Dogs are often referred to as 'man's best friend' - but a new study suggests that some owners might need to rethink this nickname for their pet. Researchers from Eötvös Loránd University surveyed 800 dog owners and found that they all fit into three distinct categories. So, what kind of dog owner are you?
Bizarre 'cloud glaciation' weather phenomenon could explain why people who live near factories are more likely to see SNOW this winter
If you live near a factory or industrial site you're more likely to see snowfall this winter, according to a study. Researchers have discovered that industrial pollution can cause liquid clouds to turn into ice clouds when it is cold. This process, known as cloud glaciation, happens when tiny air pollution particles trigger cloud drops to change into ice crystals and fall as snow.

Every year, around 80 unprovoked shark attacks are reported worldwide - including several that prove fatal. But the days of avoiding the water could finally be a thing of the past, as scientists from Macquarie University have found a surprisingly simple method to avoid shark attacks. Scientists say that attaching LED lights to you or your surfboard can create an 'invisibility cloak' which prevents sharks from attacking.

Declassified US spy satellite images reveal historic battlefield that ended in a bloodbath 1,400 years ago
Images snapped of Iraq by US spy satellites in the 1970s have revealed the site of a historic battle that occurred more than 1,4000 years ago. The war ended with more than 30,000 soldiers dead. The team compared the imagery with historical text of the Battle of al-Qadisiyah, finding the location in about 20 miles south of Kufa in the Najaf Governorate.
The world has ALREADY exceeded the critical 1.5°C warming threshold, study warns - and scientists say time is running out to curb climate change
Time may be running out to curb climate change, scientists have warned - as new data reveals that the critical 1.5°C threshold has already been reached. A new study has found that humans' contribution to global warming was 1.49°C in 2023 and has now exceeded the limits of the Paris Agreement. Most measurements for human-caused climate change use the mid-1800s as the benchmark for the 'pre-industrial' period. However, using a novel method looking at gases trapped in ancient ice (top right), researchers from Leeds and Lancaster Universities have pushed the benchmark time back to the 1700s. Measuring from this period produces estimates for the human contribution to climate change which are 30 per cent higher than standard models.
EXCLUSIVEThe world's most advanced fighter pilot helmet: Futuristic Striker II device uses AR to project critical information in front of pilots' eyes - and can spot enemy aircraft from hundreds of miles away

Even elephants like playing pranks! Watch the hilarious moment an animal turns off the water while its friend tries to take a shower
Whether it's a stapler in jello or a classic whoopee cushion, many of us enjoy playing cheeky pranks on our friends. And a new study shows that we're not alone. Zookeepers at Berlin Zoo were amazed to witness an Asian elephant pranking its friend. The elephant, called Anchali, sabotaged her friend Mary's shower by lifting and kinking the hose to disrupt the flow of water.
The mystery of King Arthur's Hall: Cornish monument is 4,000 years OLDER than we thought - but scientists still have no idea what its original purpose was
In legend, King Arthur and his knights ruled England more than 1,000 years ago before vanishing from history. Now, archaeologists have found that the mysterious site known as King Arthur's Hall is 4,000 years older than previously thought. King Arthur's Hall in Bodmin, Cornwall was once considered to be nothing more than a simple medieval animal pen. However, a team of researchers have now revealed that the site actually dates back to the early Neolithic period 5,500 years ago. This means the strange stone structure could be even older than Stonehenge and predates the legend of Arthur by thousands of years.
Expert reveals the best way to banish wrinkles - and it's NOT retinol
It's the skincare staple most women have in their beauty kit.

Shark Ninja - best known for vacuum cleaners and air fryers - has invented a £270 therapy mask that it claims to be the best way to banish wrinkles.
Britain is gripped by 'anticyclonic gloom': Weather phenomenon of fog and grey clouds means the sun could be blotted out for another 10 days
Britain is in the grip of 'anticyclonic gloom' with the weather having been stuck in a rut of mist, fog and low cloud for weeks - and no sunshine on the horizon. Much of England and Wales has had no meaningful rainfall apart from some drizzle since October 28, although Scotland last saw downpours over the weekend. And the last day with widespread sunshine across the UK was October 27, although a few weather stations recorded several hours of brightness on Halloween. The country's weather is being dominated by high pressure, or an anticyclone, which has been blocking fronts bringing rain and resulting in an extended dry spell. While such a setup often leads to warm and sunny days with light winds in the summer months, they can result in 'anticyclonic gloom' in autumn and winter. The Met Office has confirmed Britain is under such a phenomenon this week, with the high pressure trapping an area of moisture near the earth's surface. Low cloud, mist and fog are then formed by this moisture, which cannot lift and clear because the sunshine and the winds are light - giving the dull conditions.
Talk about striking gold! Metal detectorist makes the 'discovery of a lifetime' after unearthing a nugget of gold shaped like Britain

What your JOB says about you: Take the test to see if your career reflects your personality - as scientists say the stereotypes about estate agents, actors, and accountants are TRUE
If you were asked to envisage an actor, a neurotic person might spring to mind, while the thought of an salesperson may conjure up someone who is chatty and extraverted. While some consider these lazy stereotypes, a comprehensive new study suggests that such common assumptions are actually true. Using data from 68,540 people, researchers have identified the personality traits that typify more than 260 job roles. They found that actors, journalists, town planners, authors and graphic designers are among those that tend to be more neurotic. Meanwhile, PR managers, marketers, psychologists, dental assistants and film directors are generally more extraverted.

Despite their worldwide fame, scientists are still spotting new details in his works.
Mount Fuji is SNOWLESS - marking the latest date Japan's mountain has been bare since records began 130 years ago
Each year, the majestic view of Mt Fuji's snow-capped peak (pictured top right) draws hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world. But many visitors will be in for a disappointment this year as Japan's highest peak is still snowless almost a month later than expected. As of this Monday, there was no snow on Mt Fuji's peak (pictured left) - marking the latest date that the mountain has been bare since records began 130 years ago. This beats the previous record of October 26 which occurred once in 1995 and again in 2016.
Alexander the Great's lost TUNIC is found after 2,300 years
The revered ceremonial garment was uncovered in one of three tombs at Vergina in northern Greece. However, it was not found in the tomb of Alexander the Great himself, but rather his half-brother, Philip III of Macedon. Experts say Philip III inherited the tunic after Alexander the Great's death in 323 BC at the age of 32. Remains of the tunic are pictured along with an artistic record of him wearing it. Unfortunately, the resting place of Alexander the Great himself still remains a mystery. It's generally agreed that he was originally buried in Egypt, but it is thought his body was moved to prevent looting.
