Ultrafast laser physicists from the attoworld team at LMU and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have gained new insights into the dynamics of electrons in solids immediately after photoinjection. A laser pulse hits an electron in a solid. If it receives enough energy from the light wave, it can then move freely through a solid. This phenomenon, which scientists have been exploring since the beginnings of quantum mechanics, is called photoinjection. There are still open questions about how the relevant processes unfold in time. Laser physicists of the attoworld team of LMU and the Max Planck Institute of…

In an interview with the Sunday Times, model Hailey Bieber opened up about her desire to have kids with her husband Justin Bieber, and what’s holding her back. The 26-year-old says she’s quite torn about the decision because of how any children they have will be in the spotlight. Hailey experienced it herself as the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, and Justin came to fame when he was still a kid, too. “I literally cry about this all the time!” Hailey shared. “I want kids so bad but I get scared. It’s enough that people say things about my husband…

HBO shows tend to hit the headlines for all the right reasons, but something about The Idol keeps courting controversy. The latest drama stems from a Page Six report stating that the show is not expected to return to HBO. “This was never meant to be a long-running show, it was always … a limited series,” a source told the gossip site, adding that the door is not 100 percent closed. “The door is definitely still open — it’s definitely not a decision [yet].” “At this point, this is normal in our process … we’re only two episodes in.” The…

Right now, it’s safe to say my style is built solely on comfort. Working from home more often has meant leaving the house less. Living in Scotland and being the sort of person who feels the chill in even the slightest of breezes means that when I do venture out, staying warm is the goal, and making my outfits more practical has become an increased priority. Aside from the odd dress or skirt-and-jumper combination, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in joggers this year—and not fancy ones at that. Comfortable they may be, but wearing them day in and day out made me…

As Pride Month arrives, I’d like to thank Book Trib for asking me to present a list of my favorite works of historical fiction in which queer men are the central characters. While I’ve been openly gay since publishing my first novel 20 years ago, it wasn’t until recently that I launched a romance series, the Sapphire Cove novels, in which queer male characters — their lives, their loves, their desires — were the sole focus. After years of being pressured to convert my gay men into either a heroine’s brother or best friend, Sapphire Cove became a place to…

Mobility limitation is an initial stage of human mobility disability and an early sign of functional decline. It can manifest as muscle weakness, loss of balance, unsteady gait, and joint pain. Long-term and continuous monitoring of joint motion may potentially prevent or delay decline by allowing the early diagnosis, prognosis, and management of mobility-related conditions. This long-term and continuous monitoring is made possible by analysis systems that are either non-wearable or wearable. Non-wearable systems are reliable, but require a laboratory environment and trained individuals and are therefore impractical for daily use. On the other hand, wearable systems are portable, cheaper,…

Olivia Culpo brought the cutout trend to the 76th Cannes Film Festival red carpet. At the May 23 premiere of “Asteroid City,” Culpo sparkled in a Miss Sohee gown featuring a prominent, plunging chest cutout. Aside from the dramatic diamond shape, the rest of the bodice was fairly minimal, replete with long midnight navy velvet sleeves, a high neckline, and a border of silver and blue crystals sprinkled where her periwinkle skirt began. The gown then blossomed into a mermaid shape of bright pleats that expanded around the model and swept the floor behind her. “There’s no better feeling than…

Remember Monster Energy’s “Tour Water” from the Vans Warped Tour? If not, we’ll go ahead and tell you right now that the water was often packaged in cans that, from afar, looked just like Monster Energy Drinks. But it was not.

But, we assure you, it was just canned water! And it was only ever available to the entertainers, not the general public.But that’s all changed now! Monster has released Tour Water to the…

Somehow, in all the movies Martin Scorsese has made with Robert De Niro, and all the movies Scorsese has made with Leonardo DiCaprio, he has never directed both men in a single movie. But finally, both of Scorsese’s key stars will appear in a single movie: Killers of the Flower Moon, based on David Grann’s non-fiction book of the same name (which had the subtitle The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI.)The film will make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this week, and so the hype machine is starting a little early for this one, with the first trailer just premiered…

IT CAN often feel like our days are governed by numbers in the most mundane ways. They tell you that you are going to be late for work, how much interest you are paying on your mortgage and how old you will be when you finally pay it off. But numbers can also be exhilarating. For me, as a cosmologist, the most fantastic numbers have meaning far beyond the scope of our humdrum daily lives. Some are indescribably small, others incomprehensibly large. What unites them is that they can reveal the secrets of how the universe works, and – most…

Photography by Getty Images We spy a budding It Girl duo. By Natalie Michie Date May 17, 2023 How does one describe the perfect wine and cheese pairing?

In December 2021, megawatt American entertainer Ariana Grande posted a photo of herself wearing dark winged eyeliner, a foundation lighter than her skin tone, and a bright red lip often associated with Korean makeup. Online commenters dragged her so fast for “Asian-fishing,” appropriating Asian features, that she quickly deleted the post. But some defenders who identified as Asian weighed in to say that associating Grande’s look as “Asian” in the first place only confirmed biases about what Asians looked like: pale skin; smaller, slanted eyes. Earlier in the same year, Oli London, a white British K-pop fanboy, underwent several cosmetic…

Patients with MS show structural abnormalities in their white matter even before MS inflammation develops. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) in Amsterdam and the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen (MPI).

In early, as well as advanced progressive MS, lesions arise along with substantial inflammatory activity. Lesions are the inflammatory sites where the myelin is broken down and taken up by…

While Pride has been important since its inception in 1970, one year after the infamous Stonewall Riots, it seems especially essential after events of the last few years. There have been multiple hateful and narrow-minded legislative attempts to essentially eradicate members of the LGBTQ+ community and push others back into the closet. But there has been just as much pushback at these close-minded attempts, and it will continue to happen until it is no longer an issue. Everyone has…
