Bright multi-colored clouds shining in the night sky above Mount Jökultindur in Iceland on Jan. 25. (Image credit: Jónína Guðrún Óskarsdóttir) (opens in new tab)The dark skies in the Arctic Circle recently shone with ethereal multi-colored light. But this jaw-dropping spectacle was not caused by auroras. Instead, the iridescent rainbows were caused by clouds of tiny ice crystals floating higher in the atmosphere than is normally possible.The clouds, known as polar stratospheric clouds (PSC), only form when the lower stratosphere reaches temperatures below minus 114 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 81 degrees Celsius). Normally, clouds do not form in the stratosphere because…
Over the last few years, I’ve been trying to live more sustainably and although a large part of my job is spent researching trends, scrolling through new-in pages and writing about hot new collections, I don’t actually shop that much. Shocking, I know! That’s mainly because I truly believe in creating a capsule wardrobe full of favourites you can wear all year round, as well as trying to get as much usage out of your wardrobe as possible. This winter, my wardrobe consists of sweater vests (I’m currently on the look out for a vintage oversized version in navy FYI), which…
These troubles come during an economic downturn and a dampening of esports hype, with investors and sponsors growing impatient with the growth-before-profit model. 100 Thieves, the second-most-valuable esports team in the world, just laid off a sixth of its workforce. It’s not that esports is dying; it’s that investors are grappling with wildly exaggerated expectations, particularly in the US. Discussing the Overwatch League in the same breath as the NFL now seems premature, at the very least. “Those numbers were totally unrealistic,” says Tobias Scholz, an assistant professor at the University of Siegen for Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior and a…

Recurrent UTIs could one day be prevented with a vaccine instead of antibiotics if promising results in mice and rabbits are replicated in clinical trials Health 23 November 2022 By Alice Klein E. coli bacteria seen through an electron microscopeSTEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY A vaccine tablet that dissolves under the tongue protects against urinary tract infections (UTIs) in mice and rabbits. If it is shown to work in people, it could reduce the need to treat these infections with antibiotics. More than half of all women get at least one UTI in their lifetime and about 5 to 10 per…

I often struggled to find myself reflected in books when I was younger—an experience that so many people share, for so many different reasons. These days, as I listen my way through dozens and dozens of queer books every year, I sometimes think about the reader I was as a teenager and how amazed she would have been by the sheer amount of LGBTQ+ titles available now. Some of my favorite books to read now are the ones I affectionately call “Everybody’s Gay!” books. These are books with not one, not two, not three, but many queer characters. Everybody might not be…
A new, rapidly spreading variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, means a rise in new infections could be around the corner. And while it likely won’t skirt immunity completely, the variant could dodge some of our defenses thanks to a mutational boost. XBB.1.5—unofficially nicknamed “Kraken” by some scientists online—is an Omicron subvariant that has caught the attention of virologists in recent weeks because of its significant advantage in how fast it spreads. Research by computational virologist Trevor Bedford and his team at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle suggests XBB.1.5 currently has a reproduction number of around…

Peter White Black and brown eyeliners will always be classics, but if you want to switch up your vibe and majorly enhance your already pretty peepers, white eyeliner is the way to go. Unlike darker alternatives, “white eyeliner brightens the appearance of your eyes and emphasizes the whites, giving a fresh boost to any look,” says celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. In fact, this colored eyeliner trend is hotter than ever right now. Follow red carpet moments and rock a traditional cat eye or apply white eyeliner to your waterline for a vivid, wide-awake effect, Greenberg says. (FYI, this is…
2023 will be the year that the battle over data ownership takes to the streets. The United States Supreme Court’s repeal of Roe v. Wade has politicalized women’s bodies—and not only in the US. When the ruling was debated in Westminster, several UK parliamentarians took the opportunity to question a woman’s bodily autonomy.The reaction of every woman I know—and many men—was instinctive and visceral. We are being transported backwards—to the 70s, or before.But there is a difference. In those eras, we didn’t have artificial intelligence and big data. We did not have digital.We are all digital beings now. It’s been over…

Is there a key to happiness? It’s among humanity’s biggest questions and one that we still don’t fully know the answer to. While scientists are getting closer to pinpointing certain factors that may increase happiness, there are several reasons why finding a universal formula isn’t straightforward. Happiness is a complex phenomenon that is difficult to define and measure in an objective way. Sam Jahara (opens in new tab), a psychotherapist at Brighton and Hove Psychotherapy in the U.K., told Live Science that happiness is usually linked to feelings of joy, ease and gratitude. Happy people often have a positive outlook on…

Ghiassee, who published a report last year on the threat of radiological terrorism, also criticizes suggestions in some news coverage that the uranium found at Heathrow could have been intended for use in a dirty bomb: “For dirty bombs, you need highly radioactive material … and uranium is not suitable at all.”Nonetheless, British ports of entry screen for all kinds of radioactive substances. However, members of the public often don’t realize that some airports are able to detect even tiny amounts of radioactivity in buildings or cargo-processing areas. Marco Panniello is the sales director for Arktis, a company that makes radiation-detection devices…

A beating heart. A complicated organ that pumps blood around the body of animals and humans. Not exactly something you associate with a Petri dish in a laboratory. But that may change in the future, and save the lives of people whose own organs fail. And the research is now one step closer to that. To design artificial organs you first have to understand stem cells and the genetic instructions that govern their remarkable properties. Professor Joshua Mark Brickman at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) has unearthed the evolutionary origins of a master gene that…
More than 42 million Americans are functionally illiterate; they can’t follow the directions on a can of soup. Millions of students leave grade school with insufficient reading skills to adequately do their work and learn. How and why did this happen? And what does this say about the way we are educating our children? Dr. Claire Rubman, a cognitive development psychologist and college professor, attempts to address those issues and provide solutions in her new book, This May Be Difficult to Read. She provided more insight in this recent author interview with BookTrib. Watch the full interview here on the BookTrib…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, together with their colleagues at the Universities of Stockholm and Tokyo, report in a new study in PNAS that larvae of the cabbage white butterfly use two gut enzymes to effectively disarm the mustard oil bomb, the major chemical defense system of their host plants. Cabbage white butterflies appear to be able to target the various glucosinolates, defense compounds of cabbage and related plants, and render them harmless by a finely tuned use of their detoxification enzymes. Using genome editing techniques, the researchers were able to demonstrate the function…
