Dartmouth and Lancaster researchers tie 88 non-consensual deepfake sites to five mainstream web providers led by Cloudflare, Google and Namecheap. The sites surfaced in keyword searches and every provider already bans illegal use, so the gap the study points to is enforcement.

Claudie Beaulieu's team fit statistical models at every grid point of 55 years of surface temperature data and found warming speedups arriving in separate regional waves, the most recent in midlatitudes such as southeast China.

A Lancaster-led team re-ran a decade of land-use change in two Amazonian regions and found that stopping logging and fire bought the most bird and tree diversity for the money. Net gains needed two interventions at once.
Reality
The railway line in the story did not open until 1846, so a team led by Lancaster University went back to timetables, newspapers and magnetic records and moved the 16-minute delay to 18 October 1848.
Reality
A Lancaster-led study of 1981 to 2023 finds extreme dry-season heat rising at least 0.75 C a decade across a tenth of the Amazon, with the fastest growth in the central north, a region that average-temperature trends had ranked behind the south.
Reality
A Sentinel-1 radar pass caught the Aug. 4 break at Greenland's Petermann Glacier a day early. The two rifts still holding cover about 2.3 times the area that just left.
