It’s a nightmare for any dog or cat owner: suddenly developing an allergy to their pet. Belly rubs and cuddles bring red eyes and a runny nose. Some people can no longer even be in the same room as a pet without their respiratory system sounding the alarm. Medical professionals’ advice in such cases is unanimous: it’s best to find the animal a new home because the odds of an allergy disappearing are extremely low. In fact, living with the animal increases the risk that allergic rhinitis, commonly known as “hay fever,” will turn into more serious allergic asthma. But…

I understand writers might prefer to take a deep literary approach when working on their manuscripts, but being hard to read doesn’t always reflect a more meaningful work of literature or worthy read. In certain circumstances, especially in texts that are meant to educate people or give them some enlightenment on a specific theme, using easily accessible vocabulary is actually a must. In the case of…
No matter how much you might spend on it, there’s something about shampoo that always feels like the most basic step of your hair routine. After all, sudsing up in the shower just isn’t that exciting—it’s the masks, hair oils and styling products that bring the fun later. While I am partial to a more expensive shampoo-and-conditioner duo, if you’re looking to save some money, this is the place in your hair routine where I often recommend cutting costs, leaving you to invest more in your styling products instead. As a beauty editor, I have tested a lot of shampoos…

NBC’s Chicago Med is saying goodbye to another original star. Chicago Med Season 8 concluded with Nick Gehlfuss departing as Dr. Will Halstead. The good news? A pre-planned goodbye brought Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) into the fold. If you watch Chicago Med online, you know the big episode wrapped up with Will and Natalie back together. It’s rare on TV nowadays to give characters a satisfying conclusion, but bringing Natalie back helped soften the blow of Will’s departure. It brought both arcs full circle in ways many didn’t think possible. Gehlfuss opened up about exiting the series in an…
The ingredients for planet formation have turned up in part of a nearby galaxy where it was thought planets might not emerge. The discovery, reported on April 24 in Nature Astronomy and made using NASA’s hugely powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), suggests that planet formation may be more common throughout the Universe than previously thought. “I’ve waited a long time to be able to do these observations,” says Olivia Jones, an astrophysicist at the UK Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh and the lead author of the study. “It’s not been possible to do them before.” The findings follow a flood of discoveries enabled by JWST, which launched…

Meanwhile, demand is rising for magnets embedded in the tools of decarbonization, such as cars and wind turbines. Currently, 12 percent of rare earths go into EVs, according to Adamas Intelligence, a market that’s just now taking off. At the same time, rare earth prices have recently whiplashed due to internal Chinese markets and political interventions that outside companies cannot always predict. All in all, if you’re in a business where you can make an alternative work, it probably makes sense to do so, says Jim Chelikowsky, a physicist who studies magnetic materials at the University of Texas, Austin. But there are all…

Billowing flames and clouds of smoke are typical for rocket launches. Destroyed launchpads and wreckage strewn far and wide across surrounding wetlands, however, are most definitely not. Then again, the April 20 test flight of SpaceX’s gigantic Starship—the largest vehicle ever flown—was no typical rocket launch. Expectations for Starship are sky-high because SpaceX intends the system’s unprecedented power and planned routine reusability to revolutionize spaceflight itself while also landing NASA astronauts on the moon as early as 2025. But the bar was much lower for this test flight, which sought to send Starship on a near loop of Earth: SpaceX…
Country singer Jimmie Allen is being sued for sexual assault and sexual abuse by his former day-to-day manager. The woman filing the lawsuit is doing so anonymously, identifying herself as “Jane Doe.” Allen, 37, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2021 to promote his children’s book My Voice Is a Trumpet. During the appearance, he shared photos of his then-wife, Alexis Gale, and daughters.

Drones in flight and robotic arms can now be controlled via the ChatGPT chatbotWestend61/Getty images Microsoft says it has used the natural language AI ChatGPT to control a range of robots with simple text commands.

ChatGPT was created by OpenAI, an AI company that is itself partly owned by Microsoft. … Read The Full Article Here

Meanwhile, at the Capitol, when they’re not fuming, lawmakers are befuddled.“This is a serious situation. You just can’t let someone like this have access to this kind of classified information, and, if you do, you ought to at least use technology to block that person from being able to share it,” says Senator John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican. “I mean, most of us can put controls on the internet to stop our kids from looking at pornography, for God’s sake. How hard is that?”Pentagon officials are promising members of Congress another briefing in early June. In the meantime, lawmakers fear…

China’s population has fallen after decades of sky-high growth. This major shift in the world’s most populous country would be a big deal by itself, but China’s hardly alone in its declining numbers: despite the momentous occasion of the global population surpassing eight billion late last year, the United Nations predicts dozens of countries will have shrinking populations by 2050. This is good news. Considering no other large animal’s population has grown as much, as quickly or as devastatingly for other species as ours, we should all be celebrating population decline. Declining populations will ease the pressure eight billion people…

Fashion’s love affair with leggings plays out like a dramatic Netflix rom-com; there have been highs, which, of course, bring with them the lows, but in the end, you know they’re meant to be together. After reaching something of a sartorial peak in the ’80s and early ’90s, leggings fell out of favour, replaced by other stylish trouser options, such as low-rise jeans, parachute pants, and pedal pushers. What a time it was to get dressed! Then, we witnessed a legging resurgence in the early ’00s by way of leather-look styles and jeggings. Now, however, we’ve settled into a significantly chicer…

The Hubble Space Telescope may have just found a rare “missing link” black hole hiding in Earth’s cosmic backyard.Located roughly 6,000 light-years away at the core of the nearby star cluster Messier 4, the intermediate-mass black hole candidate is an ultradense region of space packed with the mass of 800 suns, causing nearby stars to orbit it like “bees swarming around a hive,” according to the researchers who detected it.”It’s too tiny for us to be able to explain other than it being a single black hole,” study lead-author Eduardo Vitral, an astrophysicist at the Space Telescope Science Institute in…
