The mercury is expected to soar again with highs of 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) forecast for this weekend. A densely-populated concrete jungle lacking in green space, Athens has become one of Europe’s hottest capitals and despite its vulnerability to extreme temperatures, has failed to make environmental innovations, experts warn. Residents and visitors have sweated through a scorching week in the Greek capital, only finding respite on cafe terraces in the evening. And the mercury is expected to soar again with highs of 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) forecast for this weekend, prompting authorities to partially close the Acropolis and…
Finding the 22-foot-long Titan submersible, which went missing on June 18, is a desperate race against time. The craft, powered by four electric thrusters that move it at a maximum speed of 3 knots, lost contact with its surface vessel, the Polar Prince, around 105 minutes into a dive. The Titan was headed for the wreckage of the Titanic, roughly 375 nautical miles from Newfoundland, Canada. If the sub is still intact, those aboard have only two days of air left.Five people are crammed into the craft: Stockton Rush, president and founder of OceanGate, the submarine exploration company that operates…

While House of the Dragon managed to continue filming abroad amid the SAG-AFTRA strike, Interview With the Vampire has been halted in Prague. Deadline revealed Monday morning that the AMC vampire drama has paused production until the strike is resolved. The news is a bit surprising in the wake of the House of the Dragon Season 2 shoot resuming, but Deadline notes that some of the cast filming Interview With the Vampire Season 2 are SAG members. It’s unclear how far the series based on the Anne Rice novels was in the production process, but it had been filming since…
Scientists have been worried about the potential harms of microplastics for years. These small plastic particles less than 5 mm in length have been found everywhere because of plastic pollution — from the Earth’s deep oceans to remote regions in Antarctica, and even the seafood we eat. But, are microplastics really harmful? An international team of scientists, including researchers from McGill University, have found evidence that microplastics in the digestive tract of seabirds altered the microbiome of the gut — increasing the presence of pathogens and antibiotic-resistant microbes, while decreasing the beneficial bacteria found in the intestines. “Our findings reflect…

Founded in Paris in 1847, what once was a small workshop has gone on to become one of the, if not the, most iconic jewellery brands in history. Cartier worked closely with countless sovereigns and royal families worldwide, creating everything from crowns and tiaras to necklaces and earrings. The brand has since become a regular on the red carpet, with celebrities wearing its glittering creations for premieres, award season and industry events. However, Cartier isn’t all about ornate pieces. (Though, it does them exceptionally well.) Some of its most recognisable jewellery, particularly the pieces that have become status symbols, have an industrial…

This series is special because it focuses more on the healthy, comical friendships of the characters rather than forcing them into relationships. Of course, there are a few exceptions. At the beginning of the series, Keeley (Juno Temple) is dating Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster), with the two quite the dysfunctional, flashy couple. She soon realizes how selfish he is and breaks up with him. One of Jamie’s teammates, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), though not showing obvious interest, seems to have a soft spot for Keeley, and the two share sweet little interactions. After the breakup, Roy and Keeley slowly but…
In July, a puzzling new image of a distant extreme star system surrounded by surreal concentric geometric rungs had even astronomers scratching their heads. The picture, which looks like a kind of “cosmic thumbprint”, came from the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s newest flagship observatory.The internet immediately lit up with theories and speculation. Some on the wild fringe even claimed it as evidence for “alien megastructures” of unknown origin.Luckily, our team at the University of Sydney had already been studying this very star, known as WR140, for more than 20 years – so we were in a prime position to…

If there is one thing you can expect Steven Soderbergh to do, it’s something unexpected.

This show was never announced until a few days ago — and it’s already available to watch in full via Soderbergh’s own website.The series is called Command Z and stars Michael Cera, Liev Schreiber, Roy Wood Jr. and Kevin Pollak, and it’s a…
Chunyu Wang, Ph.D., professor of biological sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has added to his body of research on Alzheimer’s disease with significant findings in Angewandte Chemie. Together with his team, which includes first author and Rensselaer doctoral student Dylan Mah, Wang performed the most comprehensive study to date of the interactions between ApoE, or Apolipoprotein E, and heparan sulfate (HS). ApoE is a protein that combines with fats to transport cholesterol throughout the body. Heparan sulfate is a sugar molecule present on cell surfaces that plays a key role in cellular communication. A variant of ApoE, ApoE4, is the most…

Ron Perlman said he got “heated” with a previous social-media message to studio executives — one exec in particular — but pleaded for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) to show a “degree of humanity” in its dispute with the actors and writers currently on strike. On Friday, the Sons of Anarchy actor addressed the anonymous studio executive who told Deadline last week that the AMPTP’s endgame — amid the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and Writers Guild of America (WGA) strikes — “is to allow things to drag on until union…
An illustration of fusobacterium, which may cause endometriosisScience Photo Library/Alamy Infections with a bacteria that contributes to gum disease may cause endometriosis, a condition in which tissues lining the uterus grow outside of it and form painful lesions. The finding suggests antibiotics could prevent or treat the condition. Yutaka Kondo at Nagoya University in Japan and his colleagues examined endometrial tissue samples from 28 women, half of whom were diagnosed with endometriosis. Genetic analysis of the samples revealed abnormalities in cells called fibroblasts, which form connective tissues. These fibroblasts had increased activity in 13 genes compared with those from people…

Flea has always been one of the more distinctive looking musicians in rock, but in the band’s early days one of his more iconic looks was rocking an instantly noticeable pair of baggy pants made out of stuffed animals. While many will recall his guest turn rocking a killer bass line along with those stylish pants in Young MC’s “Bust a Move” video, you can also see him donning the pants in Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Higher Ground” and “Behind the Sun” videos as well. So what happened to those pants? Sadly, Flea revealed they were stolen upon being asked…
The Marvels star Brie Larson has discussed her character’s absence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following the events of Avengers: Endgame.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actress described Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers as a “workaholic” who “lost touch” with herself and her allies, explaining the character’s absence during major moments in the MCU. “The way I was able to tap into it and understand it is the concept that Carol kind of became a workaholic, and she lost touch with her heart and with family and friends,” Larson explained.…

After nearly two decades of listening, astronomers are finally starting to “hear” the rumbles of gravitational waves they believe emanate from the behemoths of our universe: supermassive black holes. The result comes from a National Science Foundation–sponsored initiative known as the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav). Since 2004 NANOGrav has monitored metronomelike flashes of light from a Milky Way–spanning network of dead stars known as pulsars. Forged from the hearts of exploding massive stars, these city-size orbs weigh as much as an entire sun and can spin thousands of times per second. This makes them remarkably accurate…
