No Stone Unturned: A Remarkable Journey to Identity by Nadean Stone What’s it About? The story of a woman in search of her identity, from her struggles in an abusive and hostile marriage to her obsessive, detective-like hunt for her birth mother. She was that close.

It was right there. Nadean, adopted 46 years earlier, was about to unlock her life’s great mystery. But the laws at the…
Five years and four seasons ago, Jeopardy! brought in a collection of contestants to play in the 2018 Teen Tournament. The players were so impressive, the game show added another tournament in 2019.

Scientists have created a new type of ice that matches the density and structure of water, perhaps opening a door to studying water’s mysterious properties. “It might be liquid water frozen in time,” says Martin Chaplin, a specialist in water structure at London South Bank University, who was not involved in the work. “It could be very important.” The ice is called medium-density amorphous ice. The team that created it, led by Alexander Rosu-Finsen at University College London (UCL), shook regular ice in a small container with centimetre-wide stainless-steel balls at temperatures of –200 ˚C to produce the variant, which…

The relentless attack of H5N1 is important not just for its impact on poultry or wildlife, but for what it portends for people. Avian flu was long considered the animal disease most likely to break out into a global human pandemic, and even after the onslaught of SARS-CoV-2, many scientists still feel that way. The H5N1 subtype first spilled from birds to humans in 1997 in Hong Kong. It sickened 18 people and killed six of them—small numbers, but a disturbing 33 percent mortality rate. Since then, variants of H5N1 have periodically infected people, causing 868 human cases through 2022 according…
Television frontman Tom Verlaine died last week, and, now, Patti Smith has paid tribute to the late musician and her former boyfriend in an essay for The New Yorker. Titled “He Was Tom Verlaine,” her eulogy details Verlaine’s upbringing in Delaware, the first time the artists crossed paths in 1973, and their shared interests in poetry, composers, and the bustle of New York. She also recounted the first time she saw Television perform live on April 14, 1974, at CBGB, writing, “What we saw that night was kin, our future, a perfect merging of poetry and rock and roll. As…

As The Flash prepares to say goodbye, it will be doing so with quite a few familiar faces returning in its ninth and final season.

Toward the end of 2022, I was a panelist at a session on climate change held by a major scientific society. Near the end of the session, a prominent scientist declared that we needed to be “realistic”: oil and gas weren’t going away anytime soon, and we had to accept that as we attempted to solve our climate crisis. The oil and gas industry makes this argument all the time, of course, but lately I’ve heard it from scientists such as the person at that meeting. Even some environmentalists make it when they have accepted the idea that natural gas…
As rain clouds swelled over Fort Stockton, Texas, last summer, a little yellow plane zipped through the sky. It was on a mission. Equipped with tanks of water and special nozzles on its wings, the craft soared beneath the gray-white billows. Then, at just the right moment, it released a spray of electrically charged water particles into the cloud. The goal? To squeeze some extra rain from the West Texas sky. “Water’s becoming very valuable and more and more scarce,” said Dan Martin, a research engineer with Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service who helped invent the technology. It’s a…
Someone turned off gravity for the Viktor & Rolf runway show at Paris Fashion Week. On Jan. 25, the fashion house showcased its spring 2023 couture collection, described as “a parade of dreamlike yet surrealist constructions.” The line, called “Late Stage Capitalism Waltz,” featured floating dresses and dramatic ballgowns that were upside down and inside out. One model, sporting a bouffant-style ponytail, walked the runway in a structural corset attached to a cream-and-honey gown laid horizontal across the bodice. The peculiar design created the illusion that the dress was defying gravity. The rest of the collection was equally mesmerizing. One…
Intel’s Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger on Monday said the initial public offering of its self-driving tech company Mobileye was not a capital raise, but more of an entry into the market.”It is a move to potentially move them into the market. It’s not a capital raise,” said Gelsinger at the WSJ Tech Live conference when asked about why Intel was moving ahead with an IPO during such tough market environments and whether Intel needed that cash.”The autonomous vehicle segment is a strong segment for growth. It’s a tough market. At the same time, we’re believing this company should be public…
A couple of hints fell from the airwaves and the internet this week about one of the world’s biggest bands playing one of the world’s biggest festivals.

Potentially life-saving steroids commonly given to preterm babies also increase the risk of long-term cardiovascular problems, but a new study in rats has found that if given in conjunction with statins, their positive effects remain while the potential negative side-effects are ‘weeded out’. Cambridge scientists gave new-born rats, which are naturally born prematurely, combined glucocorticoid steroids and statin therapy. The results, published today in Hypertension, show that the combined treatment led to the elimination of negative effects of steroids on the cardiovascular system while retaining their positive effects on the developing respiratory system. Preterm birth (before 37 weeks) is one…

Equipment operator Matt Odiaga walks in front of a pile of waste wood at the Biochar Now facility in Berthoud, Colo., on Monday, Feb. 13, 2023. Colorado lawmakers want to commission a study to see if biochar, a carbon-rich substance that resembles charcoal, can be used to plug the hundreds of deserted oil and gas wells across the state. The material could also be used to filter and absorb pollutants that leak from the wells.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease and Stephen Hawking’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that results in the gradual loss of control over the muscles in the body. It is currently incurable and the cause of the disease is unknown in over 90% of all cases — although both genetic and environmental factors are believed to be involved. The research groups of Dr. Akira Kitamura at the Faculty of Advanced Life Science, Hokkaido University, and Prof. Jerker Widengren at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, have developed a novel technique that is able to detect…
Lately, I find that I’ve been spending way too much time on my smartphone — my screen time is up, my messages are never-ending, and my camera roll has just about hit its max capacity (for basically the second time this month, mind you). While I’ve long reminisced about the good old days when I would swap my adolescent attention back and forth between a keyboard phone and an iPod Shuffle, genuinely convinced that my wine-colored LG Env3 was the greatest thing to ever exist, I still can’t bring myself to get rid of my iPhone completely. Sure, the convenience…
