There are currently no widely approved treatments or vaccines for the disease. Now, scientists at Scripps Research have determined the structure of the critical protein complex that lets Lassa virus infect human cells. The research, published online in Cell Reports, also identified new antibodies that…
It was a busy television season when it came to departures and exits. We lost many beloved characters in various ways, but a consistent pattern was for those departures to be underwhelming, disappointing, and downright offensive. Whether the reasonings didn’t make sense, the behavior felt “out of character,” or the methods lacked originality, our TV Fanatics had much to say about their worst character departures of the 2022-23 season. So check out our list below, and hit the comments with your reactions! 1. Helen Ghosts Max Via Letter – New Amsterdam It felt like New Amsterdam Season 5, the final…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Under intense political pressure, the aviation industry has set itself a daunting challenge to decarbonize flying by 2050, and has laid out a road map to get there through technological innovation. For environmentalists, especially in Europe, that prolonged switch to clean energy technology is not good enough. “It takes decades to get there, but there’s a real plan,” Airbus Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury told journalists at an event just before the Paris Air Show opened. “It’s actually incredibly exciting times to be in aviation.” With the world’s fleet of airplanes projected to double in just…

As a beauty editor, I’m often asked for my signature scent. Whilst some have a shelf full of fragrances that they rotate throughout the seasons, I wear my go-to throughout the year for almost every occasion. I like a fresh scent that isn’t too sweet or heavy—it needs to blend well with everything (should I want to layer it) and be noticeable but not overpowering. So once I discovered Molton Brown’s Heavenly Gingerlily, which achieves all of the above, I never looked back. Light with delicate florals, this scent has been a bestseller for the brand for over 20 years.…

It took 13 years for James Cameron to make Avatar: The Way of Water. It only took me six months to find Avatar: The Way of Water cereal. So the way I see it, I’m actually ahead of schedule.“Pandora Flakes,” as the box calls them, were introduced last year during the frenzy of hype surrounding the long-awaited Avatar sequel. For whatever reason, I never saw them in any of my local grocery stores during The Way of Water’s theatrical release. But last weekend, I popped my head into a dollar store that was going out of business, and wouldn’t you know it? There, amongst the discounted soaps and knockoff toys,…

The US government could run out of money as early as next week if lawmakers in Washington DC fail to reach an agreement to increase the federal debt limit. If the worst happens, economists warn, it would be the first time in history that the government has defaulted on paying its loans, and it could throw the country — and possibly the world — into financial turmoil. Also hanging in the balance, as politicians haggle over government spending, is a decade of funding for research and innovation, and many science advocates fear that budget cuts are inevitable. “I’ve come to…

His latest, All the Sinners Bleed (Flatiron Books), is just his fourth published novel.…

A portable, touchscreen monitor is a niche product, but could be a handy solution for those who require the extra screen real estate on the move. The use case for such a device could be anything from enabling touch controls for a laptop or desktop that doesn’t have a touchscreen, dual-screen connectivity on the go, or generally having a larger screen to use with a compact laptop as needed. One such product that fits this description is the ViewSonic TD1655 15.6-inch portable touch monitor, which I’m reviewing here.Priced at Rs. 33,500 officially (but available for as low as Rs. 23,999 online), the ViewSonic…

There is a massive, mineral-rich region in the Pacific Ocean — about twice the size of India — called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which has already been divided up and assigned to companies for future deep-sea mining. To better understand what may be at risk once companies start mining, a team of biologists has built the first “CCZ checklist” by compiling all the species records from previous research expeditions to the region. Their estimates of the species diversity of the CCZ, publishing in the journal Current Biology on May 25, included a total of 5,578 different species found in the…
Magnum P.I.’s return is being cut short. NBC has opted to cancel Magnum P.I. following the second half of Magnum P.I. Season 5.
