As Japan kills off the floppy disk, MailOnline reveals the retro (but beloved!) tech devices that baffle the kids of today
After more than 50 years since the first one was made, Japan has officially killed off the iconic floppy disk. Amazingly, despite leading the world in groundbreaking hardware, Japan still required its citizens to submit documents stored on floppy disks through the post. In honour of this beloved relic, MailOnline reveals the retro tech that older generations still have trouble saying goodbye to - while baffling the kids of today.
Incredible first-of-its kind video of an embryo forming - which scientists hope will solve medical mysteries
For the first time ever, scientists have recorded real-time video of an early stage embryo forming the 'neural tube' that will grow to become its brain, spinal cord and heart. The team used an innovative technique in which a reflective fluorescent protein illuminated the early embryo's tiny cellular actin cytoskeleton. 'Our aim is to find proteins or genes that can be targeted in the future or used for screening for congenital birth defects,' the study's lead author said
Major US cities could be 'inundated' by floods of raw SEWAGE, study reveals - is your town at risk?
Researchers revealed that New York City and Boston were likely to be 'inundated' with floods of untreated sewage as climate change causes precipitation increases and rising sea levels. The outdated sewage systems weren't built to withstand the increasing amount of rainfall which causes blockages and flooding.
Revealed: The triggers that make cats scratch your furniture, according to scientists
Most cat owners will be familiar with the torn cushions, carpets and sofas that come as part of the package. But the feline instinct to scratch is made worse by stress, a study shows - and young children are one of the worst triggers. An international team of researchers has investigated which factors influence undesired scratching behaviours in domestic cats.

Incredible bionic leg is controlled by human thoughts - and makes it easier for amputees to climb up stairs
Scientists have developed a prosthetic leg controlled by the human brain which could make it easier for amputees to get up and down stairs. The ground-breaking new device allows patients to directly control their prosthetic using their thoughts. The device records signals from surgically preserved muscles which are carefully monitored and converted into controls for a robotic ankle. In a trial of 14 amputees, researchers from MIT found that the leg created a more natural gate, improved stability on uneven terrain and a 41% increase in speed.
Bruised, bleeding, and wearing a diaper for SIX hours - the painful truth of what it's REALLY like to walk in space (and why it looks NOTHING like Sandra Bullock in Gravity)
For many astronauts, spacewalking is the ultimate aspiration, but only the elite qualify to do it. And Cady Coleman - who spent six months on the International Space Station in 2010 - is quick to point out that it's NOTHING like Sandra Bullock 's glamorous portrayal in Gravity. Coleman actually advised the actress on how to make her spacewalk believable in the movie, during an intergalactic phone call from the ISS. But in her new book, Sharing Space, she describes the painful process of wearing the bulky, unisex EVA (extravehicular activity) suits.
Archaeologists unearth 'significant' religious relic that depicts Moses receiving the 10 Commandments
Archaeologists have unearthed a religious relic decorated with Christian motifs, including Moses receiving the 10 Commandments and the ascension of Christ after the crucifixion. The 1,500-year-old ivory box was discovered among the ruins of an ancient church in Austria and was deemed the most sacred item in a church. Researchers noted that only 40 such discoveries have been made worldwide, with the last found during excavations around 100 years ago.
Why are Apple products more expensive in the UK? British fans fume at having to spend an extra £700 on the new Vision Pro - with one saying you could fly to New York to buy the headset and STILL save money
The Vision Pro headset is the latest in a long line of Apple products that costs more in the UK. Now, experts explain why British fans have to pay more. Since February, Vision Pro - the headset that lets wearers select apps with their eyes - has been available in the US at the cost of $3,499 (£2,759). But the UK price is around £700 higher - a whopping £3,499 ($4,434) - and Brits have taken to X ( Twitter ) to complain. One pointed out that it would be cheaper to fly to New York to pick up a Vision Pro and return home to London. It reflects a general trend with Apple over the last few years, with iPhones, iPads and MacBooks among the products that have cost more across the Atlantic.
Tour the Pillars of Creation! Incredible NASA video travels through trunks of interstellar gas and dust in a nebula 6,500 light-years away
Have you ever wanted to take a walk to deep space, this could be as close as you ever get. In this stunning animation, NASA lets the viewer wander through the trunks of the Pillars of Creation in a nebula 6500 light years from Earth. This is the most detailed and comprehensive video ever created of these star-birthing clouds. This is made possible by combining observations from NASA's two most powerful space telescopes, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope.
'Wise' face of ancient Egypt's most powerful pharaoh moments before death is revealed
Ancient Egypt's most powerful ruler lived to around 90 years old - and scientists have seen his face for the first time in more than 3,200 years. Scientists used a 3D model of the king's mummified skull, layering it with soft tissue and skin to recreate his look at the time of his death. The life-like image revealed a frail, elderly man with a weathered face.
Elon Musk's SpaceX will build a $843M 'tug vehicle' to pull the International Space Station back down to Earth - as part of NASA's grand plan to decommission the ageing observatory
It's been a home for astronauts for nearly 25 years, about 250 miles above the Earth's surface. But the International Space Station is due to be destroyed in 2030, and now NASA has firmed up its plans on how to do it. The space agency has selected Elon Musk 's SpaceX to build a 'space tug' vehicle that will pull it back down towards Earth. When the two reach Earth's atmosphere they will burn up - but NASA expects the risk of debris raining down on us will be very small. SpaceX has been given $843 million (£666 million) to design and build the 'US Deorbit Vehicle' vehicle, which could look similar to its Dragon series that transports crew and cargo.
Astronauts aboard the ISS are forced to take cover after a defunct Russian satellite broke up in orbit - scattering more than 100 bits of debris towards the space station
US space agencies said Russia's 'Resurs-P1' spacecraft (right) broke up into at least 100 pieces of debris at around 10:00 MT (16:00 BST) on Wednesday. Astronauts aboard the ISS - including the two 'stranded' Boeing passengers - had to take cover for an hour due to the risk of being hit. In an X post (inset), NASA said it instructed crews aboard the space station to shelter in their respective spacecraft 'as a standard precautionary measure'.
Hidden 'City of the Dead' with more than 300 tombs that contain mummified families is discovered in Egypt
Scientists working in Aswan, Egypt announced the discovery of 36 more tombs, brining the total to 300 in what they are calling the new 'City of the Dead.' Patrizia Piacentini, an archaeologist at the University of Milan, told DailyMail.com that the burial site spans nearly 270,000 feet and featured up to 10 terraces of ancient tombs arranged in layers on the hill near the modern Mausoleum of Aga Khan III. The team has been working at the site for five years and recently uncovered dozens of tombs that were reused for 900 years to include 30 to 40 mummies each - and many contained families who likely died from infectious diseases.

First case of Down syndrome among Neanderthals discovered in six-year-old child who lived more than 145,000 years ago
Scientists have discovered the first case of Down syndrome among Neanderthals after analyzing a fossil found in Spain, which belonged to a six-year-old who lived over 140,000 years ago. The analysis revealed that the child, dubbed 'Tina,' suffered from a congenital pathology in the inner ear that is associated with genetics, which produced severe hearing loss and disabling vertigo. The discovery has suggested that Neanderthals were capable of providing altruistic care and support for a vulnerable member of their social group since the child survived years after birth.
Volcanic eruptions on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula may last for several decades, study warns - forcing citizens to repeatedly flee their homes and tourist spots to close
Since 2021, Iceland has been rocked by eight volcanic eruptions that have sent citizens fleeing from their homes. But experts now warn that the worst may be yet to come for the residents of the Reykjanes Peninsula. To see why the area had suddenly become so active, an international team of scientists studied lava samples and seismic data from the last three years of eruptions. They discovered that the peninsula is sat on an interconnected magma plumbing system that could keep volcanoes fed with molten rock for years to come.
EXCLUSIVEGrand Canyon contaminated by uranium mine as THOUSANDS of homes' drinking water could become toxic

Bizarre humanoid robot with a face made out of living skin tissue is created by researchers in Japan
In sci-fi films like Alien, humanoid robots are so realistic that it's almost impossible to tell them from a real human. Now, scientists in Japan are on their way to creating real-life versions of these lifelike machines. The experts from the University of Tokyo have created a robotic face out of lab-grown human skin.
We have touchdown! China makes history by returning the first rocky samples from the moon's far side - which experts say could reveal more about the solar system's early history
China has once again made spaceflight history as its lunar lander returns to Earth with the first rock samples from the far side of the Moon. The Chinese lunar probe Chang'e-6 touched down in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at 06:07 GMT (14:07 Beijing time) this morning. The return capsule brought its precious cargo back to Earth after a months-long journey to the largely unexplored far side of the moon. The landing capsule returned with up to 4.4 lbs (2kg) of rocky lunar regolith collected by drill from the Moon's South Pole-Aitken basin.
Amazingly-preserved ancient wolf with its fearsome teeth intact after 44,000 years is pulled out of Siberian permafrost
Experts say the male wolf found in Yakutia, eastern Russia , has amazingly-preserved fur, bone and even organs, as well as teeth and bone. Permafrost is ground that remains permanently frozen even during summer months - and can stay frozen for thousands of years. Ancient remains found in permafrost are among the most complete ever found because the ice stops organic matter from decomposing.
New discoveries about three-fingered 'alien mummy' found in South American cave revealed
A new analysis of an 'alien mummy' found in Peru has claimed that the creature features biological similarities to that of a human, 'indicating its coexistence with the ancient Nazca civilization.' Maria, labeled M01, was one of six mummies found inside the tomb in Nazca in 2017. Researchers used imaging techniques to see inside the white powered exterior, revealing hands and feet that appeared similar to that of a human. The team also determined that the elongated skull showed no signs of artificial cranial deformation.
