By Lauren Knowles Date July 20, 2023 It’s prime summertime, which means we’ve all got people to see, places to be, and plenty of things to do.

This season, we propose you skip the hot hair tools and buy yourself some extra time by going the air-dry route. As you embark on your sun-filled escapades, why not take advantage of the sun as a more…

The volume required can be huge. In the US, chip fabs use far less water than the agriculture and power generation industries, and semiconductors haven’t spurred political tensions over water resources at national scale, says Chris Miller, a history professor at Tufts University in Massachusetts and author of the recent book Chip War. Still, squeezes have been a concern in TSMC’s home of Taiwan, where droughts have pitted local farmers, who saw their irrigation systems shut off, against the chip maker.Not just any water will do. Just as the air inside a chip fab must be so free from dust…

Vampires, immortal as they are, will always be a part of horror cinema, either sparkling in the sunlight to woo teen girlfriends or trapping real estate agents in their ancient castles so their army of undead wives can suck their blood. They’ve made their way from whispered warnings in fairy tales and folklore to the biggest movie screens, and we haven’t gotten bored with their undead antics yet. (Although we could do with more vampires in capes; no one has cool capes in movies these days.)With The Last Voyage of the Demeter offering yet another twist on the vampire genre, we…
Credit: Trinity College Dublin Approximately 99.9% of fish and shark species are “cold-blooded,” meaning their body tissues generally match the temperature of the water they swim in—but researchers have just discovered the mighty basking shark is a one-in-a-thousand exception. Instead, these sharks keep the core regions of their bodies warmer than the water like the most athletic swimmers in the sea such as great white sharks, mako sharks and tuna. The latter examples are so-called “regional endotherms” and are all fast swimming, apex predators at the top of the food chain. Scientists have long reasoned that their ability to keep…

The biggest party of the summer isn’t taking place at a beach, backyard barbecue, or pool — it’s happening in the ring.

Starfield’s amount of dialogue is over quadruple that of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Bethesda has dropped an interview with its director Todd Howard, addressing some of the questions fans had about the upcoming space-set RPG — specifically, the dialogue system. Howard revealed that Starfield had passed 250,000 lines of dialogue, with NPCs emoting as per the tone. In comparison, the critically-acclaimed Skyrim boasts 60,000 lines of dialogue. Howard also hinted at the return of Persuasion, a common conversational tool seen in the classic Fallout and The Elder Scrolls titles. Starfield is slated to launch in early 2023 across PC…
A single human cell teems with as many 100,000 different proteins. Actin is one of the most abundant and essential of them all. This protein forms into filaments that help make up the skeleton of cells, giving them shape. And as the actin filaments elongate, they work like muscles, pushing against the inner membrane of a cell to move it forward. Three other proteins are known to drive the activities of actin. One class of protein assembles individual actin molecules into actin filaments, another causes the filaments to stop growing and a third disassembles filaments. Biophysicists at Emory University, however,…

Sacha Baron Cohen has a few different major comedy personas, but the one that started it all was Ali G. The Ali G character (who’s in-universe real name is Alistair Leslie Graham) was created as a parody of specific types of youth culture in the U.K. at the time. Despite being around since 1998, the character didn’t really take off in a big way until the early 2000s, after HBO began several seasons of Cohen’s Da Ali G Show — which also featured Cohen’s other famous creations, Borat and Brüno.Like most of Cohen’s other characters, Ali G’s humor is mostly derived from his interactions…

The Cleaning Lady has brought intrigue, action, and romance since it debuted on FOX in 2022. The addicting crime drama was developed by Miranda Kwok and followed Thony De La Rhosa’s struggles in Las Vegas. Her young son had a rare blood disorder, and she couldn’t afford treatment unless she worked for the mob and they helped her. During The Cleaning Lady Season 2, Thony grew even deeper into the crime world to save Luca, but that had severe consequences. While it was sometimes frustrating to see her make those mistakes and see others pay for them, we’re eager to…
An elusive “demon” particle has been observed inside a superconductor nearly 70 years after it was first predicted. Its discovery could help resolve the mystery of how superconductors work. Pines’ demon is a transparent, chargeless particle discovered inside a sample of the superconductor strontium ruthenate. It is a plasmon — a ripple across the electrons of a plasma that behaves much like a particle — meaning it’s a quasiparticle. Theorists think that plasmons may facilitate superconductivity in materials. If physicists are able to find out how, they could use Pines’ demon to shed light on room-temperature superconductors — one of the “holy…

Several years ago, I stopped by the AeroPress booth at a trade show and asked if there was anything new in the pipeline. The reply, which I may now be overinterpreting, was a bemused but understanding “wait a few years.”The original AeroPress is like a giant snub-nosed syringe that makes delicious coffee. It is compact, travels well, and is fairly easy to clean. To brew a batch, put grounds in the chamber, pour hot water over the top, stir, and then use the plunger to press the coffee out through a flat, circular filter into your mug. It was invented…

JWST’s view of the galaxy JADES-GS+53.18343-27.79097NASA, ESA, CSA, JADES Collaboration Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found a galaxy in the early universe that appears surprisingly mature, having grown a substantial inner core much more quickly than expected. The galaxy was found by a JWST survey called JADES, and we see it as it was 700 million years after the big bang, when it was perhaps just 100 million years old. It has a mass about 150 times less than that of the Milky Way. It had been thought that … Read The Full Article Here

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Wildfires, pushed by powerful winds, raced through Lahaina, Hawaii, on Aug. 8 and 9, 2023, leaving a charred and smoldering landscape across the tourist town of about 13,000 residents that was once the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii. At least 36 people died, Maui County officials said. Others were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after going into the ocean to escape the flames. Fires were still burning on Aug. 10, both in Maui’s tourist-filled west coast and farther inland, as well as on the Big Island of Hawaii. Dry…
