To kick off this week’s science news, our solar system received an unexpected “interstellar visitor.” On Tuesday (July 1), NASA and the International Astronomical Union confirmed the existence of a mysterious space object, most likely a comet, hurtling toward our little corner of the universe.

Confession: Until this year, I’d never shopped at Everlane or even stepped foot into one of its stores. I’d always heard it was known for creating elevated wardrobe basics, but something never quite drew me in—until I was invited to the SoHo boutique for a sneak peek of its summer collection.Curious to see what shoppers could expect for the upcoming warm-weather season, I browsed through the racks of Everlane’s latest offerings: everyday denim, easy one-and-done dresses, breezy skirts, versatile button-down blouses, and trendy Bermuda shorts. I couldn’t help but touch each piece, and with every item, I grew more excited…

Cruise robotaxis are back on the road… well, kind of. Though General Motors pulled the plug on its self-driving taxi business last year, the automaker has been quietly repurposing a few of the vehicles as it seeks to develop new driver-assistance technologies.This week, WIRED spotted a GM Bolt electric hatchback on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and later saw a similar vehicle on Interstate 880 near Oakland. In each instance, the car was being driven by a human. But it held equipment on the roof such as lidar sensors that resembled the setup from the Cruise ride-hailing system. The vehicle…

Parts of an IBM quantum computer on displayANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images A quantum computer and conventional supercomputer that work together could become an invaluable tool for understanding chemicals. A collaboration between IBM and the Japanese scientific institute RIKEN has now established one path to getting there. Predicting what a molecule will do within a reaction – for instance, as part of a medical treatment or an industrial catalyst – often hinges on understanding its electrons’ quantum states. Quantum computers could accelerate the process of computing these states, but in their current form, they are still prone to errors. Conventional…

Why can’t there be world peace? Because every great nation wants to be on top. That means China, Russia, and the USA are battling to be the number one nation on earth. Why? Because biology has built something strange into us: the pecking order, the social totem pole, the ladder of status, what scientists call the “dominance hierarchy.” And the dominance hierarchy is built into our biology. How do we know that? On the evolutionary timeline, we parted from lobsters, lizards and birds as long as six hundred million years ago. But lobsters, lizards, and birds have dominance hierarchies. Which hints that we all may have inherited…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Attie’s Amazing Adventures: Blueprints & Buried Truths? I’m a mix of farm girl grit and city girl spark, and for years, friends told me I should write my biography. Many of my real-life adventures, inventions, mistakes, and significant “aha” moments are woven into the CHARMS Book Series. Of course, it’s fiction… so unless you really know me, you’ll never quite be able to tell what’s true and what’s made up (and I’m not telling).

Still, it didn’t leave a mark on pop culture the way, say, 2001’s Shrek…
