Astronomers have captured the first ever image of the colossal black hole at the center of our galaxy, providing the first direct evidence of the cosmic giant’s existence.Located 26,000 light-years away, Sagittarius A* is a gargantuan tear in space-time that is four million times the mass of our sun and 40 million miles (60 million kilometers) across. The image was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of eight synchronized radio telescopes placed in various locations around the world. As not even light is able to escape the powerful gravitational pull of a black hole, it’s impossible to see…

Dell Technologies said on Thursday it expects PC backlog to balloon in the first quarter due to supply chain constraints and reported a quarterly profit miss, sending its shares down 7 percent in extended trading.A pandemic-fueled demand for PCs helped the company draw in billions of dollars in sales over the past year. However, an ongoing global chip shortage and supply chain issues are pinching Dell as longer lead times and parts shortages have led to higher component and freight costs.The company earned $1.72 (roughly Rs. 130) per share on an adjusted basis, below Wall Street’s estimate of $1.95 (roughly Rs.…
Machine-learning algorithms that generate fluent language from vast amounts of text could change how science is done — but not necessarily for the better, says Shobita Parthasarathy, a specialist in the governance of emerging technologies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In a report published on 27 April, Parthasarathy and other researchers try to anticipate societal impacts of emerging artificial-intelligence (AI) technologies called large language models (LLMs). These can churn out astonishingly convincing prose, translate between languages, answer questions and even produce code. The corporations building them — including Google, Facebook and Microsoft — aim to use them…
Monday’s work hours are about as far away from the revelry of a Saturday night as you can get, but Ty Segall is here to bridge the gap with the new song “Saturday Pt. 2.” It’s the latest preview of his upcoming album Hello, Hi, due out July 22nd via Drag City. “Saturday Pt. 2” is the penultimate track on Hello, Hi, coming immediately after the as-yet unreleased “Saturday Pt. 1.” Segall’s lyrics open with claustrophobia and the feeling of walls closing in: “In a room we are waiting,” he sings, “Living life behind closed doors/ Only singing about the flat and/ Painted drywall and…

The series finale for This Is Us is mere weeks away, and we’re not ready for the bucket-loads of tissues we’ll need to get through the sure-to-be-emotional episode. As if that couldn’t make fans emotional enough, stars Susan Kelechi Watson and Sterling K. Brown are teasing their wrap on the series with a behind-the-scenes look at their final scene. “We just wrapped our last scene of the series…️🥲 #ThisIsUs,” Kelechi Watson tweeted alongside a selfie of her and Brown in their aged-up looks as Beth and Randall Pearson.

On Friday night, Millie Bobby Brown had the TV show debut of her new blonde hair, wearing it with a monochromatic purple look on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The outfit had a real classic glamour to it, with a few modern twists. Her off-the-shoulder top was trimmed with violet feathers and a few sparkles. The shirt had long bell sleeves and was form fitting around her torso, connecting with a pair of skin tight pants in lavender. Both pieces are by RaisaVanessa. The pants were high-waisted with a sheen to the material that caught the light, and she…
Angharad Paget-Jones, from Port Talbot, Wales, doesn’t expect to ever get on the housing ladder. Despite what money-saving advice and guides on the internet say, “it’s not as easy as stopping drinking coffee in the morning or canceling your Netflix subscription,” she says. Paget-Jones, 28, needs a home of her own to live in. As someone with disabilities, she sorely needs to adapt her property to make her quality of life better, but she can’t do that in the rental market.“Owning my own home is the goal,” she says. But despite working full-time, she hasn’t been able to save enough…
When we humans hear birdsong, which many have appreciated more than ever during the pandemic, we can’t help but think about parallels to human music and language. We discern distinct melodies linking the clanks and buzzes of Song Sparrow songs, sentencelike structure in the Red-winged Blackbird’s pronouncement of conk-la-ree! and a cheery whistle in the wide-open-beaked songs of the White-throated Sparrow. Birdsong, which has intrigued scientists since Aristotle’s time, is traditionally defined as the long, often complex learned vocalizations birds produce to attract mates and defend their territories. Modern researchers categorize it in contrast to bird calls, which are usually…

Dr. Ian Sullivan (Andrew McCarthy) has officially entered the building… but is he just at Chastain to save his daughter’s life? The promo for the May 10 episode of The Resident reveals there’s more to this trip from Seattle to Georgia than that. Still, he does tell Dr. Kincaid “Cade” Sullivan (Kaley Ronayne), “I came to save you.” In the latest episode, “Risk,” Cade was shot after becoming a whistleblower and working with the FBI to take down a mob operation involving fraudulent prescriptions. As the Chastain staff worked to save her, they discovered that she has a very rare…
Infographic explaining the experiment. Credit: RIKEN A theoretical study shows that long-range entanglement can indeed survive at temperatures above absolute zero, if the correct conditions are met. Quantum computing has been earmarked as the next revolutionary step in computing. However current systems are only practically stable at temperatures close to absolute zero. A new theorem from a Japanese research collaboration provides an understanding of what types of long-range quantum entanglement survive at non-zero temperatures, revealing a fundamental aspect of macroscopic quantum phenomena and guiding the way towards further understanding of quantum systems. When things get small, right down to the…
If Netflix’s “Bridgerton” wasn’t enough indication of Regencycore’s influence on fashion, the trend has now found its way to Broadway. Since the release of British musical comedy “Six,” which is based in 15th-century England, the show has become a global sensation in its own right — and we assume the elaborate costumes have something to do with the widespread appreciation for the show. A modern retelling of the lives of Henry VIII’s six wives in the form of a pop concert, the play focuses on each queen, who sings her story wearing a unique look. Costume designer Gabriella Slade married…
Motorola Edge+ (2022) was launched in the US on Thursday (February 24). The phone has almost the same specifications as the Motorola Edge 30 Pro that was launched in India on the same day as the successor to Motorola Edge 20 Pro from 2021. The Motorola Edge+ (2022) brings support for the company’s Smart Stylus, which will be sold separately. While the Motorola Edge+ (2022) is a rebranded version of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro for the US market, the former offers faster mmWave 5G connectivity for Verizon customers in the US and comes with slower 30W charging support compared…
Scientists have taken the first step to creating the next generation of wearable health monitors. Most research on measuring human biomarkers, which are measures of a body’s health, rely on electrical signals to sense the chemicals excreted in sweat. But sensors that rely on perspiration often require huge amounts of it just to get a reading. A new study suggests that a wearable sensor may be able to monitor the body’s health by detecting the gases released from a person’s skin. “It is completely non-invasive, and completely passive on the behalf of the user,” said Anthony Annerino, lead author of…
Congratulations are in order for Post Malone, who is expecting his first child, Billboard can confirm.

Recently, a few of us in the Book Riot back channels were commiserating about how an upcoming graphic novel was categorized as manga, therefore confusing us all when it simply didn’t follow manga formatting (namely, being read from right to left). A little extra googling led us to find that said graphic novel was “manga-inspired” and left us with even more confusion. Why does U.S. publishing use labels so liberally and inaccurately? What does “manga-inspired” even mean? I’m not quite cut out for tackling all of U.S. publishing’s problems, but please do allow me to take this opportunity to tell…

Another few months pass, and another wave hits the United States. Right now, the Omicron subvariant BA.2 is the dominant strain in the United States. In mid-April, the city of Philadelphia became the first major city to reinstate a mask mandate to protect yourself and others from Covid-19. Shortly thereafter, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced that it was extending the mask mandate on planes and public transportation through May. (Or is the mandate extended? Who knows anymore.)A good face mask is a critical tool in helping slow the spread of Covid-19. We’ve been outfitting our kids and…
More and more shipping in the Arctic, including big transport tankers, poses challenges in this remote, pristine environment. Credit: MikhailSS / Shutterstock / NTB More than 600 fishing vessels sail the icy waters of the Arctic. But just over two dozen big tankers are the worst offenders when it comes to air pollution in this vulnerable region. In 2021, just 26 natural gas tankers cruised through Arctic waters, as compared to the hundreds of fishing vessels that also ply these rich fishing grounds. But the giant tankers, which can be 300 meters long or more, account for the largest share…
