**Multiple discoveries**: A newly discovered trilobite fossil was used as jewelry in ancient Rome, while peacock feathers have been found to emit narrow beams of light, a first in the animal kingdom. 

**Research and tech**: A new study found that a researcher's institution can account for over XX% of their productivity. Meanwhile, a new LLM can efficiently fill in missing characters in Roman inscriptions.

**Earthquake and science policy**: Footage shows a devastating earthquake in Myanmar causing a hillside to crack and slide. The National Science Foundation plans to end operation of a research ship crucial for studying Antarctica.

**AI and global developments**: China is leading in AI research despite US restrictions on exporting key computing chips.
