It’s now been five months since the conclusion of the most recent TV show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (That was She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which wrapped its run on Disney+ on October 13.) Almost half a year later, we not only haven’t seen another new Marvel Disney+ series, we don’t even know what TV series Marvel will release next — Secret Invasion? Loki: Season 2? — or when it will debut.There’s even more uncertainty at Marvel now with the sudden departure of one of the company’s longest-tenured executives, Victoria Alonso, who left her job at Marvel Studios last week.Alonso, who joined the…

The species Homo sapiens evolved some 300,000 years ago and has come to dominate Earth unlike any species that came before. But how long can humans last? Eventually humans will go extinct. At the most wildly optimistic estimate, our species will last perhaps another billion years but end when the expanding envelope of the sun swells outward and heats the planet to a Venus-like state. But a billion years is a long time. One billion years ago life on Earth consisted of microbes. Multicellular life didn’t make its debut until about 600 million years ago, when sponges proliferated. What life…

The challenge—and opportunity—of the green revolution is that clean energy can be generated almost everywhere. The fossil fuel system is more centralized: Oil, gas, and coal are extracted in one spot, processed somewhere else, and then shipped to customers in a third location. Solar panels, by contrast, can be deployed on homes but also on canals and reservoirs, in airports, over parking lots, and virtually anywhere there’s free space. This flexibility means you also need skilled workers everywhere.The good news is that a lot of that labor demand can be covered by retraining workers. A construction worker can learn to do energy-efficient retrofits, for instance,…

Researchers have developed a new way to create dynamic ultrahigh-density 3D holographic projections. By packing more details into a 3D image, this type of hologram could enable realistic representations of the world around us for use in virtual reality and other applications. “A 3D hologram can present real 3D scenes with continuous and fine features,” said Lei Gong, who led a research team from the University of Science and Technology of China. “For virtual reality, our method could be used with headset-based holographic displays to greatly improve the viewing angles, which would enhance the 3D viewing experience.

CLIMATEWIRE | The United Nations’ latest climate assessment has upped the ante for energy policy in the United States, making it clear that rich nations need to cut their emissions more deeply than some of the most ambitious targets.

To limit global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius, it found that global greenhouse gas emissions must decline by 60 percent by 2035 compared with 2019 levels (Climatewire, March 20). That translates to a 67 percent emissions…

Netflix‘s Sex/Life has been canceled after delivering its long-awaited second season starring Sarah Shahi, Adam Demos, Margaret Odette, and Mike Vogel.

I’m tired of people seeing uniqueness as something that’s done in the West. It’s making our world poor if we’re just Eurocentric in our focus. If you just wait for the West to inspire, to create, and to do good in tech, what’s your added value to the world?Your designs frequently make use of natural, soft lighting. How did you come to appreciate the value of that? Something that was negative for me was sitting in classrooms where it was dark when there’s abundant sunlight outside. I didn’t like it, and I could see a way to make it better. Another…

Macaques using stones to crack open nutsLydia V. Luncz By using stones to break open nuts, monkeys accidentally create sharp-edged flakes that look like the tools believed to have been used by our ancient human relatives. The finding casts doubt on whether all the stone flakes found in archaeological digs really are the tools of early hominins — and raises the possibility that they might be accidental by-products of hitting things with whole stones, says Lydia Luncz at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. In 2016, Luncz and her colleagues realised that Brazilian capuchins produce stone…

Following in the footsteps of the Neptune image released in 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken a stunning image of the solar system’s other ice giant, the planet Uranus. The new image features dramatic rings as well as bright features in the planet’s atmosphere. The Webb data demonstrates the observatory’s unprecedented sensitivity for the faintest dusty rings, which have only ever been imaged by two other facilities: the Voyager 2 spacecraft as it flew past the planet in 1986, and the Keck Observatory with advanced adaptive optics. The seventh planet from the Sun, Uranus is unique: It rotates…
