Black leather isn’t the only option for an edgy, on-trend look. Riverdale actress Camila Mendes was recently photographed in New York City wearing an olive green leather jacket, immediately cementing this hue as my new favorite sophisticated neutral for fall. It’s the perfect combination of trendy and timeless. Oh, and it looks amazing with her new engagement ring!It’s the ideal antidote to the ubiquitous sea of predictable charcoal, gray, and camel that typically dominates cold-weather street style. To replicate Mendes’s effortless aesthetic, opt for a piece of olive green outerwear instead of the usual black. This hue looks elegant across…

DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2025.09.026 Researchers from Skoltech, ITMO University, and their colleagues have reported new findings about the behavior of microbubbles exposed to ultrasound. The data obtained by the team will enable the creation of more stable and safe microbubbles that could have therapeutic applications as vehicles for drug delivery to the brain and targeted activation of anti-cancer agents, and would make it possible to limit intense ultrasound exposure, avoiding its side effects. The study is published in Acta Biomaterialia. Microbubbles are used in ultrasound diagnostics to increase the contrast of the image and make even the smallest…

TVLINE | OK, last Sage question, promise. What was your take on all of her wild facial reactions? I think Sage’s facial expressions are iconic and hilarious and as a fan, I’m almost so happy to be part of such an interesting dynamic with Sage.

A hot mystery on the sun may be close to being solved.For decades, scientists have been trying to understand why the sun’s outer atmosphere is so much hotter than its surface, despite being farther from the core. Whereas the surface, or photosphere, is millions of degrees Fahrenheit, the outer atmosphere is only about 10,000 F (5,500 C).Now, thanks to observations from a new high-resolution telescope, scientists have finally spotted elusive “magnetic waves” in the sun’s atmosphere that may be responsible for much of the corona’s incredible heating. The findings were published Oct. 24 in the journal Nature Astronomy. You may…

Kele vs. Hina, throwing down for the crown! However, Wednesday’s episode hits the reset button, throwing us back into our new era routine and re-reshuffling the tribes back into three for… reasons?

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write For The Witches (Sapphic Collections)? I love to write stories of women-loving-women, and I frequently write short stories for anthologies and other projects. I wanted to be able to give back to my community this year, so I decided to bundle my short stories into two volumes and donate the proceeds to organizations fighting for reproductive justice. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of For The Witches (Sapphic Collections), what would they be? The novella in this collection, All I Wanna Do, is inspired…

Neanderthals may have used ochre crayons to draw on cave wallsGorodenkoff/Getty Images A remarkable yellow crayon unearthed in Crimea, still sharp after more than 40,000 years, indicates that painting lines on objects was part of Neanderthal culture. This discovery is the firmest evidence yet that some Neanderthal groups used coloured pigments in symbolic ways – behaviour once regarded as the sole domain of our species. “It’s really exciting. It adds a new facet to what we know about symbolic use of colour,” says Emma Pomeroy at the University of Cambridge, who wasn’t involved with the research. The use of ochre…

Believing she was brought here by accident, she leads a trio of other morally compromised individuals to try and become more ethical people who can actually earn their place in…

In the game of poker, the ultimate question is whether at the end of the day one should twist or stick. The same logic applies to narrative cinema – should the screenwriter pull the rug out from under the audience’s feet and force them to question everything they’ve seen prior to that moment, or should they stay the course and follow the path they’ve been cultivating for the previous 90-or-so minutes? David Mackenzie’s Relay is a corporate espionage thriller which is faced with such a conundrum and is eventually forced to make a choice. We won’t say the way it goes, but in terms of…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Digital authoritarianism is a new way governments are trying to control citizens using digital and information technology. It is a growing concern for advocacy groups and those interested in freedom and democracy. It is especially worrying for those who initially heralded digital and information technologies as liberating tools that would spread information more easily for citizens. I have studied the rise of digital authoritarianism in Africa over the last two decades. My most recent study focused on Nigeria, and its turn to digital tools for control after the 2020 #EndSARS Movement protests. I found that local…

Not to brag, but I think I’m the perfect person to report on Sabrina Carpenter’s most recent outfit, because I am also an owner of the Aritzia coat she wore—two of them, in fact. In what was the perfect fall scenario, Carpenter descended upon Central Park (amidst her string of shows at Madison Square Garden) on an ideal gloomy fall day in NYC, wearing the ideal cozy fall outfit. It was comprised of the aforementioned coat (more on that in a bit), a checked Guest in Residence scarf (which I now need), baggy jeans, pointed-toe boots, and a burgundy Celine…
