A large portion of Greenland was an ice-free tundra landscape — perhaps covered by trees and roaming woolly mammoths — in the recent geologic past (about 416,000 years ago), a new study in the journal Science shows. The results help overturn a previous view that much of the Greenland ice sheet persisted for most of the last two and a half million years. Instead, moderate warming, from 424,000 to 374,000 years ago, led to dramatic melting. At that time, the melting of Greenland caused at least five feet of sea level rise, despite atmospheric levels of heat-trapping carbon dioxide being…

You might not actually have plans to cruise around the French Riviera this summer, but there’s no reason you can’t dress like you’re about to step onto a boat, and this luxe aesthetic is…
Sam noted how since it would be extremely difficult to determine the weight of the beans the TrueBrew uses nor the original volume of water nor the temperature in the brewing chamber, it’s a bit of a black box in terms of figuring out what’s happening while it makes coffee.He could, however, measure the total dissolved solids (TDS), the amount of coffee grounds that actually dissolve into your coffee and denote a sense of the drink’s strength. At 3.99 TDS, it was like a half-strength espresso.From there, we made two consecutive 12-ounce cups, which both poured a little under 10…
Neal Langford, an early bassist for indie outfit the Shins, has died.

It’s that time of the year again: San Diego Comic-Con. In 2023, the event is running from Thursday, July 20 through Sunday, July 23, and while some things are up in the air, there are some TV panels on the schedule you won’t want to miss. With the writers and actors strikes (the latter of which means they can’t sit on panels at SDCC promoting past or current work), it’s unclear just who will be in attendance; most of the panel announcements don’t include any participants just yet. Marvel, Lucasfilm, HBO, Universal, Sony, and Netflix are among those without a…
A sixth person is in long-term remission from HIV following a stem cell transplant, scientists reported this week at a major HIV research conference — but the patient’s case differs dramatically from earlier ones, and it cannot yet be explained.”What has happened to me is wonderful and magical,” the anonymous patient said in a statement. “We can now focus on the future.”The man, referred to as the “Geneva patient,” had both cancer and HIV at the time of his transplant procedure. He’d been living with HIV since the early 1990s, when he began taking anti-HIV medication, known as antiretroviral therapy…
Courtesy Warner Bros. Pictures In Barbie Land, what happens when you’re not perfect? By Natalie Michie Date July 28, 2023 Everyone who has played with dolls has a Weird Barbie origin story. Maybe you tried to give your doll some layers with dull kitchen scissors. Perhaps you were going for a sophisticated makeover by colouring her lips red with Sharpie. Before you knew it, your Stereotypical Barbie became Weird Barbie, and she was relegated to the bottom of your toy box. In the Barbie movie, we finally see her side of things. And it’s possibly the most important perspective to…
This story originally appeared in Hakai and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration.In the stark sheep pastures of Ireland’s Maumturk Mountains, just a few gnarled trees cling to the hillside, twisted and bent by decades facing down the raw Atlantic winds. Now this unlikely landscape, where native woodlands have been gone for almost 1,000 years, is at the heart of a bold plan to bring back long-forgotten rainforests.The nonprofit Hometree, started by a group of surfers, wants to buy 800 hectares of land across eight sites in western Ireland to reforest over the next four years. Then it wants…
After the return of guitarist John Frusciante and the success of Californication, what would Red Hot Chili Peppers do for an encore? On July 9, 2002, we found out as the band released their eighth studio album, By the Way.And while Californication had Frusciante getting back into the flow with the band, By the Way found the more confident guitarist really putting his musical stamp on the music. “Like Californication, writing By the Way has been one of the happiest times of my life,” Frusciante told Total Guitar. “It’s been a chance to just keep on writing better songs and improving my…

New work by scientists in the U.S. and China shows how a fertilized egg cell, or zygote, hits ‘reset’ so that the newly formed embryo can develop according to its own genetic program. The study was published July 17 in Nature. It has been known for some time that the genome of a newly fertilized egg cell is inactive and has to be woken up, said Richard Schultz, research professor at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine and a corresponding author on the paper. This step is called zygote genome activation. “For the embryo to develop, the…

Early in her astronomy Ph.D. program, Aomawa Shields found herself without words. She had an undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology but had left science for 11 years—a full solar cycle—and now she was back. It was her turn to present scientific findings to her peers, but Shields, who also had an M.F.A. in acting, developed a terrible case of stage fright. Getting ready for her talk, she was too shaky to tie her shoes. “I guess that was the closest thing I’ve ever had to a panic attack,” Shields recalls. Helping her tie her shoes, her husband…

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said that the 5G technology in India is completely indigenous, one that is not imported from somewhere else and is the country’s own product. “The story is yet to reach the public.

There could be some critical parts coming from countries like Korea, but certainly not from somebody else…,” Sitharaman said at the John Hopkins University event in Washington.She said India can now provide 5G technology to other countries that want it. “Our 5G is not imported from somewhere else and…
On Wednesday (July 26), Selena Gomez shared a sweet birthday message for her longtime friend Francia Raisa, eight months after the two had a public falling-out. “Happiest of birthdays to this special human being,” Gomez wrote alongside three photos of the pair in happier times. “No matter where life takes us, I love you.” In addition to being close friends, Raisa — who turned 35 on Wednesday — also donated a kidney to Gomez back in 2017 after the singer/actress suffered lupus-related organ damage. But their tight bond was tested late last year when Raisa — an actress on How…

A melanistic leopard or “black panther” in Laikipia, Kenya – not the UKChris Brunskill/Getty Images Rumours of big cats, such as leopards and mountain lions, living wild in the UK have been bubbling for decades.

It’s finally time to go back to Cousins Beach.

The “Man in the Moon,” the dark area of dried lava that looks like a face smiling from the lunar surface, may be older than anyone thought, scientists say. The consequences could echo through the entire solar system. “It’s like changing the clock for all solar system objects,” says Stephanie Werner, a planetary scientist at the University of Oslo in Norway and a co-author of the new research, which she presented on July 14 at the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference in Lyon, France. The finding is currently in press in the Planetary Science Journal. Unlike Earth, where plate tectonics and biological…

Well, this is surprising. It seemed like we were going into Big Brother Season 25 with little information about what was on tap for the houseguests. CBS on Friday afternoon shared a surprising sneak peek ahead of Wednesday’s live move-in event. Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes, and Danielle Reyes “broke into” the revamped house that houseguests will call home and “unwittingly unleashed the season 25 twist.” Cameras captured the big moment and the moment the three BB alums, who all famously lost their seasons, rolled a “Time Laser” into the house. “The incident has revealed their plan was to go back…
