Picture an aircraft streaking across the sky at hundreds of miles per hour, unleashing millions of laser pulses into a dense tropical forest. The objective: map thousands of square miles, including the ground beneath the canopy, in fine detail within a matter of days.Once the stuff of science fiction, aerial lidar — light detection and ranging — is transforming how archaeologists map sites.

Warner Bros. Television When it comes to the perennially popular NBC sitcom “Friends,” there are numerous elements within its iconography that immediately pop out to viewers. Some may acknowledge the Central Perk coffee house logo as a standout, but the hairstyle of Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) is notable for establishing major fashion trends. And surprisingly, “The Rachel” was the result of a complete accident. Jennifer Aniston was asked about her character’s notable hairstyle in an interview with Radio Times in 1997, to which she dismissed all the long-running fan discourse surrounding…
Perhaps I’m just a worrywart, but in the hypothetical event I decided to raise a chimpanzee as a member of my family, I would be inclined to put some measures into place in case of an emergency. Even the friendliest pet dog can unexpectedly turn on its master – imagine what a primate weighing around 40 kilos in possession of a 1,300 PSI bite force and opposable thumbs might be able to do in a bad mood. Not having any provisional plan for a chimp attack when there is a chimp regularly toddling around your home is gross negligence. Anyway, meet the Pinborough family, who live in a swanky glass house overlooking…

It seems as if every day we tap our phones awake, we are greeted with yet another buzzy, and extremely fleeting, beauty trend. Dirty martini nails! Nina Park lips! The bubble blowout! It’s no secret that the beauty trend cycle is microscopic, but the one facet of our faces that is (only slightly) less susceptible to this ever-changing sequence is our brows.According to our calculations, eyebrow trends seem to be the least frequent to come and go—though when they do, they make a cultural statement. Think of the nineties and early aughts skinny brow—a style advised against by everyone who…
Same as the Five Senses deck above, this scratch-off card set happens in sequence, with optional “level up” cards to really push intimacy, and separate cards for each partner with secret directions. For this date, you’ll both bring a red item that you show at certain points to signify that you’re open to physical touch. Then you’ll go out to dinner and have intentional conversation, and every time a partner pulls out the red item, you’ll follow the prompts to initiate increasingly intimate physical acts, ranging from hand holding to neck kisses. So there we were, at Illegal Taqueria, edging…

There’s a lever on the back for this compression mechanism that you manually press down and a separate button to open the dustbin at the bottom. You can use the compression lever when it’s both closed and open. It did help compress the hair and dust while I was vacuuming, helping me see if I had really filled the bin, though at a certain point it doesn’t compress much more. It was helpful to push debris out if needed too, versus the times I’ve had to stick my hand in both the Dyson and Shark to get the stuck hair…

What scientists warn about with this next generation of bots is different — trained to impersonate real humans and flock en masse as if they belonged to an organic movement, they will adaptively target human users, spread false narratives and influence opinion.But it…

Biologist George Church maintains a list of potentially beneficial gene variantsDON EMMERT/AFP via Getty Images “Why should only the tall have access to tall genes? And why should only the smart have access to smart genes?… our goal is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to choose their genes for themselves (and their descendants) rather than simply accept inherited genetic inequality. Because genetics shouldn’t be a lottery.” That’s the pitch of Bootstrap Bio, a start-up openly aiming to one day offer would-be parents the chance to genetically enhance their children. I’d say the children of anyone who…
