Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a “brainless” soft robot that can navigate more complex and dynamic environments. “In our earlier work, we demonstrated that our soft robot was able to twist and turn its way through a very simple obstacle course,” says Jie Yin, co-corresponding author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University. “However, it was unable to turn unless it encountered an obstacle. In practical terms this meant…

Modern Family co-creator Christopher Lloyd is sharing loving memories of his life wife, Days of Our Lives alum Arleen Sorkin, following her death last month. The couple met when they were both hired as staff writers on a sitcom, Lloyd reveals in an essay for Variety. “My name is Arleen, and I’m an empath,” she told him at lunch on the first day. “I hear a clicking in your jaw that may be TMJ. Here is the number of a dentist who can help.” In his remembrance, Lloyd recounts Sorkin’s many achievements from her life before and during their relationship:…
Photography by Getty Images With a series of subtle looks, under-wraps details, and an undoubtedly high budget, the actor’s nuptials bring quiet luxury into the bridal game. By Natalie Michie Date August 22, 2023 Celebrity nuptials are famously fussy affairs. So it feels pretty unusual when an A-list wedding can wrangle half of Hollywood and still feel…chill. And yet, this was the vibe curated by bride Margaret Qualley over the weekend.

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain We’re thinking more about the food on our plates, and where it comes from, these days. To cater to changing tastes and dietary preferences, menu options are being rewritten across Australia and the globe. There will be an extra two billion mouths to feed come 2050. So, we’re going to need to produce more protein, sustainably, and from more sources. That’s where innovative science and technology step in. The proteins we eat and how they’re made are changing. There are almost endless possibilities for foods of the future. Here are four surprising and tasty options our…
“What do you mean my actions have consequences? I’m literally just a girl.” This year, your feed has likely been blessed by the avatars of machinic girlhood: angels, bimbos, and the collective entity of “girls,” divine creatures who have transcended earthly bodies, curiously evacuated of anger, pain, attachment, who have nonetheless become wildly popular on every social platform. Which is to say that, while angels and girls have existed since time immemorial—and bimbos as we know them since at least the 1980s—it’s only recently that they’ve become a bit, floating away from history and into memetic shorthand. Whether it’s the…

All year, Disney has been celebrating 100 years of, well, itself. While it’s mostly been visible on the “Disney 100” logos that has appeared on the front of all of the company’s recent theatrical releases, the company has now announced a massive — and I mean massive — Blu-ray box set that commemorates the company’s centennial by bundling together 100 animated movies from across Disney’s history.And these aren’t 100 shorts; we’re talking 100 animated features, starting with the company’s first, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and going right on through their most recent release, Elemental. (That’s technically a Pixar title, but Pixar features are also…

WHETHER on page, stage or screen, the story of human health and happiness is often presented as an inevitable arc between birth and death. William Shakespeare captured this best with his “seven ages of man” speech. We enter the world “mewling and puking” as an infant, pass through the awkwardness of childhood and adolescence into our physical and mental prime, before a slow decline. Until recently, science appeared to confirm this view. For many abilities, we seemed to reach our peak well before midlife. But it is now becoming clear that this picture is far too simplistic. Childhood and…
Prepare for more of those clicker sounds bouncing around your brain. After setting HBO viewership records, zombie apocalypse thriller The Last of Us is headed for a second season, bringing Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal back as emotionally traumatized psuedo-father-daughter duo Ellie and Joel. And now that the series has multiple Emmy nominations under its belt, expect an even splashier season 2. The HBO adaptation is the media giant’s second largest debut, falling only behind Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon in viewership, and having experienced a 22 percent audience jump from its first episode to its second.…

FEW of us have fully digested the transformation of economies and our own behaviour that is implied by the existential fight against climate change – even as last month’s report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) laid bare how little time we have left to accelerate the transition to a cleaner world. It isn’t that the world is lacking in commitments. If you live in the UK, EU, US or scores of other places, the declared aim is that you should be living somewhere with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within three decades. Eleven nations – Canada, Denmark, France,…

For those of us who aren’t quite ready to smell like a pumpkin spice latte yet. By Souzan Michael Galway Date August 23, 2023 “It’s OK; September is always pretty warm, too!” This phrase has been on the tip of my tongue, making a near-constant appearance lately, as August approaches its end. It’s my immediate, automatic response to any mention of summer being “almost over” (horrible) or crisp autumn days being “just around the corner” (cruel and unnecessary). No longer able to hide the sheer desperation in my voice, which reveals itself through hurried sentences and shaky optimism, I unconvincingly…
NASA on Tuesday celebrated exceeding expectations during a mission to deflect a distant asteroid, in a sci-fi like test of humanity’s ability to stop an incoming cosmic object from devastating life on Earth.The fridge-sized Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impactor deliberately smashed into the moonlet asteroid Dimorphos on September 26, pushing it into a smaller, faster orbit around its big brother Didymos, NASA chief Bill Nelson announced.That changed its orbital period by four percent, or 32 minutes — from 11 hour 55 minutes to 11 hours 23 minutes, bettering an expectation of 10 minutes.”At some point in the future, if…
At 6 A.M. on a sweltering Saturday in June 2021, Sebastian Francisco Perez began work at Ernst Farm and Nursery, south of Portland, Ore. A recent immigrant from Guatemala, Perez was installing irrigation pipes for trees used in home and business landscaping. Temperatures soared to 107 degrees that day. Shortly after 3 P.M., Perez’ co-workers found him collapsed and gasping for breath. He died from hyperthermia and dehydration. Perez is one of several Oregon workers who died during a record-shattering heat dome, fueled by climate change, that settled across the Pacific Northwest. Nationwide, as many as 2,000 workers die each year…

Wrongful Acts by Tony Sclama What’s it About? A scientist uncovers a conspiracy to defraud the government but finds out that bringing the perpetrators to justice has deadly consequences. There’s something inherently chilling about a medical thriller. And in the case of Tony Sclama’s debut, Wrongful Acts, a trifecta of chill factors is at play here. Of course, the idea of being betrayed by a professional sworn to do no harm brings its own fair share of trauma-inducing fear, but Sclama is also a retired physician and his experience in the medical field lends an authenticity to his writing that…
“I’ve loved every movie I’ve made,” Adam Sandler once said, reflecting on his 34-year film career, and this year’s winner of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor has plenty of company. The man tabbed in 2022 by Guinness World Records as the highest-grossing comedy movie star is also that rare double threat who is acclaimed for both comic and dramatic performances. And since Netflix re-signed him in 2020 to a four-picture deal, the streamer and the star have teamed up for some winners. Here are a few highlights from Sandler’s career available on Netflix.

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Train elementary school students how to be creative and you can help increase their resilience in the face of real-life problems, new research suggests. In a small study, researchers trained third, fourth and fifth graders to use literary techniques such as perspective shifting, counter-factual (what if) thinking and causal (why) thinking to improve creativity in dealing with difficulties. The techniques helped kids come up with new, creative and practical ways to solve problems, said Angus Fletcher, lead author of the study and a professor of English at The Ohio State University and member of the university’s…

Hip sling, bum bags, waist packs–whatever you call the popular small bags that you wear around your middle, I love them. Fanny packs are my favorite kind of everyday bag, making it no surprise that it’s the kind of diaper bag I looked for when my first child arrived.There are a few diaper-bag-style hip packs out there, but some seemed too expensive for being able to carry only the bare essentials. I wanted something that could double as my own purse and still hold a few baby necessities, like extra clothes and a bottle. After hunting around, I stumbled upon…
