Your smartphone begins life neatly packed into a well-designed box. Chances are it will end its days in a more ignominious manner. Assuming it doesn’t end up rattling around in a junk drawer, it will most likely go to the same landfill as your other household waste, where it will slowly leach toxic chemicals into the soil and water. Or worse, it might be shipped to another country, where low-income workers will manually break the phone apart to recover anything of value and burn or bury the rest, putting their health—and that of their wider community—at risk in the process.…

When FBI returns from its break for the holidays on January 3, the CBS procedural drama is digging into Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille’s (Alana De La Garza) past, specifically an old case, one that she hasn’t quite been able to let go of all these years. In the episode “Second Life,” Isobel reconnects with her old partner, Jake (guest star Tate Donovan), after the abduction of a young woman leads the team back to a cold case from 18 years ago, one of her first at the Bureau. “I think this case was probably the one that haunts…
Hailey Bieber poked fun at herself on Friday, Jan. 6, stepping out in a look that truly spoke louder than words. The Rhode mogul channeled the ’90s in a crop top with loose hip-slung vintage jeans from Levi’s. She completed the look with an embellished belt, a Prada baguette bag, and chunky studded oxford shoes designed by Proenza Schouler. While at first glance it appeared like a simple T-shirt-and-jeans outfit, it was what was written on her custom X Karla baby tee that made quite the statement. That is, of course, because Bieber’s top read “Nepo Baby.” Nepo Baby is…

Many businesses have long lobbied against changing their practices to safeguard the environment, by refusing to implement pollution controls,…

In one way or another, Thomas Gooch has spent more than 30 years struggling with illegal drugs. The 52-year-old Nashville, Tenn., native grew up in extreme poverty. He was first incarcerated in 1988 and spent the next 15 years in and out of jail for using and selling narcotics. “Until 2003,” Gooch says. “That was the first time I went to treatment and the last time I used.” Since then, for most of 19 years, Gooch has been trying to get others into recovery or just keep them alive. He handed out clean needles and injection-drug equipment—which reduce injuries, infections…

By Natalie Michie Date December 20, 2022 This article was originally published on December 9, 2022. Update: On December 19, SZA pushed back on the characterization of her songs as “sad girl” music. “Ignoring songs like Sos, Psa, concieted, low, forgiveless, seek n destroy, notice me, or ex pack … to pretend I only make sad girl music is dumb,” she wrote on Twitter. In a separate Tweet, she questioned why she can’t be perceived to have “a FULL spectrum of emotions,” instead…
Tesla is under criminal investigation in the US over claims that the company’s electric vehicles can drive themselves, three people familiar with the matter said. The US Department of Justice launched the previously undisclosed probe last year following more than a dozen crashes, some of them fatal, involving Tesla’s driver assistance system Autopilot, which was activated during the accidents, the people said.As early as 2016, Tesla’s marketing materials have touted Autopilot’s capabilities. On a conference call that year, Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley automaker’s chief executive, described it as “probably better” than a human driver.Last week, Musk said on another call Tesla…

A tube of “fossilized lightning” from Nebraska’s Sandhills holds a rare type of quasicrystal that had previously only been found in meteorites and at atomic bomb test sites. Quasicrystals are materials that break the traditional rules of crystallography. Before they were first reported in 1984, scientists thought materials could either be crystalline — with symmetrical, repeating patterns — or amorphous, meaning randomly arranged and disordered. In addition, scientists believed crystals could only be symmetrical a limited number of times when rotated around an axis — two, three, four or six times. Quasicrystals break those rules. They’re put together in an ordered pattern,…

In talks with Phil Keoghan, the host tells us all about what’s going down in the challenge. “At the very beginning of the season, we have a team-picked challenge,” Keoghan describes. “They’ve never seen each other work before. They don’t know anything about each other. They introduce themselves to each other very quickly and say, ‘I’m a pipeline worker. I’m a firefighter and a veteran. I’m a construction worker.’ And then we put ’em to…
A U.S. company is designing a large battery that it says could help decarbonize the nation’s power sector more cheaply than lithium-ion storage systems—and with domestic materials. The concept, known as the “iron-air battery,” has impressed U.S. experts. Unlike current lithium-ion batteries that require expensive materials mostly from other countries such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite, the proposed battery stores electricity using widely available iron metal. It operates on what scientists call the principle of “reversible rusting.” The low cost and high availability of iron could allow iron-air batteries to store electricity for several days during periods of low…
On her sophomore album Hold the Girl, Rina Sawayama, the breakout British artist known for the mashup style of her 2020 debut—Y2K pop meets nu-metal meets ‘90s R&B—doubles down on her sonic signature.
