We knew it was coming, but it doesn’t make it any less difficult to report that The CW is completely overhauling its schedule in the fall.

All American is the only show familiar to CW viewers on the fall schedule. The hit drama scored a 13-episode renewal for Season 6. It will retain its Mondays at 8 p.m. slot in the fall, where it will lead into 61st Street, the…

Beyond storing wallet credentials in email messages, digital notepads, and other insecure locations, Brooks explains, people are prone to forgetting where they put their recovery phrase—a simple human error, easily made.

Despite their name, microplastics are a gigantic player in pollution worldwide. These fibers, beads and fragments (defined as being less than five millimeters in size) have infiltrated nearly every environment, especially oceans. To track the problem, researchers are now homing in on these seaborne flecks from more than 300 miles away—in space. Recent research in Scientific Reports details how microplastics appear to flow alongside floating patches of oily and soapy substances called surfactants, which create distinct footprints in ocean currents. Those footprints are detectable by NASA’s Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), a network of eight hurricane-monitoring satellites, and tracking…

The salty current flooded into the South Atlantic via the Agulhas Leakage, which snakes around the tip of Africa.

But here’s a question that is a little more out of the ordinary: could we make a liquid sponge?

The tabletop gaming community offers a place for communication and togetherness that can be incredibly rare in modern culture. It’s a privilege that nerds have gotten better at sharing in recent years, particularly with those who need community most. Dr. Elizabeth Kilmer is a clinical psychologist who uses tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) in therapy, and she herself was diagnosed with ADHD. “Narrative and metaphor have been used in therapy, healing, and educational practices for a long time,” she explains. “You can see examples in folk tales, parables, and other oral traditions.

Bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS). These chemical signals spread through a biofilm that colonies of bacteria form after they reach a certain density, and are used to help the colonies scavenge food, as well as defend against threats, like antibiotics. Researchers examined how different structures affects biofilm growth and QS by the bacteria in the presence of antibiotics. They found structure does have an effect on QS in some strains of the bacteria. Similar to how cells within human tissues communicate and function together as a…
