Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Benji Backer is a young person with an old story. Coming of age in 2017, he took a look at the world around him and felt discontent. Its politics didn’t match his; elders didn’t share some of his core values and priorities. So he struck out on his own to forge a new path. Here’s the twist. Backer, 24, is a stalwart conservative and Republican activist. His chief frustration? His party isn’t doing enough to address climate change.

Bros says that the situation we face is not a market failure, but a regulatory one. Bros was involved in the liberalization of the French market and its integration into the European internal energy market. The liberalization process needs to take place, then control be given to a regulatory entity that is completely independent. At present, countries are left to their own devices, able to make a hodgepodge of different decisions about their own energy integrity, provided they roughly fall within European guidelines. “If you start messing with this concept, you end up where we are,” he says.Some countries preferred…

The numbers are stark when it comes to suicide: It is a leading cause of death in the United States, and was the second leading cause of death in the U.S. for people ages 10 to 14 and 25 to 34 in 2020. That year, millions of American adults thought of, planned or attempted suicide, and nearly 46,000 died by suicide according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most people who take their own life receive services in primary care and other medical settings in the year prior to death. This raises many critical questions: Did the doctor…

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a prototype for fully scalable all-perovskite tandem solar modules. These modules have an efficiency of up to 19.1 percent with an aperture area of 12.25 square centimeters. This result, the first of its kind reported worldwide, was made possible by improving efficiency with optimized light paths, high-throughput laser scribing, and the use of established industrial coating methods. The researchers present their results in the journal Nature Energy. As a readily available and versatile energy source, sunlight plays a key role in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources and…

Gamma rays from this supernova remnant have been seen by telescopes since 2007, but exceptionally energetic light wasn’t detected until 2020, when it was picked up by the HAWC Observatory in Mexico, piquing the interest of scientists hunting for galactic PeVatrons. When gamma rays reach our atmosphere, they can produce showers of charged particles that can be measured by telescopes on the ground. With data from HAWC, scientists were able to work backward and determine that these showers came from gamma rays emanating from the supernova remnant. But they were unable to say whether the light was generated by protons…

In the decades before Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman was successfully adapted as a hit Netflix series, Warner Bros. had been pushing the comic book writer to make a film.

According to Gaiman, he had previously come to an agreement with Warner Bros. executive Lisa Henson in the early ’90s to not make a Sandman movie because he was “just getting started on the comic” and…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Powerless? I had the first flash for this story while driving to pick up my daughter at her friend’s house—during a hurricane. The road crossed a small stream, and the stream was absolutely boiling through the culvert below. An image popped into my head of the road being completely flooded and I thought, “What if I couldn’t get my daughter back?” The first thought after that was, “That would be horrible!” The next was, “That would make a great story!” At the time I had this idea I was…
