Netflix’s previous record for series longevity was held by Grace and Frankie, which concluded its run on the streaming service last year after seven seasons and 94 episodes. (Netflix doesn’t let shows hang around; few of their series, even popular ones, stretch on past three or four years.) That record will soon be broken, as the streaming service has just given the go-ahead to Nick Kroll’s Big Mouth for an eighth and final season, due in 2024.Here was Kroll’s comment on the news:If you would have told adolescent Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg that middle school would take 8 years to finish, they would…

If anything, the month is getting a bit too packed with holidays and celebrations, but I won’t complain. Speaking…

Natural disasters can devastate a region, abruptly killing the species that form an ecosystem’s structure. But how this transpires can influence recovery. While fires scorch the landscape to the ground, a heatwave leaves an army of wooden staves in its wake. Storm surges and coral bleaching do something similar underwater. UC Santa Barbara scientists investigated how these two kinds of disturbances might affect coral reefs. They found that coral struggles more to recover from bleaching than from storms, even when mortality was similar between the two events. The skeletons left behind after bleaching appear to offer protection to algae, which…
Using SLAC’s X-ray laser, researchers have finally seen the process by which nature creates the oxygen we breathe. Credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in shaping and sustaining life on Earth, yet many aspects of the process remain a mystery. One such mystery is how photosystem II, a protein complex in plants, algae and cyanobacteria, harvests energy from sunlight and uses it to split water, producing the oxygen we breathe. Now researchers from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, together with collaborators from Uppsala University and Humboldt University…
Ashley Graham and husband Justin Ervin were spotted out in New York City the day after the 2023 Met Gala looking cozy and stylish. Graham, 35, was not about to let up on her Chanel accessories just yet, given the ball’s theme that paid ode to Karl Lagerfeld’s creations. She toted a quilted denim chain-strap flap bag and slipped into her crystalized logo Gucci slingbacks, which peeked out from under her flares. The supermodel’s Jean Paul Gaultier ribbed sweater set is a different conversation in itself — with holes diagonally placed across the chest to reveal a mesh bra and…
For nearly five decades, the Force has been strong. From the time George Lucas released Star Wars in 1977, the franchise has been all but made of Teflon. Fans bicker, to the point of toxicity, but even during the much maligned prequel phase, people have returned to the galaxy far, far away time and again. Star Wars remains fascinating, making it hard to stay away. Yet in recent years, there’s been a disturbance. Following Disney’s $4 billion acquisition of Lucasfilm, the Star Wars franchise ballooned. Between the new movie trilogy, which began in 2015 with Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens, the theme park attractions,…

In a recent interview with Total Film, Ford confirmed Dial of Destiny is “the final film in the series” and “the last time [he’ll] play the character.” Ford then added “I anticipate that it will be the last time that he appears in…

The scientists designed a special cell in order to observe the transport of lithium-ions between the anode and the cathode in a solid-state Lithium-Sulfur battery. Since lithium can hardly be detected with x-ray methods, HZB physicists Dr. Robert Bradbury and Dr. Ingo Manke examined the sample cell with neutrons, which are extremely sensitive to lithium. In conjunction with Dr. Nikolay Kardjilov, HZB, they used neutron radiography and neutron tomography methods on the CONRAD2 instrument at the Berlin neutron source BER II1. Groups from Giessen (JLU), Braunschweig (TUBS) and Jülich (FZJ) were also involved in the work. Lithium ions observed directly…

Let’s say you don’t need to fly quite so far. What about a jet engine? These are the things you mainly see on commercial airliners, but very small jet engines can also be used to make a real-life jetpack.Just like rockets, jet engines produce thrust by shooting mass out the back, which is mostly just air. The energy comes from combusting jet fuel, which is similar to kerosene and is made from petroleum. The increase in the momentum of this ejected matter produces a forward-pushing force.There is a big difference though: The jet engine sucks air in through the front…
Back in the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, Keanu Reeves co-founded and played bass in a grunge band called Dogstar. After quietly reuniting last summer, the group has announced they will be “rolling out some new music” this summer, to be followed by some live shows. Last week, they shared a preview of a rooftop photoshoot on Instagram, and apparently, the reception was so strong that Dogstar couldn’t wait to share more news. “Thank you everyone for the kind comments. We are overjoyed to see such a response!” they wrote in the comments of the post. “Honestly, didn’t expect this.…

Astronomers using the Gemini South telescope in Chile, operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, have observed the first compelling evidence of a dying sun-like star engulfing an exoplanet. The “smoking gun” of this event was seen in a long and low-energy outburst from the star—the telltale signature of a planet skimming along a star’s surface. This never-before-seen process may herald the ultimate fate of Earth when our own sun nears the end of its life in about five billion years. Credit: International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/M. Garlick/M. Zamani By studying countless stars at various stages of their evolution, astronomers have been able to piece…

Protein plaques in the brain may be caused by failing mitochondriaSebastian Kaulitzki/Alamy IF YOU own a car, you will have noticed the engine getting less efficient with time. The further you drive it, the more fuel it takes to make the same journey – until, eventually, it becomes so underpowered that it needs a physical push to climb even a gentle hill. Now, it is emerging that much the same is true of the human brain. Microscopic structures called mitochondria, found in every brain cell, are quite literally the engines of our thoughts and feelings. As we age, they find it…
