there are Aborigi
