You’ve probably seen Loewe candles sitting prettily in stylish spaces during Instagram scrolling sessions, but you’d be forgiven for not realising it. The candles, which come in three sizes, are housed in ribbed terracotta earthenware pots, with only a small Loewe logo embossed into the clay near the base. Each pot is painted a different on-trend hue depending on the scent, which means you can pick and choose which colour best suits your décor. While you mightn’t necessarily think of Loewe as a homeware brand, the collection has proven to be a passion project for the brand’s creative director Jonathan Anderson.”Everything…

Fame eats. It’s a monster. In fact, it’s the ultimate monster in Nope, Jordan Peele’s full-throttle third feature, a sci-fi western about a mysterious UFO haunting the skies of a sleepy Southern California ranch town. But Nope is not your conventional Peele project. The pursuit and poison of fame are its cardinal fixations. It is a movie squarely concerned with exteriors, one meant to challenge the image-centric culture on which all of us feast.Where Peele’s movies are typically about journeying into psychological and physical interiors, and the subsequent battle to escape, to shake loose the demons of racism or the…

Actor, stuntman, professional wrestler, and mixed martial artist Gene LeBell died in his sleep earlier this week at the age of 89. While not really a household name, LeBell lived a fascinating life. He was the referee for the famous boxer versus wrestler match between Muhammad Ali and Antonio Inoki. He got into a notorious altercation with actor Steven Seagal which, according to legend, ended with Seagal unconscious or worse. And he was once tried (although not convicted) on a murder charge. (A related conviction as an accessory to this same murder was later overturned on appeal.)LeBell also worked for decades as an…

Earth’s current largest ocean, the Pacific, blankets more than 30% of the planet’s surface, stretching 12,000 miles (19,000 kilometers) at its widest point, between Colombia and the Malay Peninsula, according to the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC UNESCO (opens in new tab)). But that titanic sea represents only the remnants of the largest ocean in Earth’s history. So what was the largest ocean ever to exist on our planet?That would be Panthalassa, a world-spanning sea that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea from about 300 million to 200 million years ago, Brendan Murphy, a geology professor at St. Francis Xavier University in…
And the truth is that we’re not entirely sure why. The trend works across all hair types, it’s relatively low maintenance and most importantly, it’s seriously chic. Whether you want to give off fresh, just-showered vibes, make a bold power move or look like you’ve just stepped off the beach, the wet-hair look is calling out to be adopted. We can only assume that the main reason this trend has never hit the mainstream is because it looks hard to pull off—but that doesn’t mean that it is.In reality, the chicest wet-look hairstyles might just be the ultimate no-fuss way…

Theoretical physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have put Google’s artificial intelligence AlphaFold to the test and have found the most complex protein knots so far. The question of how the chemical composition of a protein, the amino acid sequence, determines its 3D structure has been one of the biggest challenges in biophysics for more than half a century. This knowledge about the so-called “folding” of proteins is in great demand, as it contributes significantly to the understanding of various diseases and their treatment, among other things. For these reasons, Google’s DeepMind research team has developed AlphaFold, an artificial intelligence…

Even though the researchers only used a RBD from one version of Covid, their vaccine generated a robust polyclonal response—meaning it created multiple antibody types, rather than just one. To Saunders, this is part of the approach’s charm: Creating many antibody types is beneficial, he says, because one that is extremely effective against a certain variant might not be as effective against another. Or vice versa: A previously weak antibody could better neutralize a newer variant. “Some of those antibodies are going to be great at responding to Omicron, some will be great at responding to Alpha, some will be…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Rough Rancher? I’m a horse person. I own a beautiful mare and I’m with her every day. I’ve seen the magic horses can weave in a person’s life, and the idea of a bad boy being turned into a big-hearted cowboy has always appealed to me. And of course, I love cowboys. Many speak horse. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Rough Rancher, what would they be? If I had to pick a theme song for Callum, it would be Jason Aldean’s A…
In 2008, viewers were introduced to Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in Breaking Bad. Then, in 2015 came Better Call Saul, the prequel focused on Bob Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman. And in 2019, fans got El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. With Saul ending its six-season run on August 15, there is, of course, the question of whether this is it for that world. “I feel like we probably pushed it doing a spinoff to Breaking Bad. I could not be more happy with the results. And then I did El Camino, and I’m very proud of…
By Rowan Hooper BE WARNED: George Monbiot will put you off your dinner. But that is a good thing – indeed, a vital thing. Our diets have to change. More to the point, the way we farm has to change. “Farming,” says Monbiot, a columnist for The Guardian newspaper and an environmental activist, “is the most destructive human activity ever to have blighted the Earth.”Advertisement It is a deliberately provocative statement, of course, but it shows how the myth of the green and pleasant farm is deeply ingrained. Even after reading this comprehensive, devastating and rousing book, that statement still…

It is a simple five-color label categorizing food from A to E. Attributes like high energy density, sugar content, saturated fatty acids, and salt negatively affect the Nutri-Score, while fiber; protein content; and the presence of fruits, vegetables or rapeseed, walnut, or olive oil positively affect the score. The lower the score, the better.Food labeling differs from country to country. Nutri-Score comes from the nutrient-profiling system developed by…
Earlier this month, Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy spoke to Indie Power TV; among other embittered sentiments, he claimed that Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx is a “second-class citizen” who never thanked McCoy for rescuing him from a near-fatal heroin overdose back in 1987 (when Sixx was only 29 years old). Now, Sixx has responded to McCoy’s recent comments.“I saved the guy’s life, and he makes up stories,” initially McCoy stated in reference to Sixx’s books (which include 2007’s The Heroin Diaries, 2011’s This Is Gonna Hurt and 2021’s The First 21: How I Became Nikki Sixx). Of course, the incident is…
Before a movie begins filming, there’s quite a few matters that need to be taken care of first. First, the budget needs to be planned out ahead of time. The cast needs to be booked and the shot list needs to be scheduled. And, of course, the script needs to be written … Right? Not always. In fact, there are some incredible movies that began production without a completed screenplay. Some were intended to heavily feature improvisation from the actors, while others were simply running behind due to production hiccups.One way or another, these movies were all completed. And when…

As our devices become smaller, faster, more energy efficient, and capable of holding larger amounts of data, spintronics may continue that trajectory. Whereas electronics is based on the flow of electrons, spintronics is based on the spin of electrons. An electron has a spin degree of freedom, meaning that it not only holds a charge but also acts like a little magnet. In spintronics, a key task is to use an electric field to control electron spin and rotate the north pole of the magnet in any given direction. The spintronic field effect transistor harnesses the so-called Rashba or Dresselhaus…
CLIMATEWIRE | A surprise climate and energy agreement between Sen. Joe Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer promises a large U.S. emissions cut of 40 percent that seemed out of reach just a few days ago. The announcement marked a startling reversal, breathing new life into the prospects for federal climate legislation two weeks after talks between the two senators broke down. The agreement would offer President Joe Biden a major political victory just before the midterm elections by delivering on his campaign pledge to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to boost clean energy deployment. “The Inflation Reduction…
