One of these forces is gravity that, for example, keeps us revolving around the sun and be able to enjoy the four seasons. Another one is the electromagnetic force that benefits…

Welcome to the future, where clean air is a luxury. From pandemics to wildfires, air purifiers have become the gotta-have-it home appliance. Buildings let in a lot of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and vaporous chemicals. Indoor plastics, furniture, paint, and flooring off-gas noxious fumes too. There’s also evidence that air filters can help clean Covid-causing virus particles from the air. Since your home might be your workplace, playground, meditation studio, dine-in restaurant, neighborhood bar, refuge, or movie theater, you want to ensure that the air you’re breathing for most of the day is clean. These are our top air purifiers.…

Her first ruler eclipses the No. 2 peaks of “Good Days” (2020), her featured credit on Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” (2021) and Summer Walker co-bill “No Love” (2021). “Bill” is the first non-holiday song to reign on Streaming Songs past the first week of December (and before January) since 2018, when Ariana Grande‘s “Thank U, Next” ruled…
In Stan Lee’s How to Draw Superheroes, the co-creator of some of the most famous bad guys in Marvel history wrote that “there is no such thing as a villain.”“Each and every villain in comics, in movies, in novels — and especially in real life,” he added, “thinks of him- or herself as the good guy. The hero.” That’s probably true. But in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there are many villains. True to Lee‘s perspective — which helped shaped Marvel in the first place — a fair number of them do not consider themselves to be villains. A character like Thanos truly believes that…

Typical features of hibernation include greatly reduced metabolic activity and lowered body temperature. As warm-blooded animals, primates (except lemurs) do not naturally hibernate or even experience torpor. But can we manipulate the body temperature of primates and make them fall into a hypometabolic state or even artificial hibernation? A research team led by Dr. Wang Hong and Dr. Dai Ji from the Shenzhen…

WIRED has written frequently of late about Elon Musk’s Twitter, so forgive me for coming back to it—but for those of us as terminally online as I am, let me just ask: What the hell happened last weekend?I woke up on Sunday morning to learn that Twitter was going to block all mentions of, or links to, “competing” services, from Instagram to Facebook, to Linktree of all places. It was claimed to be about “preventing free advertising” of the platform’s competitors and to “cut down on spam.” Of course, anyone with two neurons to rub together could tell that this…

Sony’s DualSense Edge is the company’s first shot at making an internal pro controller. However, this PlayStation 5 pad won’t be superior to the base DualSense in every single way. According to a statement provided to The Verge, the Edge will have a “moderately shorter” battery life when compared to the regular DualSense because it has “many more features within the same form factor and ergonomic design.” Sony also pointed out that it has a longer braided USB cable (that can also be locked into the controller), which will also help preserve energy. It’s unclear how these extra features will…

Brené Brown, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and Dare to Lead, has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy as a research professor at the University of Houston. And now she has entered into a new endeavor, “Unlocking Us,” a podcast featuring “conversations that unlock the deeply human part of who we are, so we can live, love, parent, and lead with more courage and heart.” Brown’s message is one of self-acceptance and authenticity, living and being unapologetically in the world. Says Brown, “Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process…
A third season with bright, bold, bubbly Emily Cooper? That’s like renewing the best virtual tour of Paris with a highly poised guide. “Emily’s graduated to a new level of confidence,” says Emily in Paris star Lily Collins.

Every year the remains of bizarre ocean creatures wash ashore on beaches across the globe, revealing clues about the lives of some of the most elusive and mysterious creatures on Earth.

Photography by Sarah Silver Natasha Boateng decides it’s time to deal with her dermatosis papulosa nigra, a benign skin condition that results in dark, often-raised spots. By Natasha Boateng Date November 22, 2022 “You have something on your face; let me get it for you,” someone would say. Or “Wow, I don’t remember you having so many beauty marks!” These are just a sampling of the comments I’ve gotten over the years about the small, often-raised brown-black dots scattered in a freckle-like pattern on my cheeks, temples and jawline that began popping up one by one when I was in…
At the height of summer—on August 15 to be precise—6 million people visited Quincy’s Tavern, a steampunk-inspired venue with bottles and brews lining the walls and ambient yellow lighting behind the bar. This would be far too many customers for a regular, brick-and-mortar bar to deal with, but thankfully Quincy’s Tavern exists in an intangible realm between two worlds: the internet and people’s imaginations. It’s a realm with a growing population and an ever-expanding map. It’s TikTok in 2022, a place where you could step into a fantasy tavern, a childhood dream, or your favorite book or film with a flick…
The Cramps‘ 1981 recording of “Goo Goo Muck” became an out-of-left field success story in November after its use in a dance scene in the hit Netflix series Wednesday helped a new generation discover the song, first released in 1962 by Ronnie Cook and the Gaylads. Music trends, created by viral hits on TikTok and YouTube, are unpredictable, though. As soon as “Goo Goo Muck” was enjoying its newfound fame, along came “Bloody Mary,” a deep cut from Lady Gaga‘s 2011 album Born This Way. Fans inspired by the Wednesday scene uploaded videos of themselves performing the dance to TikTok…
Dwayne Johnson has given fans an update on Black Adam’s future within the DC Universe and it isn’t particularly promising for those expecting a quick sequel or the character to return in short order. “James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in their first chapter of storytelling.

When Doctor Who returns to the BBC (in the UK) and Disney+ stateside, there will be plenty of familiar faces. A new trailer dropped this week that gives us insight into the three specials on tap for 2023. David Tennant and Catherine Tate were both pivotal parts of the revival’s success early on, so it’s nostalgic to see the pair in the new trailer. Tennant’s return was teased in the recent season finale after Jodie Whittaker’s iteration of the Time Lord regenerated into the former Doctor. It was a huge surprise because the BBC had announced Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa…
Inadequate pollination has led to a 3-5% loss of fruit, vegetable, and nut production and an estimated 427,000 excess deaths annually from lost healthy food consumption and associated diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers, according to research led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It is the first study to quantify the human health toll of insufficient wild (animal) pollinators on human health. “A critical missing piece in the biodiversity discussion has been a lack of direct linkages to human health. This research establishes that loss of pollinators is already impacting health on a scale…
I dedicate a pretty decent amount of time each week to scrolling through Target’s clothing section, which I’d imagine doesn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who truly knows me — perhaps even those who don’t, including the very gracious FedEx man who frequents my house so often, we’re practically on a first-name basis at this point. Moving on! One of the benefits to my shopping addiction (besides the fact that my closet now looks good 24/7) is that I’m uniquely clued in on which styles are truly beloved by my other fellow Target shoppers. In all truth,…
It’s been a rough year for entrepreneurs. Funding has been tight, top-flight leaders have been harder to lure away from secure corporate jobs, and marketing and discretionary spending has been at a standstill. Economic crunches are no fun for anyone, but when you’re trying to build a global business from scratch, the headwinds feel like a typhoon.If we take a longer view, though, there’s good reason for optimism. Historically, the most exciting and generation-defining startups have been those built in challenging times. Think of Facebook, launched in 2004, in the shadow of the dotcom bust. Google also raised capital in…
