The Russian defence ministry said on Wednesday that its forces had taken full control of the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine, suggesting they had wrested control of a small sliver of land which had remained beyond their reach since 2022. Reuters could not independently verify the battlefield report and a Ukrainian military spokesman said there had been no battlefield changes in the area in the last six months. More than 99 per cent of Luhansk, one of four Ukrainian regions Russia claimed as...

It’s a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across. So every month, we highlight a handful of the best stories that nearly slipped through the cracks. March's list includes puzzle-solving raccoons; the physics of folding a crepe; the rediscovery of a lost page from an Archimedes manuscript; and the 2026 winner of the annual Dance Your PhD contest, among other highlights. Puzzle-solving raccoons Credit: Hannah Griebling/CC BY Raccoons (aka "trash pandas") are notorious pests in urban and suburban settings because of their penchant for rooting around trash and compost bins; even latches and other safeguards can't entirely keep them at bay. It might be more than food searching behavior, scientists at the University of British Columbia concluded. According to their paper published in the journal Animal Behavior, raccoons are not only nimble and dextrous with their paws, they also excel at solving puzzles, which might be why they thrive so well in human-centric environments.

Visa 公司警告称，虽然人工智能在检测欺诈模式方面发挥着关键作用，但单靠技术已不足以跟上犯罪分子不断演变的手段。这家支付巨头表示，诈骗者越来越多地利用生成式AI制作高度逼真的深度伪造、虚假身份及社交工程骗局，传统基于规则的系统难以有效捕捉。 Visa在其最新诈骗趋势报告中指出，金融机构需要结合AI驱动的实时监控、更强大的身份验证流程以及跨行业的威胁情报共享。该公司强调，消费者教育也同样重要，因为...
Visa 公司警告称，虽然人工智能在检测欺诈模式方面发挥着关键作用，但单靠技术已不足以跟上犯罪分子不断演变的手段。这家支付巨头表示，诈骗者越来越多地利用生成式AI制作高度逼真的深度伪造、虚假身份及社交工程骗局，传统基于规则的系统难以有效捕捉。 Visa在其最新诈骗趋势报告中指出，金融机构需要结合AI驱动的实时监控、更强大的身份验证流程以及跨行业的威胁情报共享。该公司强调，消费者教育也同样重要，因为许多新型诈骗利用的是人为因素，而非直接攻破技术防线。 报告还指出，授权推送支付诈骗和投资骗局正在显著增长，犯罪分子利用AI生成个性化诱饵，以绕过传统的交易监控机制。Visa建议发卡机构和收单机构加强合作，在资金离开账户前实现更快速的干预。 该公司全球风险与身份验证负责人表示，打击AI驱动的诈骗需要行业协同应对，单凭任何单一工具或机构都无法解决这一日益严峻的挑战。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Dilok Klaisataporn Recession odds on prediction market Kalshi have plummeted 26.6% in just one week, with investors betting the probability of an economic downturn down 26% on Wednesday alone, following a string of better-than-expected economic data. However, despite the recent optimism, recession chances remain elevated at 26.6% compared to a month ago, reflecting ongoing uncertainty about the broader economic trajectory. Recession odds (Kalshi) The U.S. manufacturing sector showed continued resilience in March, with the ISM Manufacturing PMI expanding to 52.7, exceeding both the 52.3 consensus forecast and the prior reading of 52.4, according to data from the Institute for Supply Management. The New Orders Index also expanded for the third consecutive month, marking 17 straight months of overall economic expansion. In addition, consumer spending proved robust in February, with retail sales climbing 0.6% month-over-month to $738.4 billion, according to advance data from the U.S. Census Bureau—well above the 0.4% consensus and reversing January’s 0.1% decline. Core retail sales, excluding motor vehicles and parts, jumped 0.5% against expectations of just 0.3%. David Russell, global head of market strategy at TradeStation, attributed the strength partly to tax refunds, stating, “The consumer was healthy going into the oil spike. It’s a positive for GDP, suggesting rate cuts aren’t needed.” Moreover, private sector employment exceeded expectations in March, growing by 62,000 jobs compared to the consensus forecast of 40,000, according to ADP’s National Employment Report. The education and health services sector led the gains, adding 58,000 positions.
