Cage structures made with nanoparticles could be a route toward making organized nanostructures with mixed materials, and researchers at the University of Michigan have shown how to achieve this through computer simulations. The finding could open new avenues for photonic materials that manipulate light in ways that natural crystals can’t. It also showcased an unusual effect that the team is calling entropy compartmentalization. “We are developing new ways to structure matter across scales, discovering the possibilities and what forces we can use,” said Sharon Glotzer, the Anthony C. Lembke Department Chair of Chemical Engineering, who led the study published today…

Although we adore and envy natural redheads like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Kidman, if there was ever any doubt about rising power of red hair, you only have to take a look at your Instagram feed to see just how many many other celebrities have been giving the shade a spin this season. Case in point: Dua Lipa’s fringe-forward foray into ginger, and the brief moment that Kim Kardashian’s followed fiery suit. Even red carpet’s favourite darling Zendaya has worn her hair in a dyed auburn red of late. Whether you prefer a chic straight bob or a sky-high ‘fro, red hair will add even more personality to your…
Netflix on Tuesday announced that users will be able to transfer profiles when they wish to transfer them from an existing account to a new one, starting today. The move comes after the company’s recent financial woes triggered a loss of subscribers for the first time in over a decade. Netflix had also recently started charging users for accessing their accounts on devices outside of a single home address. The proposed additional fee, was reportedly perceived as an attempt to monetise the common practice of sharing passwords. The company had also announced a shift in strategy, that saw the over-the-top…
Christopher Sweet/EyeEm/getty images I AM a firm believer that you can stargaze anywhere. In fact, a few years ago, I wrote a book about stargazing from cities based on that very premise. My argument is that stargazing can sometimes be easier to do from urban areas, especially for people who are new to the pastime and want to learn their way around the night sky. In a dark sky filled with stars, you can be overwhelmed by the sheer number of them and can lose the patterns of the constellations. Having said that, I am very concerned about light pollution,…

After a few disappointing successive episodes, The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 17 broke away from that format and delivered an hour worth of The Blacklist name. Raymond offered a case that was a significant upgrade from the one the Task Force had previously worked on.

This week, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a long-overdue message warning Americans what they already know: Social media is harming kids. But looking through the 19-page advisory, the surgeon general’s solutions appear potentially more dangerous than these pariah platforms themselves. He is pushing for a critically misguided policy that many state legislatures and regulators have already enacted, a mistake that threatens to undo what little internet privacy we have left. To protect kids from social media, he argues, platforms and lawmakers must enforce age minimums. This is tantamount to requiring ID to go online.Thirty years ago this July, an iconic New Yorker…
Living in an almshouse can boost the longevity of its residents by as much as two-and-a-half years compared to their counterparts in the general population, according to a new Bayes Business School report. Almshouses provide affordable community housing for local people in housing need. They are generally designed around a courtyard to provide a ‘community spirit’, that is synonymous with the almshouse movement. They offer independent living but provide friendship and support when needed. Analysing up to 100 years’ worth of residents’ records from various almshouses in England, the research suggests that living in these communities can reduce the negative…
Water From Your Eyes compose freaky pop music out of helter-skelter beats, pitch-bent guitars, weltering synth glitches, signal-jammed earworms, and vocalist Rachel Brown’s sometimes chanted, sometimes chatty, always oddly catchy cadences. Preceded by “Barley,” the alt-pop artists’ sixth studio album and Matador debut twists familiar sounds into horribly misshapen, Beefheartian symphonies that nonetheless make sense of our broken times and minds.

Neurological conditions can release a torrent of new creativity in a few people as if opening some mysterious floodgate. Auras of migraine and epilepsy may have influenced a long list of artists, including Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Giorgio de Chirico, Claude Monet and Georges Seurat. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in original thinking and newfound artistic drive. Emergent creativity is also a rare feature of Parkinson’s disease. But this burst of creative ability is especially true of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Although a few rare cases of FTD are linked to improvements in verbal creativity, such as…

The Monitor is a weekly column devoted to everything happening in the WIRED world of culture, from movies to memes, TV to Twitter.The date chiseled on the headstone will be May 23, 2023. That’s the day HBO Max—a streaming service with a name that would be inscrutable if it didn’t have “HBO” in it—became just Max. The day that, as the Max news was trending online and the Max app was glitching, Netflix quietly attempted to begin limiting who could share passwords. It was the day streaming died. Perhaps this statement is wildly hyperbolic. But amidst what seems like a panicked time in the streaming…
Miley Cyrus‘ plans for Endless Summer Vacation apparently do not include another tour, according to a new interview with British Vogue. “It’s been a minute,” the “Flowers” singer acknowledged about her live hiatus before reflecting on her last headlining arena show during 2014’s “Bangerz” world tour. “I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can’t. Not only ‘can’t,’ because ‘can’t’ is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?” She later shared her preference for performing to intimate audiences consisting of her…

There are three forces acting on the debris. First, there’s the downward-pulling gravitational force (Fg) due to the interaction with the Earth. This force depends on both the mass (m) of the object and the gravitational field (g = 9.8 newtons per kilogram on Earth).Next, we have the buoyancy force (Fb). When an object is submerged in water (or any fluid), there is an upward-pushing force from the surrounding water. The magnitude of this force is equal to the weight of the water displaced, such that it’s proportional to the volume of the object. Notice that both the gravitational force…
This week Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy released a warning about the risks that social media presents to the mental health of children and teenagers. Adolescent mental health has been declining for years, and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame. But experts continue to debate just how much impact they have—and whether new and proposed laws will actually improve the situation or will end up infringing on free speech without addressing the root of the problem. Numerous studies demonstrate that adolescent rates of depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm and suicide have skyrocketed…

Reading is such a subjective activity that each individual and culture approaches it differently. Some interesting facts about books and reading: Some readers don’t visualize at all while reading. In his 2014 book What We See When We Read, Peter Mendelsund wrote that even people who visualize while reading experience it vastly differently. Some people consciously picture characters and scenes; some experience them spontaneously, like performances occurring in front of them. There are myriad ways to experience storytelling, but it’s easy to assume…
