This “electroadhesion” technique can stick all matter of materials together without any adhesives or glues. Credit: American Chemical Society If you’re a fan of arts and crafts, you’re likely familiar with the messy, sticky, frustration-inducing nature of liquid glues. But researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces now have a brand-new way to weld squishy stuff together without the need for glue at all. They’ve demonstrated a universal, “electroadhesion” technique that can adhere soft materials to each other just by running electricity through them. There’s a glue out there for almost any situation, whether it involves plastic, fabric, wood…
Dessert with Buddha by Roland Merullo It was not the first road trip he had taken with a Siberian monk. The first one, of course, was in Roland Merullo’s widely popular Breakfast with Buddha, in which New Yorker Otto Ringling reluctantly hooks up with his brother-in-law Volya Rinpoche, shares his thoughts and beliefs and gains new perspectives and appreciation for the world from this unorthodox traveling partner. Some 250,000 book sales later, Merullo followed his Breakfast bestseller with Lunch and Dinner versions of the Buddha experience. Now, in Dessert with Buddha, Otto and Rinpoche continue their journey across America —…
The Dallas spinoff Knots Landing landed on CBS in 1979 and aired 14 soapy seasons of hook-ups, break-ups, and shake-ups before signing off 30 years ago, on May 13, 1993. Four years later, however, fans were tangled up in Knots Landing drama once more with 1997’s two-part miniseries Knots Landing: Back to the Cul-de-Sac. (Then, of course, came the 2005 special, Knots Landing Reunion: Together Again.) And with the recent updates of Dallas and Dynasty (another ‘80s-era primetime soap), it’s only a matter of time before Knots Landing gets its own reboot with a new generation of Seaview Circle residents.…
Bumblebees spread behaviour through social learningRichard Becker / Alamy Stock Photo Bumblebees can teach each other how to solve a puzzle box, and they prefer the method their sisters teach them rather than those they learn on their own. This adds to evidence that these insects are capable of social learning, and they use it to share trends and sustain cultures over time. Researchers ran a series of experiments in which 10 colonies of buff-tailed bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) had to solve a puzzle box to access a sugary solution inside. There were two possible solutions – push a red lever…
Made complete with Don Julio Tequila, of course. By FASHION for Don Julio Date May 2, 2023 Tequila and Cinco de Mayo go hand-in-hand. As Mexico’s national spirit, tequila holds a special place in the country’s cultural heritage. It has evolved over time to represent Mexican pride and tradition and has even become a popular part of Cinco de Mayo celebrations. This annual celebration is held on May 5 to honour the victory of the Mexican army over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. After 161 years, the deeper history behind Cinco de Mayo is not as…

Few of us will experience a week quite as eventful as what Ed Sheeran just sailed through. The singer and songwriter is accustomed to the limelight, occupying center stage. Last week, however, was a blur for Sheeran who, in quick succession, won a major court battle; released a new album, Subtract; then set about promoting his new music on national TV and in the round at U.S. stadiums. Sheeran faced the media outside the Manhattan Federal Court just last Thursday, where he had been accused of copying the chord structure of Marvin Gaye‘s 1973 classic “Let’s Get It On,” for…
The following post contains SPOILERS for The Mandalorian Season 3.Well it was certainly a season on The Mandalorian. A lot changed for our characters since we last saw them on The Book of Boba Fett. The Mandalorians reunited, they reclaimed Mandalore, Bo-Katan took back the leadership of her people, then she beat Moff Gideon (who was captured by the New Republic, then escaped, then cloned himself, then maybe died, but probably not since nobody really seems to die for long in Star Wars), and Mando and Grogu went off on their own once again to have adventures as freelancers for the New Republic.That’s what happened. But…

Since the outbreak of warfare in Ukraine, intelligence reporting from publicly available information, open-source intelligence (OSINT), has made a groundbreaking contribution in piercing the fog of war. Nevertheless, the rapidly growing OSINT community has ignored the ethics—the “should we’s” rather than the “what’s”—of publicly releasing wartime intelligence. Failure to grapple with these questions will cripple our understanding of Russia’s war on Ukraine, and may instead mislead the public. And it threatens unintended harm to civilians and investigators alike. Thanks to the growth of telecommunication in the 21st century, OSINT has quickly become an efficient tool to track terrorist communication, facilitate…
Photography by Getty Images Karl Lagerfeld may have been famously fatphobic, but body diversity got the last word. By Natalie Michie Date May 2, 2023 When it was announced that Karl Lagerfeld was the theme of the 2023 Met Gala, there was some understandable backlash about the late designer’s complicated legacy. Industry voices (including FASHION) pointed to Lagerfeld’s track record of vocalizing misogynistic, discriminatory, and, perhaps most reliably, fatphobic views. This is why, as stars graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 1, it became positively poetic that many of the best-dressed guests were those…

Researchers at Simon Fraser University are studying the genes of superbugs to aid the development of new and effective treatments for drug-resistant bacterial infections. Superbugs are characterized as infection-causing bacteria resistant to treatment with antibiotics. “Antimicrobial resistance occurs when the disease-causing bacteria has ways to overcome the antibiotics that we use in treatment for infections,” says assistant professor Amy Lee, of SFU’s Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. The initiative is a collaboration between the Lee Lab and Brinkman Lab, which are working together as part of the interdisciplinary SFU Omics Data Science Initiative (OSDI). “Our lab tries to understand…

Credit: AP Photo/Markus Schreiber Senior officials from dozens of nations meeting in Berlin remained divided Wednesday on how to meet international climate goals, with some pushing for a phaseout of fossil fuels and others insisting that oil and gas can continue to play a role in the future—provided their emissions are somehow contained. The two-day Petersberg Climate Dialogue hosted by Germany heard calls for a new target on ramping up renewable energy to be negotiated…
Sometimes, fashion requires sacrifice, and Teyana Taylor went all in for the 2023 Met Gala. For several celebrities attending the fashion event on May 1, this meant wearing constricting outfits and holding their pee during the entirety of the event. For Taylor, it also meant relinquishing the ability to lift her feet more than a few centimeters. Still, she did look incredible in a structured tweed dress with plunging hip cutouts by Thom Browne. An ode to Lagerfeld, the dress resembled a tweed blazer layered over a floor-length skirt with a miniature train and elaborate ties on either side. The…
spring means warm sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and later sunsets (thank you, daylight saving time). Unfortunately, it also comes with seasonal allergies.

Graphical abstract. Credit: Molecular Systems Biology (2023). DOI: 10.15252/msb.202211320 It’s the quiet bacteria that you’ve got to watch out for, the bacteria that can survive antibiotic treatments by forming dormant, drug-tolerant “persisters.” These persister bacteria can wake up after treatment and prolong infections. Persisters were first described about 80 years ago in some of the first studies of the antibiotic penicillin. Later, it was discovered that these bacteria didn’t have genetic resistance to antibiotics—they basically go dormant, hibernating, essentially hiding from the treatment that has been designed to kill them. How they wake up again has remained a mystery. But…
It’s safe to say I’ve been utterly obsessed with the chin-length bob hairstyles that have emerged on some of my favourite celebs this year. As someone with a bob haircut, I fist pump the air acting as if I’m the CEO of some kind of invite-only short haired members club when yet another chin-grazing look gets debuted on the red carpet.Earlier this month, when Elsa Hosk took to her Instagram and shared the most insane 1950’s Marilyn Monroe-inspired bob––which she paired with a leather Louboutin trench coat, sheer tights and killer patent heels FYI––I realised I actually needed to give mine a…
