J. Robert Oppenheimer, now the protagonist of a much-anticipated film hitting theaters on July 21, is today most known for his scientific leadership of the U.S. Manhattan Project, the World War II–era crash program to build the first-ever atomic bombs. But just a few years earlier, Oppenheimer had found himself pondering very different “weapons” of mass destruction: black holes—although it would be decades before that name arose. “It was influential; it was visionary,” says Feryal Özel, an astrophysicist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, of Oppenheimer’s work on black holes and neutron stars, the superdense corpses of expired massive stars.…

The eponymous wine preservation system made by Coravin has been transformative in the wine world, allowing you to extract wine from any bottle sealed with a cork without having to open the bottle or expose it to air.

In fact, piercing a champagne cork with Coravin’s needle would likely be catastrophic.Coravin has finally remedied this issue, but fans of fizz will need to buy a whole new device that’s designed just for preserving sparkling wines.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Convergence? Convergence was a story two years in the making all in my head. It comes from many years of dealing with interpersonal grief and how I learned to overcome that. It is based off the relationship between my wife and I, and how we’ve both dealt with her diagnosis of a progressive heart disease. Those who know me personally will immediately recognize that the main character, Jay, is based on my personality, life, and experiences. It is both a cautionary and informative tale about how the loss (or…

Jackery has upgraded from lithium-ion (Li-Ion) to lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries with the Explorer 2000 Plus. LiFePO4 batteries are less prone to overheating and combustion, making them safer. They also have a longer cycle life. Jackery promises 70 percent capacity after 4,000 cycles for the Explorer 2000 Plus and says you can expect a decade of service. For the Li-Ion Explorer 2000 Pro, Jackery promises 80 percent capacity after just 1,000 cycles.Sadly, the supplementary battery packs for the Explorer 2000 Plus are still Li-Ion. One advantage is the higher power density, which keeps them smaller than the power station…

There have been eight movies set in The Conjuring universe so far — and it might surprise you to learn that the most successful of all of them wasn’t any of the actual Conjuring movies, or any of the movies featuring that creepy doll Annabelle.No, the biggest hit The Conjuring franchise has produced to date is The Nun. Released in 2018, the movie earned $363.3 million worldwide against a budget of just $22 million. So naturally there is now The Nun II, which features Taissa Farmiga reprising her role from the first Nun as Sister Irene. The evil demon nun Valak is back as well, playing herself once again.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write My Best Break? Cynthia Anderson is a recurring character in the My Best Series who readers didn’t particularly like. I thought it was time to change that. My inspiration for this book came from a story about a father who discovered the daughter he raised from birth wasn’t biologically his. Cynthia’s story is a bit different, but it still touches on the fact that things aren’t always what they appear and it is up to each person to deal with life’s surprises. Cynthia is hungry for success but she…
There will be some big changes whenever Bob Hearts Abishola returns for its fifth season on CBS. That much we’ve known for a few months, ever since it was revealed that only Billy Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku will return as series regulars. While fans were left in shock hearing that much of that most of the show’s cast had been demoted, Bayo Akinfemi wasn’t that surprised. “It was a bit surprising, for all of 10 seconds,” Akinfemi, who plays Goodwin, explained to The New York Times. “We are disappointed, but we also understand at the end of the day [that]…
Bat activity falls as farms make the transition to organic agriculture, new research shows. Organic farming is better for biodiversity than conventional farming, which relies heavily on substances such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers. However, little is known about how wildlife is affected by the transition period when a farm goes organic. The new study, led by the universities of Bristol, Göttingen and Exeter, assessed the effects of organic farming by monitoring insect-eating bats at citrus orchards in Cyprus. Activity of three of the four species included in the study was significantly lower at farms in the transition period, compared…

When I contemplate the return of the crypto wars—attempts to block citizens’ use of encryption by officials who want unfettered spying powers—I look back with dread on the late Middle Ages. I wasn’t alive back then, but one feature of those times lingers in my consciousness. Starting around 1337 and all the way until 1453, England and France fought a series of bloody battles. The conflict went on so long it was immortalized by its centenarian length: We know it as the Hundred Years’ War.The crypto wars haven’t yet reached that mark. (In this column I will be reclaiming the…

This is a big week for Hollywood: amid a massive writers’ and actors’ strike, two potential blockbusters are opening on the same day: Christopher’s Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. The former portrays a man who reshaped the world through physics. The latter portrays a woman who lives in a world that defies the laws of physics altogether. Oppenheimer’s world is ours, dictated by physical laws we have studied for centuries. But, what might the physical laws of Barbie’s world look like? This is a natural question for me as a Ph.D. student studying the philosophy of science. But it…
