Birds of a feather flock together. And so do bats and fishes and any little critter hoping that getting lost in the crowd will keep them off the evening menu. But predators gotta eat. So they, in turn, have come up with clever ways to cut through the visual clutter of a churning mass of panicked prey to hone in on their target. For hawks who forage in massive swarms of bats, the trick, it seems, is to just dive in and grab whatever hapless flier happens to share your trajectory. That’s according to a study in the journal Nature…

The agency’s lander felt the ground shake during the impact while cameras aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the yawning new crater from space. NASA’s InSight lander recorded a magnitude 4 marsquake last Dec. 24, but scientists learned only later the cause of that quake: a meteoroid strike estimated to be one of the biggest seen on Mars since NASA began exploring the cosmos. What’s more, the meteoroid excavated boulder-size chunks of ice buried closer to the Martian equator than ever found before — a discovery with implications for NASA’s future plans to send astronauts to the Red Planet.

Jeremy Moeller There’s no denying that sweater season has officially commenced. Even if the weather can’t seem to make up its mind, I’ve made up mine: It’s fall, and I’m going to dress like it. It goes without saying that everyone’s favorite chilly-weather garment is the chunky sweater. Simply put: Words can’t explain the way the best fall sweaters (which as perfectly cozy and comfy) will make you feel. Personally, if I could fashion a sweater from my favorite blanket, I probably would. (Once I learn to sew, it’s over for these all y’all.) Until the spring thaw begins, you…

Most of the time, Frank is a pillar of integrity. He makes decisions that aren’t popular and that his staff doesn’t understand, but they make sense because of his commitment to his cops and his family. Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 6 was the exception to the rule. Frank declined a speaking invitation that would have allowed him to share his wisdom with a bunch of students interested in criminal justice, all because he felt a previous crop of students had disrespected the NYPD. That wasn’t an integrity-based decision. It was purely petty. Frank’s reasoning made little sense here. Refusing…

Sixty-six years ago, Jerry Lee Lewis, who died Oct. 28 at the age of 87, shook America’s nerves and rattled its brains. The Dec. 22, 1956, issue of Billboard savored his debut single, “Crazy Arms,” as a “flavor-packed disk,” and the magazine went on to track the rise of “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On” and “Great Balls of Fire,” both of which scored on the country, R&B and pop charts all at once. And as Elvis Presley turned his attention to Hollywood and then to the U.S. Army, Lewis seemed poised to vie for The King’s throne until a…

Atrial fibrillation — a form of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia — leads to more than 454,000 hospitalizations and nearly 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 60 million people are affected by the condition. Pacemakers are lifesaving devices that regulate the heartbeats of people with chronic heart diseases like atrial fibrillation and other forms of arrhythmia. However, pacemaker implantation is an invasive procedure, and the lifesaving pacing the devices provide can be extremely painful. Additionally, pacemakers can only be used to treat a few specific types of disease. In a paper published Wednesday…

When I first started reading digitally, back in the prehistoric days of 2010, I loved how light my ereader was and that I could use it to read very long books without carrying around all that weight. I still love my Kindle for those reasons, but there are some drawbacks to a dedicated ereader (which mostly have to do with reading anything with illustrations), so some readers may prefer a tablet for reading if you are, for example, a heavy reader of comics…
Disenchanted is one big mashup of Disney Easter eggs. The long-awaited Enchanted sequel debuted Friday, November 18, on Disney+, with the original cast returning to tell an all-new story in a familiar world. And there are simply too many references to Disney animated classics to count, but we’ll take our best shot at detailing the big ones. In Disenchanted, Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey) move with daughters Morgan (Gabriella Baldacchino) and baby Sofia from Manhattan to Monroeville, a suburban town that resembles Andalasia enough to make Giselle a little less homesick.

In the midst of an active hurricane season, Puerto Rico has suffered yet again. Thanks to Fiona, which crashed into the territory a few days before Ian hit Florida, we were without critical services like electricity, water, hospitals and fuel supplies.

After Maria, the U.S. federal and Puerto…
