An artist’s impression of XY chromosomesTHIERRY BERROD, MONA LISA PRODUCTION/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Seven mice have been born using a process that involves turning male cells into egg cells and then fertilising them with sperm. The technique could one day allow two men in a same-sex couple to have children – with the help of a surrogate mother – who are genetically related to both of them. It could also help women with certain chromosomal conditions to have children that are biologically related to them. The original aim of the research was to investigate options for treating infertility in women who…

A new approach to carbon capture can take CO2 out of the air and store it in the ocean as baking sodaTurnervisual/iStock/Getty Images Carbon dioxide captured from the air could be turned into baking soda and stored in the world’s oceans, thanks to a newly identified material that researchers say could revolutionise the direct air capture (DAC) industry. For years, carbon capture technology has focused on capturing CO2 from pollution sites before it enters the atmosphere – from the chimneys of coal and steel plants, for example. Extracting carbon directly from the air represents a far greater challenge, as CO2…
Becoming Free Indeed by Jinger Duggar Vuolo You may recognize her maiden name from the hit TLC show 19 Kids and Counting. For seven years, Jinger Duggar Vuolo’s daily life was documented on national TV in front of millions of viewers. Throughout the show’s duration, the Duggar family demonstrated their adherence to the strict laws of Bill Gothard’s Basic Life Principles. But while she publicly followed Bill Gothard’s teachings, in private Jinger was terrified of falling short of these insurmountable expectations. It took an outside perspective for her to search her faith and learn what teachings the Bible truly held.…

A United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement database WIRED obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request shows that the agency has been leaning on a certain type of administrative subpoena to collect data from elementary schools, abortion clinics, and other vulnerable populations. And new details about a recent supply chain attack against the VoIP software 3CX indicate that attackers—likely hackers working for the North Korean government—were targeting cryptocurrency companies in the broad assault.We also looked at this week’s move by Italy’s data regulator, Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali, to temporarily stop OpenAI from incorporating Italians’ personal information…

Videos from the evening show off Hov’s classy, suit-and-tie look, and reveal that the setlist included hits like “Ni**as in Paris,” “Diamonds from Sierra Leone,” “Encore,” and more.…
Some fans have wondered if we might ever see Jar Jar Binks on The Mandalorian. Well, we did … in a sense.This week’s episode of The Mandalarorian, “Chapter 20: The Foundling,” features an extended flashback to Grogu’s childhood. (Well, uh, his earlier childhood anyway.) It reveals how he managed to survive “Order 66,” when Emperor Palpatine sent his Clone Army to destroy the Jedi, including the young Padawans being trained in the Jedi Temple. In this sequence we see that one Jedi in particular risked his life to get Grogu out of the Temple and off Coruscant.This Jedi is named Kelleran Beq. Jar Jar…
Sometimes science advances at a snail’s pace, but in this case that’s a good thing: researchers have created a squishy material that combines polymers with liquid metal, demonstrated in a snail-like robot. Developers say this electrically conductive gel could be used to make self-healing electronic circuits and biological monitors for measuring heart and muscle activity—and maybe even lead to robot nervous systems. The composite substance is stretchy and soft like living tissue. If it breaks or tears, the edges can be touched together, and the material’s molecular bonds quickly re-form without any additional heat or chemical treatment. And crucially,…
Three Authors Land on Time’s Coveted “Most Influential” List: What started for the iconic magazine as a celebration of the world’s most influential people affecting major global challenges from climate to public health to democracy to equality has expanded to something even bigger, now representing innovators, titans, leaders, artists and trendsetters. The literary world is represented once again this year on the just revealed 2023 TIME100 list of most influential people in the world: with Colleen Hoover, whose books have literally monopolized the bestseller listings; Neil Gaiman, described as “bringing dreamscapes to life;” and Judy Blume, for her groundbreaking young adult fiction and coming…
A defunct, 660-pound (300 kilograms) NASA satellite is set to tumble uncontrollably back to Earth after spending two decades studying the sun from our orbit. NASA’s Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) satellite will hurtle through the Earth’s atmosphere at 9:30 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 19 (1:30 a.m. UTC on Thursday, April 20), plus or minus 16 hours, NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense said. The bulk of the dead satellite — which examined solar eruptions from 2002 until it was decommissioned in 2018 — is expected to burn up while passing through our atmosphere. NASA has said…

After all, I may be the 56th individual to be called ‘governor,’ but there will ever only…

The future of medication abortion, which accounts for more than half of abortions in the U.S., is in limbo after a federal judge ordered the Food and Drug Administration to withdraw its approval of the drug mifepristone, also known as RU-486, which is used in medication abortions. If the ruling is upheld, such abortions will still be possible using another drug regimen. But they could be harder to obtain, even in states where abortion remains legal after last June’s Supreme Court decision overturned the federal right to abortion. On Friday U.S. district judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Amarillo, Tex., determined that…
Dangerous Blues by Stephen Policoff What’s it About? When Paul and his daughter move to NYC to get a fresh start, Paul can’t stop seeing the ghost of his wife.

Giulia Galli, Marco Govoni and fellow researchers have explored the possibility of predicting the electronic structure of complex materials using a quantum computer, an advancement in fields from materials engineering to drug design. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory If you know the atoms that compose a particular molecule or solid material, the interactions between those atoms can be determined computationally, by solving quantum mechanical equations—at least, if the molecule is small and simple. However, solving these equations, critical for fields from materials engineering to drug design, requires a prohibitively long computational time for complex molecules and materials. Now, researchers at the…

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is not a hit, and it seems like some finger pointing over the blame is beginning behind the scenes. Or, in this case, right out in the open.Yesterday, a report in TheWrap claimed that Dwayne Johnson, the star and producer of the previous DC Studios movie, Black Adam, “kneecapped” Shazam! Fury of the Gods in order to build up his own role in the DC Universe. Supposedly (allegedly), Johnson shot down a plan to have Zachary Levi’s Shazam appear in a post-credits cameo in Black Adam where the members of the Justice Society try to recruit him, in order to…

Photography via Getty Images He’s been reliably serving looks…for years. By Natalie Michie Date March 31, 2023 If “good vibes” could be materialized, the result would be Jonah Hill’s wardrobe.

Case in point: Hill made headlines while strolling over to the Brentwood, Los Angeles Country Mart on March 9th. His outfit? A simple white tee, a pair of dark-wash jeans with bone motifs by Japanese brand Kapital, and last but not least, a pair of chestnut Uggs. Inexplicably, it’s perfect.…
