A Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS), a payload on-board Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, has detected solar proton events which significantly increase the radiation exposure to humans in space, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has said.The instrument on January 18 also recorded coronal mass ejections (CMEs), a powerful stream of ionised material and magnetic fields, which reach the Earth a few days later, leading to geomagnetic storms and lighting up the polar sky with auroras, the ISRO said on Wednesday.”Such multi-point observations help us understand the propagation and its impact on different planetary systems,” it said.When the sun is active, spectacular…
Women’s elevated anxiety, depression and stress during pregnancy altered key features of the fetal brain, which subsequently decreased their offspring’s cognitive development at 18 months. These changes also increased internalizing and dysregulation behaviors, according to a new study by Children’s National Hospital published in JAMA Network Open. Researchers followed a cohort of 97 pregnant women and their babies. The findings further suggest that persistent psychological distress after the baby is born may influence the parent-child interaction and infant self-regulation. This is the first study to shed light on an important link between altered in-utero fetal brain development and the long-term…

I’ve expounded on many a post about the merits and wonders of the short story. While I love to read everything under the sun, my very favorite books are speculative short story collections. I’ve defined speculative fiction, to the best of my ability, in a previous Book Riot post, but in a nutshell, speculative short stories are short stories that include the fantastic — ranging from harder science fiction and fantasy to hints of the…

Imagine there were no Beatles—or that there was no Beatlemania anyway and that the lads from Liverpool were just another band that never got a record deal or that split up before they hit it big. That is the premise Harvard University professor Cass R. Sunstein ponders in an entertaining and thought-provoking essay to be published in September in the first issue of the Journal of Beatles Studies. (A preliminary draft was posted online early this year.) The fact that there could be an academic journal devoted just to John, Paul, George and Ringo is emblematic of how popular and…
Growing up, the bottles of body sprays, lotions, butters and eau de toilettes that lined my bathroom vanity were far sweeter than a desert-filled episode of The Great British Bake Off. My rotation typically included Britney Spears’s Fantasy (or Curious); a pure-sugar scent that, not surprisingly, was called Pink Sugar; and anything else my collection of glossy magazines was advertising. If it smelled like a frosted cupcake with sprinkles, I was—without a doubt—wearing it. I’ll always love unapologetically sweet scents, but now my tastes have graduated to fragrance blends that are warm and woody or grounded with spices, leathers or classic florals. That said, signature sweet notes like vanilla are often at…

Megan Fox is Machine Gun Kelly’s biggest fan. The Transformers actress proved it once again with a post-Billboard Music Awards PDA for her fiancé, in the form of a social post. “Baby – so proud of you for giving such a vulnerable and emotional performance. You are magic,” she wrote, adding a pair of heart emojis. MGK was one of the stars of 2022 BBMAs, when he took the stage for a performance of “Twin Flame,” which appears on his latest album Mainstream Sellout, a No. 1 hit on the Billboard 200 albums chart last month. But it was his…
The following post contains SPOILERS for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as well as for numerous past Marvel movies.One of the more interesting aspects of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is its treatment of dreams, which the film reveals are not simply fantasies from a person’s inner subconscious but are actually connections between variants throughout the multiverse. When Doctor Strange has a dream about a version of himself with a ponytail trying to save a young woman named America, that’s not some random nightmare; it really happened, and in a dream he was able to tap into…

Right now on Chicago Fire, Emma (Caitlin Carver) may be trying to steal Violet’s (Hanako Greensmith) job at 51, but while we wait to see how that’s resolved in the finale — it will “come to a shocking end,” NBC teases — we can focus on the joy of what’s to come: Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Kidd’s (Miranda Rae Mayo) wedding and Casey’s (Jesse Spencer) back as the best man! And that’s what the promo for “The Magnificent City of Chicago” focuses on. Casey returns — he’s now in Portland, looking after his late friend’s kids — to 51 and…
Polaritons offer the best of two very different worlds. These hybrid particles combine light and molecules of organic material, making them ideal vessels for energy transfer in organic semiconductors. They are both compatible with modern electronics but also move speedily, thanks to their photonic origins. However, they are difficult to control, and much of their behavior is a mystery. A project led by Andrew Musser, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, has found a way to tune the speed of this energy flow. This “throttle” can move polaritons from a near standstill…

Yet, instead of filling out its catalog, Netflix is trying to diversify beyond video. Like, for example, beefing up the staff of the gaming service it launched in November 2021. “They’re going to pour money into branching out into different types of content to be as much of a four quadrant service as they can,” says Alexander, meaning they’re targeting not just men but women, and not just those under 25 but those over 25 too. “But at the same time, they’re aware the competition at this moment is stronger than it has ever been. They need to find a…
Matt Cameron has responded to a Rolling Stone story this week that reported that Taylor Hawkins, the late drummer of Foo Fighters, wanted to tour less with the Dave Grohl-led rock band before his death.The Rolling Stone article, “Inside Taylor Hawkins’ Final Days as a Foo Fighter,” featured parts of an interview with Cameron, the Pearl Jam drummer also known for his work in Soundgarden and who collaborated with Hawkins in Nighttime Boogie Association.

Peer into the sky through a powerful telescope, and beyond the glare of the Milky Way, you can make out the faint glow of distant galaxies. These galaxies clump together in dense clusters joined by wispy filaments and separated by enormous voids hundreds of millions of light-years across. Since the 1980s, scientists have observed millions of galaxies to map this “cosmic web” in ever greater detail in their quest to understand our universe’s history. But there is more to this large-scale structure than meets the eye. Hydrogen atoms naturally emit radio waves with a characteristic 21-centimeter wavelength, and because hydrogen…

Less than two weeks ahead of the second anniversary of George Floyd’s death, which spawned a global reckoning over racism and policy brutality, and on a smaller but nonetheless visible scale, a lack of diversity within the fashion industry, an impressive range of talent, including Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing, gathered at Parsons School of Design to check in about the calls for change that were made by brands, and much more. The panel, titled “Fashion’s Diversity: Where It Stands, Where It Stalls, Where It’s Going,” was moderated by WWD executive editor Tara Donaldson and also featured Brandice Daniel, CEO…
Almost immediately, her data revealed that drones beat cars. Delivery times vary by distance, but drones consistently outpaced typical driving times. In 12,733 orders over 32 months, the smallest difference was a three-minute boost and the largest was 211 minutes, always in favor of drones.The drones also reduced the quantity of blood that expired and went to waste. “I wasn’t expecting to see an impact right away,” Nisingizwe says. “But we immediately saw the effect.” Those savings increased with time: 12 months in, drones reduced wasted blood by 67 percent—totaling 140 fewer expirations for the 2017 to 2019 period.“It’s exciting…
A speck of light that scientists once wrote off as a distant galaxy may actually be the brightest pulsar ever detected outside the Milky Way.Named PSR J0523−7125 and located about 160,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud (a satellite galaxy that orbits the Milky Way), the newly-defined pulsar is twice as wide as any other pulsar in the region, and 10 times brighter than any known pulsar beyond our galaxy. The object is so big and bright, in fact, that researchers originally interpreted it as a faraway galaxy — however, new research published May 2 in the Astrophysical…

The trailers and posters don’t beat around the bush. Jurassic World: Dominion is “The End of the Jurassic Era” — the final film in the saga, and one that reunites the original cast of Jurassic Park for one last adventure with the stars of the more recent Jurassic World saga. That’s the movie’s entire sales pitch: Come see how the Jurassic Park franchise ends.But come on. We all know this won’t be the end, right? Jurassic World is one of Universal’s biggest tentpoles. Without a Marvel or a Star Wars or a DC amongst its holdings, Jurassic Park is about as valuable a property as the studio has. You really…
