Sir David Attenborough, filming for Wild Isles series.BBC/Alex Board/SIlverback Films Wild Isles BBC1 In UK from 12 March THE UK’s forests are incredibly diverse, and no one understands this better than Chris Howard.

A galaxy that is just emerging from hiding may be one of the youngest ever discovered, offering a potential portal to the secrets of the early universe. Aptly named “Peekaboo,” the galaxy moved from behind a bright star (from our perspective) only within the past 50 to 100 years. But it’s not just the galaxy’s relatively recent appearance that has astronomers excited. In results published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists report that Peekaboo appears to have a significant lack of old stars. The new measurements suggest the dwarf galaxy may have formed billions of years after…

Last week, WIRED published a series of in-depth, data-driven stories about a problematic algorithm the Dutch city of Rotterdam deployed with the aim of rooting out benefits fraud.In partnership with Lighthouse Reports, a European organization that specializes in investigative journalism, WIRED gained access to the inner workings of the algorithm under freedom-of-information laws and explored how it evaluates who is most likely to commit fraud. We found that the algorithm discriminates based on ethnicity and gender—unfairly giving women and minorities higher risk scores, which can lead to investigations that cause significant damage to claimants’ personal lives. An interactive article digs into the guts of the…

What is it about Hollywood of yore and its black-and-white icons that continues to seduce readers today? There’s something about the past that feels nostalgic, more wholesome. But as we dig deeper, losing ourselves in the pages of a good book that goes behind the scenes in Tinsel Town, the stories of Hollywood’s elite come to life, revealing so much more than our collective memory tells us is true. In my new novel, Strangers in the Night, chronicling the tumultuous relationship between Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner — two giants among the famed list of Hollywood stars — it was…
The strongest solar storm to hit Earth for six years sparked stunning auroras across the U.S., with intense light displays appearing as far south as Alabama and Northern California. Yet no one saw it coming. The March 24 solar storm was the result of a “stealth” coronal mass ejection (CME) – or a gargantuan, fast-moving blob of plasma and magnetic field released from the sun – Live Science’s sister site Space.com reports (opens in new tab). The CME came from a coronal hole wider than 20 Earths that was spewing out solar winds at speeds over 1.3 million mph (2.1 million…
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Shrinking Season 1 Episode 10, “Closure.”] Shrinking may have tackled a rollercoaster of emotions over its first season, but the finale, “Closure,” ended on a relatively happy note with the wedding of Jimmy’s (Jason Segel) best friend Brian (Michael Urie) to Charlie (Devin Kawaoka). Still, things couldn’t end entirely conflict-free after Paul (Harrison Ford) commented on Jimmy’s luck regarding his recent advice to patients. This “luck” ran out as patient Grace (Heidi Gardner) was seen “booping” her husband Donny (Tilky Jones) down a cliffside, per the advice of her therapist, seemingly killing the…
As someone who avoided wearing trousers for the best part of 20 years, I’ve always found it increasingly difficult to style them—particularly where shoes are concerned. Often, I’ll compile my looks from head to toe, starting with a statement top, the accompanying bottom half and then the footwear. However, I tend to find myself slipping on every shoe style I own (trust me—there are a few), unconvinced that any of them suit my strides.Some prove too chunky, while others make me feel frumpy. Either way, it’s not a very enjoyable experience. As such, I set about to find out which…
In the future, it might be a new mobile game or an algorithm helping students study at home. It could be the latest graphics card or exercise bike, or an app that pairs families with puppies. With fewer and fewer aspects of life going untouched by technology, it could be practically anything. Right now, it’s TikTok, with its billions of users worldwide. US Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia) wants the United States armed with the ability to take swift action against technology companies suspected of cavorting with foreign governments and spies, to effectively vanish their products from shelves and app stores when…

Becoming Free Indeed by Jinger Duggar Vuolo Growing up is difficult enough without having any extra pressures to contend with, but for those who are raised in the limelight, under the scrutiny of millions of viewers, it’s unimaginably worse.

The fact that she was merely one child in a household that ran into the double digits, it’s understandable when she draws comparisons between her life and The Truman Show.…
Researchers have successfully split seawater without pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen. The international team was led by the University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng from the School of Chemical Engineering. “We have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 per cent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, using a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyser,” said Professor Qiao. A typical non-precious catalyst is cobalt oxide with chromium oxide on its surface. “We used seawater as a feedstock without the need for any pre-treatment processes like reverse osmosis desolation, purification,…
Bo may be done with Megan, but that doesn’t mean he’s the man we all know and love. Now that Kayla’s discovered him in the halls, will he trick her into thinking he’s a good guy as he did with Kate? Sadly, it looks like that will happen, as spoilers for Days of Our Lives during the week of 3-27-23 have Bo whisking Kayla off to Victor’s childhood home. All these connections to Victor are doubly poignant after John Aniston’s death. Although the Bo/Victor connection wasn’t planned as a tribute to Aniston, it feels like one! The series has never…
When my former coworker reviewed the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Kicker Boot-Cut Ripped Cut-Off Jeans way back in 2021, I knew they’d eventually need to land a spot in my wardrobe. I fell in love with everything about them, from the cutoff hem to their understated boot-cut silhouette, but I waited too long to add them to my cart, and they ultimately went out of stock — until recently. While checking out the brand’s new arrivals for March, I came across an updated version of the original style. Enter the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Kicker Boot-Cut Side-Slit Jeans…
Last week in London, a small group of protestors braved it out in the rain in front of the Francis Crick Institute, where the Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing was taking place. The sparse congregation, from the group Stop Designer Babies, brandished signs urging “Never Again to Eugenics” and “NO HGM”(no human genetic modification). The group campaigns against what it sees as the scientific community’s lurch towards using gene editing for biological enhancement—to tweak genomes to give, say, higher intelligence or blue eyes. If this came to pass, it would be a slippery slope towards eugenics, the group argues.Three days…

Winthrop Center is the tall glass building at the backMP Boston On a cold winter’s day in February, the drone of a powerful fan filled the cavernous office space on the 17th floor of a new skyscraper in downtown Boston. A group of building developers wearing hard hats and orange safety vests stood around as the fan sucked air from the space. They were conducting a depressurisation test as part of a process to confirm that the space – one of 21 floors of office in the 62-storey building – met new energy-saving standards. … Article amended on 14 March…

The US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report in 2022 saying health care providers should counsel and test patients who are more likely to have elevated PFAS exposure based on where they live or work. And EPA officials estimate that cleaning up the water will prevent thousands of deaths—and tens of thousands of cases of serious illness—in the US. Regulating the two commonly studied chemicals, as well as four additional ones, is “a really important first step,” says Katie Pelch, a scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit environmental advocacy group. But there is more to…
