Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Recent research has found a new way to make graphene that adds structural defects to improve the performance of the material that could have benefits across a range of applications—from sensors and batteries, to electronics. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Chemistry, University of Warwick and Diamond Light Source developed a single-step process to grow graphene-like films using a molecule, Azupyrene, whose shape mimics that of the desired defect. The research has been published today in Chemical Science. David Duncan, Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham and one of the study’s lead authors,…

By Howard Bloom We are witnessing an attempt to destroy America’s constitutional democracy. Something has happened that is very useful to the constitution destroyers: the murder on September 15th in Utah of high profile MAGA promoter Charlie Kirk, leader of the movement Turning Point USA. Thanks to that murder, as Fox’s News’ Jesse Watters says, we seem to have reached “a turning point” in the 250 year history of our country. The MAGA movement is outraged about the murder of Charlie Kirk in Utah Wednesday September 10th. It believes, in the words of Donald Trump, that there is a “lunatic left wing” network…

I’m always pleasantly surprised when I peruse Old Navy’s site. I’ve already worked on several stories and livestreams where I’ve tried and tested a whole host of Old Navy pieces and have become savvy to many of their chicest offerings. Their denim in particular, is definitely worth trying (I’ve been wearing their high-waisted wide-leg jeans for years now and everyone always asks me where they’re from). Their staples and sweaters are also top notch—you wouldn’t believe they carry an under $50 price tag. Recently, they’ve launched bags which I’ve already spotted on influencers and even celebs (Jenna Ortega was recently…

Dentists say that halitosis, or bad breath, often has causes that brushing alone can’t address.So why can breath sometimes stink even after brushing, and what can be done about it?According to Dr. Jaclyn Tomsic, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and oral health expert at the oral care company Better & Better, one of the simplest and most overlooked reasons for bad breath is skipping flossing. “The food we eat easily gets…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Ten Years and Then…? he story behind Ten Years and Then… is very personal—it sprung from thinking about moments when I was younger when things could have turned out very differently: What if I’d realized at the time that the girl at the bus stop in 10th grade was actually flirting with me, or if one particular date in my sophomore year of college had gone better, and so on? I’m not Daniel, but there’s a lot of me in him and a lot of shared experiences. The other…

Declines in oestrogen during menopause may have cognitive effectsElena Popova/Getty Images Beginning hormone replacement therapy (HRT) within five years of menopause onset appears to lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Yet starting it later in life seems to have the opposite effect, suggesting the timing of HRT influences how it affects the brain. Women have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease compared with men, especially after going through menopause. This may be due to declines in the hormone oestrogen, which regulates energy production and inflammation in the brain. As such, HRT has emerged as a potential tool for mitigating…

Sometimes, it takes the creative impetus of a great filmmaker to finally pick up that chunky novel that’s been sitting gathering dust on your book shelves since god-knows-when. Such was the case with my own yellowing edition of Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel, ​‘Vineland’, which I’d shirked for too long having understood it to be, from contemporary reviews, one of the author’s more opaque works (which is saying something). When it was announced that Paul Thomas Anderson was returning once more to the PCU (Pynchon Cinematic Universe) following 2014’s superb Inherent Vice by adapting ​‘Vineland’ for the screen, this was the sign I needed…

I’ll start by saying I don’t know the last time I bought a new pair of leggings. I just always seem to skip activewear trends. But things are changing this fall—my athleisure wish list is longer than it’s ever been. This season, nylon anoraks, track jackets, and fresh colorways like plum, navy blue, and olive green are demanding my attention (and my fall shopping budget). And rightfully so—many of the pieces I’ve found are versatile enough to dress up for weekend errands or make you best-dressed for morning yoga. Personally, I’m looking to style capri leggings under a trench coat,…

Material characterizations of CoCe–O–Ir nanosheet arrays. Credit: Nature Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-58163-0 A new type of catalyst—a material that speeds up chemical reactions—that could make the production of clean hydrogen fuel more efficient and long-lasting has been developed by a team led by City University of Hong Kong, including researchers from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Japan. This breakthrough uses high-density single atoms of iridium (a rare metal) to greatly improve the process of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is key to renewable energy technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and large-scale energy storage. The researchers created a highly…

Some atoms are stable, while others seem to fall apart. Lead-208 will probably last forever, while the synthetic isotope technetium-99 exists for just hours. The difference lies in the structure of the atom’s nucleus, with certain “magic numbers” of nuclear particles making some isotopes especially resistant to radioactive decay.So what are these magic numbers, and why are they so special?The stability of atomic nuclei varies wildly with the number of nuclear particles they contain. Some, like lead-208 and calcium-40, have been around since Earth first formed. Known as primordial isotopes, they will likely survive until the end of time. Others,…
