Megan Fox joined Martha Stewart, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader as Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue cover stars this year—and made a very honest confession during her interview with the outlet. Despite being publicly viewed as a sex symbol throughout her career, the 37-year-old actress said she has privately struggled with her body image since childhood.“I have body dysmorphia,” she started in a video interview. “I don’t see myself the way other people see me. There was never a point in my life where I loved my body. There was never ever. When I was little, that was an obsession I…

Another idea, he says, is that perhaps gravity has slightly different effects over vast spatial scales. In that case, gravity’s effects would have gradually changed how the universe took shape, and Einstein’s theory of gravity might need to be modified. But to justify such radical solutions, scientists have to be really, really sure about their measurements. That’s where Wendy Freedman, an astronomer at the University of Chicago, comes in. She’s an expert on using pulsating cepheid stars as “standard candles.” These stars have well-known distances and brightnesses that can be used to calibrate measurements of the universe’s expansion. She and her colleagues are making…
Water in California’s Central Valley contains enough manganese to cause cognitive disabilities and motor control issues in children, and Parkinson’s-like symptoms in adults. A naturally occurring metal, manganese is found in water supplies throughout the world. It is regulated as a primary contaminant in many Southeast Asian countries where the climate causes it to leach into groundwater. However, in the U.S. it is regulated only as a secondary contaminant, meaning no maximum level is enforced. A new UC Riverside-led study shows that, among Central Valley communities, the highest concentrations of manganese are in private, untreated well water systems. However, the…
Type O Negative are widely considered the definitive goth metal band, so it’s only appropriate that on World Goth Day (May 22nd), a new AI-generated video for the group’s song “Halloween in Heaven” has been unveiled. The late Peter Steele originally penned the track as a tribute to Dimebag Darrell, and it was included on what would be Type O’s final album Dead Again in 2007. Dimebag even appears in the new video, alongside the many rock heroes Steele mentions in the song’s lyrics: “Bonham on drums, Entwistle on bass, as guest morticians / Bon Scott on vox, Rhoads just…

X-ray (over) and optical pseudo-color (below) images of three low mass clusters identified in the eFEDS survey data. The highest redshift cluster come from a time when the universe was approximately 10 billion years younger than today. The cluster galaxies in that case are clearly much redder than the galaxies in the other two clusters. Credit: eRosita When Edwin Hubble observed distant galaxies in the 1920s, he made the groundbreaking discovery that the universe is expanding. It was not until 1998, however, that scientists observing Type Ia supernovae further discovered that the universe is not just expanding but has begun…

Here’s a proposition: Rather than delight your kid once or twice a year with a big, expensive present that will eventually get put aside, why not surprise them with a small, delightful package once a month? I have two kids, a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, and they love it when something arrives in the mail that isn’t bills, replacement chargers from Amazon, or Garnet Hill catalogs.Subscription boxes can be useful supplements for remote learning. They’re also handy to have around the house if you can’t send your sniffly kid to school or to a big indoor birthday party. As a…

PEN America and publisher Penguin Random House, as well as a few authors and parents, filed a federal law suit today against Florida’s Escambia County School District. The authors who joined the suit — all of whom have had their books either removed or restricted by the school board — are Sarah Brannen, David Levithan, George M. Johnson, Ashley Hope Pérez, and Kyle Lukoff. The suit demands books that were taken out of school libraries be returned, stating that the removal of the books, which discuss LGBTQ+ and racial identities and racism, violates the First Amendment. The suit also states that the…
We knew it was coming, but it doesn’t make it any less difficult to report that The CW is completely overhauling its schedule in the fall. Earlier this year, Nexstar took control of the young-skewing network from Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount. As a result, the network’s fall schedule is drastically different than in years past. All American is the only show familiar to CW viewers on the fall schedule. The hit drama scored a 13-episode renewal for Season 6. It will retain its Mondays at 8 p.m. slot in the fall, where it will lead into 61st Street, the…

Beyond storing wallet credentials in email messages, digital notepads, and other insecure locations, Brooks explains, people are prone to forgetting where they put their recovery phrase—a simple human error, easily made. But the consequences of basic mistakes like this are “amped up exponentially” when crypto is involved, he says. In a worst-case scenario, life savings can be lost.But with more crypto investors shifting to self-custody, both software and hardware wallet makers are trying to make their products more accessible and the process less risky.Ledger is preparing to launch a new service called Ledger Recover that splits a wallet recovery phrase—basically,…
Despite their name, microplastics are a gigantic player in pollution worldwide. These fibers, beads and fragments (defined as being less than five millimeters in size) have infiltrated nearly every environment, especially oceans. To track the problem, researchers are now homing in on these seaborne flecks from more than 300 miles away—in space. Recent research in Scientific Reports details how microplastics appear to flow alongside floating patches of oily and soapy substances called surfactants, which create distinct footprints in ocean currents. Those footprints are detectable by NASA’s Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), a network of eight hurricane-monitoring satellites, and tracking…

The salty current flooded into the South Atlantic via the Agulhas Leakage, which snakes around the tip of Africa. (Image credit: Shutterstock)Extremely salty water flooding into the Atlantic Ocean from the Indian Ocean may have contributed to the end of the last ice age 15,000 years ago, researchers have found.Propelled by a change in winds and currents towards the end of the Pleistocene epoch (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago), the salty stream snaked around the tip of Africa in an inflow of water known as the Agulhas Leakage, which merges with the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic.

Israel Sebastian/getty images HAVE you ever stopped to consider the technological marvel that is the humble kitchen sponge? Liquids tend to be unruly, sploshy things, but, with a quick swipe, a sponge can soak up and transport them to wherever they are needed. It would all be rather miraculous were it not so familiar. But here’s a question that is a little more out of the ordinary: could we make a liquid sponge? It would be kind of like the household variety, only it would suck up gases instead of liquids and it could be pumped over vast distances. That…
