We’ve kept her at home during the pandemic, but now that she’s vaccinated, she’ll be attending preschool twice a week. She is more than ready, and talks about it every day. What I’m not so excited about are August’s temperatures. The humidity is at 90%, the temperatures are in the 90s or 100s, and I’m arriving home from my daily walks drenched in sweat — yay for summer. I’d say this is…

Life as a single seaweed along a rocky coastline can be tough. Though there are plenty of potential partners out there, stalks of these large algae are stuck in place, and possible mates often keep their reproductive structure hidden. For the red seaweed Gracilaria gracilis, which grows in scraggly clumps, this is a particular problem. Its male gametes, or spermatia, lack flexible flagella to propel them through the water. “Without the ability to swim, the sperm needs to navigate its way to the female plants in some other way,” says Myriam Valero, an ecologist at the French National Center for…
When Kate Middleton wears jeans, they’re usually skinny. When she wears dresses, they’re midi, and when she wears trousers, they’re usually wide-leg. Such was the case today when she and Prince William visited volunteers at the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London. Middleton showed her support for Ukraine by wearing a blue-and-yellow pin on a blue sweater. She also wore block-heel pumps and a pair of wide-leg trousers that can best be described as puddle pants. Puddle pants (and jeans) are basically loose and so long that they pool around the ankles. So in this case, save yourself a trip to the tailor and keep the ultra-long length intact—just don’t…
“I waste way too much time on my phone and am attracted by the idea of simplifying my digital life. So I found several apps and tutorials designed to make my smartphone ‘dumb,’ but I’ve hesitated to take the plunge. Am I just trying to escape modern life?” —DumbstruckDear Dumbstruck,As more and more of the formerly mute objects in our lives (refrigerators, thermostats, doorbells, even toilets) are christened “smart,” it often feels as though the entire inanimate world were undergoing a process of enlightenment. And “smart” is a difficult adjective to resist, particularly in a society that regards intelligence as a…
Last night, the Cleveland-based Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honored Machine Gun Kelly (who has ties to the city) with “MGK Day,” which included a display with several of the rapper-turned-rocker’s personal items. Well, it seems as if the designation is now official, as Cleveland’s Mayor Justin Bibb named Aug. 13 “Machine Gun Kelly Day” while handing Kelly a celebratory plaque outside of 27 Club Coffee (which Kelly owns).As reported by Cleveland’s WKYC, Mayor Bibb handed Kelly the framed document mere hours before Kelly was set to perform at FirstEnergy Stadium for his highly anticipated hometown concert (as part…
Out of all the projects Marvel discussed at San Diego Comic-Con this year, the one we’re most excited for is Spider-Man: Freshman Year, a new animated series set in Peter Parker’s earliest days as the Friendly Neighborhood Wall-Crawler. One of the more interesting aspects of the show is the fact that Charlie Cox will reprise his role as Daredevil in the series.But what Daredevil will we see? Is this the same guy we saw in the MCU’s Daredevil TV show and Spider-Man: No Way Home? And how does he fit into what we know about the show’s premise (which takes place in a variant reality…

I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, and nothing gets me more nostalgic than stumbling on social media posts about things like Lisa Frank, Trapper Keepers, the Delia’s or Alloy catalogs, or Scholastic Book Fairs. Speaking of books, there are so many books from the ’90s that I think of often, and some have even floated around in my head for way longer than they should have, before I was able to finally remember the title of the…
The final season of Stranger Things is in the works, and the last season will aim to avoid one considerable criticism that has plagued prior seasons. The series has been known to introduce a wealth of new characters each season, and in many cases, it takes away from the characters we started the journey with. Thankfully, Ross and Matt Duffer are being vocal about the focus being on the original characters. In a new interview with Indiewire, they confirmed as much. “We’re doing our best to resist [adding new characters] for Season 5,” Matt said. “We’re trying not to do…
Highly energetic and difficult to detect, neutrinos travel billions of light years before reaching our planet. Although it is known that these elementary particles come from the depths of our Universe, their precise origin is still unknown. An international research team, led by the University of Würzburg and the University of Geneva (UNIGE), is shedding light on one aspect of this mystery: neutrinos are thought to be born in blazars, galactic nuclei fed by supermassive black holes. These results are published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters. The Earth’s atmosphere is continuously bombarded by cosmic rays. These consist of electrically…
Zoey Deutch is bringing designer style to the Milky Way. On July 27, the actor stepped out in New York City for a screening of her upcoming Hulu movie, “Not Okay,” wearing a vintage Moschino dress that featured none other than our galaxy. Styled by Elizabeth Stewart, the ankle-length dress featured a cowl neck and a slit up the back of the dress for optimal walking purposes. Behind the various shades of blue are images of stars, moons, planets, comets, and all the things that make up our solar system. If you look close enough, you might even be able…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new report has identified the 10 financial actors with the most influence on the fossil fuel economy and outlines the decisive role they can play in helping de-carbonize our future. The study found that the top 10 most influential actors, including investment advisors, governments, and sovereign wealth funds from around the world, own 49.5 percent of potential emissions from the world’s largest energy firms. “This shows us that both investors and governments can be at the forefront of change if citizens and clients urge them to de-carbonize,” said Truzaar Dordi, lead researcher from the University…

I don’t know about you, but summer is always the highlight of my year. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember that if the sandals don’t work due to rain, plenty of the below outfits work with boots.There are looks for all of your summer plans, from elegant parties to afternoons in beer gardens. So without further…
On June 20, Microsoft-owned Mojang announced that NFTs and blockchain technology would no longer be allowed to “integrate” with Minecraft. That was bad news for NFT Worlds, which has spent months building an entire crypto-economy on top of a collection of the randomized seeds needed to make specific Minecraft maps.Now, the team behind NFT Worlds announced it will create a new game that’s “based on many of the core mechanics of Minecraft” but which will be “completely untethered from the policy enforcement Microsoft and Mojang have over Minecraft.” NFT Worlds promises its new Minecraft-style game will be built “from the…
CHVRCHES are just a few weeks away from the one year anniversary of their excellent fourth album Screen Violence, but it seems they’ve been keen on celebrating it ever since it came out; since the fall of 2021, CHVRCHES have been on tour very consistently, jumping back and forth between North America and Europe multiple times for extensive runs, festival dates, and more. Many musicians are jumping at the chance to bring their pandemic-crafted albums on tour, and CHVRCHES have done so defiantly. So, witnessing their performance at the Brooklyn Mirage in New York City on Wednesday (August 3rd) was…

Anne Heche’s condition is worse than was first detailed over the weekend following a fiery crash in Los Angeles. “At this time Anne is in extreme critical condition. She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention,” a representative for the actress told People. “She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.” Heche’s blue Mini Cooper crashed into a Mar Vista home on Friday, with the residence catching fire. Fifty-nine firefighters battled the fire, which spread from Heche’s car into the house. It took 65 minutes until…
The formation of the second layer in a heterolayer coordination nanosheet. Cobalt ions pass through the preexisting first layer (composed of iron coordination centers and terpyridine ligands), which has formed at the liquid–liquid interface between water and dichloromethane. They then assemble into coordinated layers by combining with terpyridine ligands. Credit: Hiroshi Nishihara from Tokyo University of Science The past few decades have witnessed a great amount of research in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials. As the name implies, these thin film-like materials are composed of layers that are only a few atoms thick. Many of the chemical and physical…
The French Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy, or St. Barts (or St. Barths) as it is commonly called, is a playground for the extremely well-heeled—the kind of place Kendall Jenner or Jeff Bezos might jet to for the weekend, and often do. It had long existed in my mind as a luxe dreamland, and after a short charter flight from San Juan, courtesy of Tradewind Aviation, I was excited to find out why the tiny island (it’s less than 10 square miles), is such a draw. By the time I finished my first meal, I had figured out what sets…
Cybersecurity experts say the California Department of Justice apparently failed to follow basic security procedures on its website, exposing the personal information of potentially hundreds of thousands of gun owners.The website was designed to only show general data about the number and location of concealed carry gun permits, broken down by year and county. But for about 24 hours starting Monday a spreadsheet with names and personal information was just a few clicks away, ready for review or downloading.Katie Moussouris, founder and CEO of Luta Security, said there should have been access controls to make sure the information stayed out…
Country superstar Morgan Wallen sure knows how to entertain a crowd, as demonstrated by last night’s (Aug. 13) headlining show at the three-day Tidalwave Music Festival in Atlantic City, N.J. Although his set included plenty of expected fan favorites – such as a few from 2021’s Dangerous: The Double Album, which he’s currently supporting – he also surprised everyone by incorporating Linkin Park’s beloved “In the End” into a larger medley.In particular, the multi-song mixture eventually featured several other non-Wallen tracks (for instance, Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love a Bad Name,” Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar, We’re Going Down” and Def…
