Christopher Intagliata: Artificial intelligence systems have bested humans at chess, poker, Jeopardy, Go, and countless other games. But machines still aren’t that great at understanding some basic rules about the physical world. Susan Hespos: They still can’t do what 3-month-olds do. And I’m a champion for babies at the end of the day and this is a clear win for babies. Babies are still slam dunking our most powerful computers when it comes to intuitive physics. Intagliata: Cognitive psychologist Susan Hespos of Northwestern University listed off a few examples of those “intuitive physics” principles. Like “solidity” – your coffee cup…

For readers of romance novels with explicit sex scenes, beloved books have been derided as smut for ages. Scores of romance readers have kept their habits secret, fearing judgment about their intellects, their tastes, even their own sex lives. Reclaiming the word disarms it, making the term a badge of honor rather than an insult. This reclamation within the romance reading community fascinates me. First, it skips over one common defense of romance, namely…

Using skin biopsy samples, investigators found that patients with severe COVID-19 had clots in small venous and arterial blood vessels in skin that appears normal. This was not seen in the skin of patents with other types of severe infectious lung disease, or in individuals with only mild or moderate COVID-19. Their findings appear in The American Journal of Pathology, published by Elsevier. The researchers document, for the first time in premortem evidence, that a minimally invasive skin biopsy can help assess tissue damage related to COVID-19 as well as help distinguish this blood vessel pathology from other forms of…

“I have secret boobs. I do—32Cs. It’s just I have such clavicle issues, I don’t like them on show.” This was something Alexa Chung said in a 2011 interview with British Vogue that not only stuck with me throughout my twenties, but confirmed in some small way that how I was dressing at the time (hiding my own 34C boobs) was, in fact, considered chic.For years, I have tried to compress my chest (usually with no-wire triangle bras that flatten rather than add lift), or hide my breasts in oversized oxford shirts, loose-fitting cashmere sweaters, and baggy white T-shirts tucked…

As students go back to school, a host of new laws in Florida will change the access they have to books in their classrooms and libraries. Florida is the epicenter of Moms For Liberty, who have been instrumental in book bans across the country and have developed their own home-grown system of book ratings. It comes as little surprise the group has had tremendous influence in the state, alongside other “parents rights” groups like Florida Citizens Alliance. It is, however, the few speaking on behalf of the majority in each and every one of these cases. While Moms and similar…

NBC, as we know it, could soon be over. According to the Wall Street Journal, the broadcast network may stop programming the 10–11 pm hour, meaning there would be seven fewer hours per week of NBC shows. The network currently airs Law & Order: Organized Crime, New Amsterdam, Quantum Leap, and Chicago P.D. in the 10 pm slot. News of such a move would eliminate the need for as many shows, meaning the network could potentially say goodbye to some of its well-watched series. This would also put a spanner in the works for the all-One Chicago Wednesdays and all-Law…

A strain-sensing smart skin developed at Rice University that uses very small structures, carbon nanotubes, to monitor and detect damage in large structures is ready for prime time. The “strain paint” first revealed by Rice in 2012 uses the fluorescent properties of nanotubes to show when a surface has been deformed by stress. Now developed as part of a non-contact optical monitoring system known as S4, the multilayered coating can be applied to large surfaces — bridges, buildings, ships and airplanes, for starters — where high strain poses an invisible threat. The project led by Rice chemist Bruce Weisman, structural…
