A new study has warned that irreversible climate “tipping points” are more numerous and close to being triggered than previously thought. (Image credit: Shutterstock) (opens in new tab)Climate tipping points — the “points of no return” past which key components of Earth’s climate will begin to irreversibly break down — could be triggered by much lower temperatures than scientists previously thought, with some tipping points potentially already reached. There are also many more potential tipping points than scientists previously identified, according to a new study. In climatology, a tipping point is defined as a rise in global temperature past which…

In 2016, the WeWork cofounder Adam Neumann described home as “a feeling” rather than something you own. He was introducing WeLive, his company’s concept for rental apartments, where lease terms were flexible and apartments came furnished, right down to the linens and toiletries. The idea swapped traditional tenancy for “membership,” allowing people to move between WeLive apartments as easily as Equinox members could swipe into a gym in a different city.WeLive didn’t last long. It began to crumble, along with the rest of the business, in 2019, when WeWork’s bid to go public revealed that the company was losing more…
Sky still thinks it’s too soon to joke about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The UK pay TV service cut portions of last night’s episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver over tongue-in-cheek jokes the host made in reference to the late monarch, who died last week at 96. Per Deadline, some viewers in the UK were surprised to find out that Oliver’s quips about Liz were scrubbed from the the British version of the HBO show. One incriminating punch line came when Oliver poked fun at accounts like The Crazy Frog and Dominos Pizza posting tributes to the…

The availability of rapid antigen tests has significantly advanced efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, but every new variant of concern raises questions about whether diagnostic tests will still be effective. A new study published in Cell attempts to address these questions by evaluating how rapid tests will perform when challenged with future SARS-CoV-2 variants. The research team, led by Emory University and funded by the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Tech program, developed a novel method for evaluating how mutations to SARS-CoV-2 can affect recognition by antibodies used in rapid antigen tests. Because…

Euphoria was HBO’s first foray into programming for a younger audience than its typical fare. The Zendaya-fronted series has delivered bumper ratings, a rave reception, and recognition with major awards wins. When the series snagged a third season renewal, rumors started to emerge that the series would be wrapping up. However, HBO’s Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys shut down reports that the series is ending. In an interview with Deadline after the show scooped up six awards at the Emmys, Bloys clarified the network’s intention. He wants the show to continue beyond a third season and for the series to…
Lori Garver, NASA’s former deputy administrator, is famously opposed to reinventing the wheel. NASA, she has written, wasn’t created to do something again. It’s no surprise, then, that she has become a thoughtful critic of the space agency’s approach for returning humans to the moon, which relies on rocketry similar to what NASA used to launch Apollo- and space-shuttle-era astronauts decades ago. NASA, Garver argues, is at its best when it wields its formidable powers to tackle challenges well beyond the reach of the private sector, whether in exploring other planets or helping to protect our own. Rather than reiterating…

The photos of Lawrence out in the city also appear to be taken before she grabbed dinner with her longtime close friend Emma Stone that evening at Hwa Yuan restaurant.Gotham//Getty ImagesGotham//Getty ImagesThe restaurant shared…
Cheap trucker jammers are available for less than $100, but because they’re manufactured so poorly, they’re more disruptive than they’re designed to be. In 2009, on board the British vessel Galatea—a boat responsible for, among other things, maintaining the country’s lighthouses—a jammer with less than one-thousandth of the power of a mobile phone caused the vessel’s electronic charts to show false positions, leading the autopilot to steer the ship quietly off course.Another growing concern is spoofing, where false signals are sent to the receiver from a ground station, resulting in misleading information being passed into systems. As with jamming, there’s…
If you were to pick any two bands that got a kid to pick up an instrument and learn to play, it’s probably Foo Fighters and Metallica. That’s just one of the reasons that this video from a Foo Fighters’ show where a 10-year-old covers “Enter Sandman” on guitar is so worth it.The clip comes from a Foo Fighters’ concert Oct. 12, 2018 in Kansas City. Dave Grohl, as he is wont to do, has invited a young person in the audience onstage to play something with the band. In this case it’s a kid named Collier, who, when asked what…

Indiana high school students with disabilities who spent 80% of their educational time in general education classrooms scored higher on state reading and math assessments and were better prepared for postsecondary education and employment opportunities than their peers in less inclusive settings, according to a new study by Indiana University researchers. “We are currently in a time when the experience of ‘community’ is being stressed in multiple ways in our society,” said Hardy Murphy, study co-author and a clinical professor in the School of Education at IUPUI. “Changing and elevating our expectations of what students with disabilities are capable of…

Here’s the thing: This list of must-read books about sex is something I wish I had when I was younger. I never had the “birds and the bees” talk. Where do babies come from? The stork. Obviously. Sure, as a tween I got pamphlets about the changes forthcoming in my female body, but beyond that and the mandatory month or so of sex-ed in high school — which was more about abstinence and STIs and unwanted pregnancy than consent and love and pleasure…
The money’s on the screen — and it’s a good thing, given the roughly $465 million that Amazon has reportedly invested in bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythic Middle-earth back to life for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Prime Video‘s much-anticipated and sumptuous prequel to the events immortalized in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. At its frequent best in the opening hours — only two were made available for review, under tight security — The Rings of Power is a reminder of what drew many of us to epic fantasy (and Tolkien) in the first…
The current U.S. trajectory to decouple from China on clean energy technologies can harm national and global efforts to mitigate climate change, reveals a new University of California San Diego study published in Science. The paper counters common assumptions that collaboration with China presents substantial national security and economic risks across the board. These risks have underpinned the policies of three U.S. administrations and a majority of European governments, ranging from import tariffs to enhanced scrutiny of scientific collaboration. While some action may be justified, the study shows that for many technologies, the cure is likely worse than the disease.…

If astronauts need to grab some lunar ice on a future Artemis mission, that won’t be a problem from a legal perspective, says Rossana Deplano, a researcher at the University of Leicester in the UK who has extensively studied the Artemis Accords’ effect on international space law. “What the Outer Space Treaty allows is using resources if it’s in support of a scientific mission. The Artemis missions are by definition scientific missions, so there is nothing unlawful for the US or other international partners taking part,” she says.But the treaty also says that space exploration should be carried out “for…

The past two years has seen a rise in conservative propaganda against queer books in schools and libraries, so it’s not a surprise that Pride displays got hit especially hard in June. In one Illinois library, though, the fight began before Pride month had even started, and what happened offers a useful case study for librarians in how to approach these challenges, especially when the accusations includes lies or misinformation. In the Illinois county where Joan* works, complaints against their Pride display started to come in before they had one. A conservative group called Awake Illinois had begun organizing opposition…
