That’s one of the great things about books, right? They let us experience some truly unbelievable things, like falling in love on Jupiter or exploring a network of ancient sea caves with a snarky robot sidekick. But sometimes it’s nice to read about ordinary stuff. Boring stuff. Everyday stuff. Sometimes it’s not only satisfying, but downright illuminating, and even world-expanding, to read books that celebrate mundanity. Sometimes you…

It was during her interview in the middle of the Jeopardy round that host Ken Jennings shared that Jeopardy! wasn’t the first set she’d been on, though it…

Given their form-fitting silhouette, it’s safe to say leggings come with a set of rules that exceeds those of other articles of clothing. But given how comfortable and cool leggings have the potential of being, we’d say that putting a little extra thought into your legging look is worth the effort.The legging trend has been back with a vengeance for a couple of years now and we’ve grown accustomed to seeing celebrities and catwalk show-goers wearing them instead of trousers—and in some instances, as a carefully considered extra item. (Who’d have thought that leggings with a skirt or sexy, suede boots could be so desirable?)To achieve…
Tempo will also be able to track variations in pollution at the neighborhood scale. Lefer foresees this being especially useful for exposing environmental injustice, since lower-income and racially segregated areas are more likely to be near emissions sources, like ports and refineries. “And satellite data can show that,” he says. Weather forecasting will benefit, too: With information constantly collected across greater North America, agencies will be able to more accurately infer future conditions, particularly in places where data currently exists for only a certain time of day. But this mission has its limits: Satellites only look down, just as remote-sensing ground monitors only…
Mirusviruses regulate the activity of plankton and contribute to the health of the marine ecosystems. (Image credit: Shutterstock)Scientists have discovered never-before-seen viruses that thrive in sunlit oceans from pole to pole and infect plankton. They dubbed the newfound microbes “mirusviruses” — “mirus” meaning “strange” in Latin.The researchers concluded that mirusviruses belong to a large group of viruses called Duplodnaviria, which includes the herpesviruses that infect animals and humans, based on shared genes that encode the shell, or “particle” enclosing their DNA. But the strange, newfound viruses also share a staggering number of genes with a group of giant viruses, called…

Disney keeps gradually revealing the various live-action updates of the classic characters in their new version of the animated classic The Little Mermaid. “Live-action” is not quite the right term here, though. It’s not like they cast a fish to play Flounder, Ariel’s underwater buddy. They just made a slightly more realistic-looking (though still talking) fish. (He’s voiced by Jacob Tremblay.)You can see the new Flounder, along with Scuttle the seagull (voiced by Awkwafina), along with Halle Bailey’s Ariel, Jonah Hauer-King’s Eric, and Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula, in the new trailer below:READ MORE: Sony’s Spider-Man Movies Are Coming to Disney+“Live-action remakes” has become an…
Studies of consciousness often run into a common conundrum of science — it’s hard to measure a system without the measurement affecting the system. Researchers assessing consciousness, for instance as volunteers receive anesthesia, typically use spoken commands to see if subjects can still respond, but that sound might keep them awake longer or wake them up sooner than normal. A new study not only validates a way to assess consciousness without external stimulation, it also finds that it may be more precise. “We want to measure when people make the transition from conscious to unconscious, and vice versa, but as…

Flooding caused by Cyclone Gabrielle in Awatoto, near the city of Napier. – New ZealandSTR/AFP/Getty Images A COUPLE of weeks ago I visited an experiment in a forest in the south of England that is attempting to make young trees old before their time. While I was there, I saw the aftermath of events of a year ago, when the UK was battered by three consecutive named Atlantic storms in just a few days. One of the casualties of that triple whammy was a large beech tree in the forest, felled by a branch that was ripped off its neighbour.…

The Friday night performance at the Sahara Tent was announced just days prior to the festival’s kick-off.

When the Guardians of the Galaxy return to theaters next month in Vol. 3 of their film franchise, the team will look very different than it did in Vol. 2. Since that last sequel, the Guardians have appeared in two Avengers movies, Infinity War and Endgame, and a Thor sequel, Love and Thunder, and their roster has undergone some major changes. Gamora died, Nebula and Kraglin joined the team, and Thor came and went. If you for some reason loved the Guardians but only watched their films and not the broader Marvel universe, you might be a bit surprised to see the state of the group six years later.Writer/director…
Students in sex ed class. Credit: Dfusion inc. Can a school-based sexual health education program that effectively reduces the risk of unintended pregnancy and STIs also decrease homophobia and transphobia? That question drove a collaborative effort by researchers conducting a randomized controlled trial of an inclusive comprehensive sex education program—High School FLASH. The study evaluated not just the impact on students’ sexual behaviors and related outcomes but also on their homophobic and transphobic beliefs. Specifically, researchers evaluated High School FLASH in 20 schools in two U.S. regions (Midwest and South). Study findings related to the curriculum’s impact on homophobic and…
