Energy-efficient ways of cooling buildings and vehicles will be required in a changing climate. Researchers at Linköping University have now shown that electrical tuning of passive radiative cooling can be used to control temperatures of a material at ambient temperatures and air pressure. “To cool buildings, for example, traditional air conditioning is mainly used today, which requires large amounts of energy and uses environmentally hazardous refrigerants. With the help of passive radiative cooling, the cold of outer space could be used to complement normal ACs and reduce energy consumption,” says Magnus Jonsson, professor and leader of the Organic Photonics and…

Netflix’s teen drama Outer Banks is back for its third season. And although there are many burning questions that need to be answered, we can’t help but just be excited to see our favorite familiar faces again.

Do you guys love science fiction?Stahelski: I’m always big on sci-fi. Like, John Wick is hyperreal. But it’s also got this analog sense. Old computers, old suits, old stuff.Reeves: I’m interested in the storytelling of humans and their interactions with technologies.Keanu, years ago you put a clause in your contracts saying that your performances couldn’t be manipulated without your say-so. Isn’t that right?Reeves: Yeah, digitally. I don’t mind if someone takes a blink out during an edit. But early on, in the early 2000s, or it might have been the ’90s, I had a performance changed.

De La Soul could cap an eventful stretch with a career-best U.K. chart position for the hip-hop legends’ 3 Feet High and Rising (via Chrysalis). At the midweek point, De La Soul’s 1989 debut LP blasts to No. 5, well ahead of its No. 13 peak from January 1990 and a potential career high. A top 5 appearance would cap a particularly eventful stretch for the Grammy Award-winning trio, which lost its founding member Trugoy the Dove (born David Jude Jolicoeur) last month, at the age of 54. The rush for 3 Feet High and Rising is powered by streaming,…
If you turn on The Mandalorian Season 3 having skipped The Book of Boba Fett, you will undoubtedly be confused. At the end of Season 2, Mando went one way and Grogu went another — off to train to be a Jedi with none other than Luke Skywalker. Training to be a Jedi is a major commitment, one that would supposedly keep the Mandalorian and his little Yoda buddy from seeing each other again. And yet when Season 3 begins, as evidenced by the series’ latest trailer, Mando and Grogu are back together.That’s because the characters’ entire status quo was reset during the spinoff Star Wars…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Vanishing Neighbor? I was reading a lot of domestic thrillers, and the thought kept popping up that I could do this, and maybe in a new and better way. I wanted Grace’s story to be incredibly fast-paced, as I sometimes would read books and find myself losing interest. I came up with the idea of Grace, a woman who’s trying to fit into a new neighborhood, so she hosts a party, but then her neighbor goes missing at the party. From there, the story took on a life…
Aerogel that will be used to stabilize the fission fuel in the new FFRE. Credit: NASA / Ryan Weed Novel propulsion ideas for moving around space seem like they’re a dime a dozen recently. Besides the typical argument between solar sails and chemical propulsion lies a potential third way—a nuclear rocket engine. While we’ve discussed them here at UT before, NASA’s Institute of Advanced Concepts has provided a grant to a company called Positron Dynamics for the development of a novel type of nuclear fission fragment rocket engine (FFRE). It could strike the balance between the horsepower of chemical engines…
It was a much lighter installment, and in some ways, it felt a bit more hopeful. There were many moments during Station 19 Season 6 Episode 9 that felt like a well earned reprieve from some of the heaviness during much of the season. It definitely was a much lighter installment after the raw developments from Station 19 Season 4 Episode 8. Keeping with the lighter note, the most action we saw in the field was Eli shadowing Andy and Travis on a call that involved bickering teenagers, a stabbed mascot, and Eli taking some more beatings. It was what…
As the temperatures drop and we start hunkering down and spending cosy evenings indoors, the issue of what to wear when we do venture outside has become a top priority. It’s too cold for the trench coats and leggings we wore throughout autumn, but it’s also deceptively bright and fresh outside, so what to wear in winter has become a hot topic in the Who What Wear office, and we’re pleased to say we’ve finally cracked the code.Whether you’re planning a well-earned staycation, gearing up for Christmas or simply getting ready for winter in the city, daily outfit deliberation is frankly an…
The Web3 sector in India is looking at expansion with bundles of profits ready to befall the country’s economy in the coming years. In a new report, Nasscom said that the Indian economy is expected to gain over a trillion dollars from the Web3 industry through the next decade. The estimate has also reportedly been seconded by the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF). As per various reports, the boom of Web3 in India is being brought in by the engineering talent that makes India’s supply-gap the lowest in comparison with the US, UK, and China.In recent years, many Indian Web3…
Roger Waters, ever at odds with his former band Pink Floyd, has shared a sample of music from his controversial re-recording of the classic rock act’s The Dark Side of the Moon — an in-studio excerpt of his new version of “Us and Them.”Word first emerged last month that Waters re-recorded the entire Pink Floyd album. He also plans to release a new solo album he made during COVID-19 lockdowns. The Dark Side of the Moon, released in March 1973, celebrates its 50th anniversary this month.Hear the sample near the bottom of this post.”When we recorded the stripped down songs for the Lockdown Sessions, the 50th anniversary…
The Mandalorian is back.As of early this morning Season 3 of the hit Star Wars show has begun. The season premiere is now available on Disney+.Dubbed “The Apostate,” the episode — the 17th “chapter” overall in The Mandalorian saga — was directed by Mandalorian veteran Rick Famuyiwa and written by series creator Jon Favreau. The title refers to the fact that Din Djarin removed his helmet on the previous season of the show, which means he has violated “The Creed” of the Mandalorian order. Therefore, he has been cast out of his Mandalorian sect. The only way he can redeem himself, according to tradition is by…
Giving experiences like ice skating as gifts and cutting down on food waste will keep your Christmas greenMassimo Borchi/Atlantide Phototravel/Getty IT’S the most wonderful time of the year, but it could still use some improvement. Christmas often brings a mix of joy, excitement and last-minute shopping panic, but it is also a time of reflection for many people, an opportunity to stand back and dwell on what really matters. The past year has been a wake-up call about the state of the planet, with record-breaking heatwaves and wildfires highlighting the perils of climate change, and China’s restrictions on rubbish imports…

Old age is a culmination of experience. At 83, Margaret Atwood has seen more than her fair share of good fortune and tragedy to know a thing or two about the subject. In her first collection of short stories since 2014, Old Babes in the Wood (Penguin Random House), Atwood fully…
Headaches are extremely common and they can take many forms, ranging from mild to debilitating and lasting minutes to days. When your cranium is in pain, it’s easy to think your brain tissue itself must be hurting. But that’s not likely. Ironically, the brain senses pain throughout the body, but doesn’t actually have its own pain receptors. So why, then, do headaches hurt?Headaches can stem from an underlying medical condition, for instance, swollen sinuses, low blood sugar or a head injury. But broadly speaking, most headaches arise due to “referred pain,” meaning you feel the pain in a different place than…
Matt’s Rating: Three years ago, I championed HBO’s bold decision to reinvent Erle Stanley Gardner’s iconic hero Perry Mason as a downtrodden, chronically rumpled gumshoe turned lawyer in Depression-era L.A. (Many viewers, and readers, disagreed, unwilling to abandon the stalwart image of Raymond Burr’s infallible, unflappable attorney from the 1950s and ’60s, still a favorite in reruns.) As played with forlorn pugnacity by Matthew Rhys, as if channeling the cinematic spirits of Bogart and Mitchum, the new/old Perry Mason felt like he fit into the film noir world of legends like Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe. Perry’s first-season redemption arc…

But even with classic wardrobe staples, trends come and go. While denim does, indeed, stand apart with the notion that a straight fit in a true-blue colorway will remain in favor, there are certainly head-turning cuts, of-the-moment silhouettes, and specific decades-old washes that cycle in and out of style. And modern touches (for…
Like Valkyrie, Osprey has called on Grayscale to step down as sponsor and put itself forward as a replacement. In an open letter, Osprey CEO Greg King promised to cut the management fee by 75 percent, seek immediately to implement a redemption program, and collaborate with regulators instead of pursuing litigation.The Fir Tree and Osprey lawsuits were described by Jennifer Rosenthal, vice president of communications at Grayscale, as “baseless” and “frivolous,” respectively. “We remain steadfast in our belief that the conversion of GBTC to an ETF is the best long-term product structure for investors, and are 100 percent committed to that…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Unpyre Revelations (Unpyre Chronicles Book One )? I started the planning of the book shortly after I’d finished my first series (Merlyn Academy). I really wanted to experiment with a dual point of view and my two main characters, Tia and Chyros, just jumped out for me. They were a welcome distraction from the on and off lockdowns!

Insects play crucial roles in almost every ecosystem — they pollinate more than 80% of plants and are a major source of food for thousands of vertebrate species — but insect populations are collapsing around the globe, and they continue to be overlooked by conservation efforts. Protected areas can safeguard threatened species but only if these threatened species actually live within the areas we protect. A new study publishing on February 1 in the journal One Earth found that 76% of insect species are not adequately covered by protected areas. “It’s high time we considered insects in conservation assessments,” says…

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has renamed the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark -III as Launch Vehicle Mark-III, mainly to identify its task of placing satellites into a variety of orbits. The LVM3 rocket will also be used for India’s maiden human space flight tentatively scheduled for late 2024 and is also emerging as a favourite for ISRO’s commercial launches after the successful placing in orbits of 36 OneWeb satellites on Sunday.”Earlier, the launch vehicles were named for a specific purpose, such as PSLV for putting polar satellites in orbit or GSLV for geostationary satellites,” a senior ISRO official…

Sun dogs You aren’t seeing triple. Sun dogs, brightly coloured blobs of light sometimes visible on either side of the sun (pictured above), are really mirror images of our star. They appear when it is cold enough for tiny ice crystals to be present in the atmosphere. The illusion is the result of sunlight bending or refracting through these floating crystals, which act as prisms. Consequently, sun dogs are rainbow-hued: the inner edges, closer to the sun, are tinged with shades of red, while the outer edges are blue. They belong to a group of optical phenomena called halos,…
