A team of engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has designed a new class of tiny, self-propelled robots that can zip through liquid at incredible speeds — and may one day even deliver prescription drugs to hard-to-reach places inside the human body.

Now that the actor has exited the Marvel Cinematic Universe after 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, he is set to star as Lewis Strauss in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, Oppenheimer, about the creation of the atomic bomb.…

People in Europe, especially the countries that are closer to the equator, really know how to dress for summer, their looks anchored with an effortlessness that’s difficult to emulate.

Repeatedly heading a soccer ball has been previously associated with negative long-term brain health for professional players. However, in a new study from researchers at the Minds Matter Concussion Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), a small number of repeated soccer headers equivalent to a throw-in did not cause immediate neurophysiological deficits for teens, suggesting that limited soccer heading exposure in youth sports may not result in irreversible harm if players are properly trained. The findings, which represent the most comprehensive real-time study of soccer headers in adolescent athletes, were published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. For some…

An artist’s impression of muons, created by cosmic rays, showering EarthHiroyuki K.M. Tanaka/University of Tokyo A navigation system based on high-energy particles created by cosmic rays has been successfully tested underground for the first time. The technology could one day be used to guide underground and underwater robots, and even aid search and rescue efforts in collapsed mines or buildings. Existing navigation tools like GPS use radio waves to triangulate a position, but these signals tend to be absorbed or reflected by water or thick rock. “That’s why it’s difficult to use GPS in indoor or underground environments,” says Hiroyuki…

ABC is switching up its Monday slate after lower-than-expected ratings for The Bachelorette Season 20. The current season, with Charity Lawson, has been airing for the last month and is currently down almost 60% in the demo vs. The Bachelorette Season 19.

The lower numbers could be attributed to ABC airing the series in the 9 p.m. hour instead of its regular 8 p.m. lead-off spot.

Others, like Target, have removed some of their Pride merchandise from stores after receiving backlash. Still others have maintained their Pride campaigns despite the turmoil.All of which has led some LGBTQ+ consumers and creators to reassess which corporations really supported their rights, and which were just…
