Chinese researchers have discovered a giant, previously unknown hydrothermal system at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean that could shed light on the origins of life.The Kunlun system, northeast of Papua New Guinea, is made up of 20 large craters, the largest of which is around 5,900 feet (1,800 meters) wide and 430 feet (130 m) deep. These craters are clustered together in what the researchers called a “pipe swarm,” and they release copious amounts of hydrogen, which may feed the life that thrives throughout the system.Kunlun is similar to an Atlantic hydrothermal field known as the Lost City, which…

Tom Holland is for the fans when it comes to bringing Spider-Man to the big screen.The Marvel star says he likes to go online and search for what fans are saying about Spider-Man to determine what they’d like to see in a movie about the web-slingin’ superhero.“I have been actively sifting through the internet and trying to best understand what it is that the fans want from a Spider-Man movie, and that’s been my driving force in these pitch meetings,” Holland told LADbible in a new interview.“I think the producers, at times were like, absolutely sick of me, but I…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Money Skills for Teens? I wrote Money Skills for Teens as a gift for my son, who just turned 13. Like many teens, he’s bright and curious but still learning how to be independent. When I thought about the challenges ahead—managing money, making decisions, and building confidence, I realized I wanted to give him something I wished I had at his age: a clear, supportive, no-lecture guide to money. This book is my way of preparing him, and other teens like him, to step into adulthood with confidence rather…

Just 0.3 per cent of the world’s land area would need to be covered in solar panels to meet all energy needsVCG via Getty Images Solar power has been on the rise for years, and for good reason. It has become one of the cheapest ways to generate energy almost everywhere, and it is one of the best options for combatting climate change. Yet it still has its detractors. US energy secretary Chris Wright has claimed solar couldn’t supply all the energy the world needs. This is wildly and embarrassingly wrong, as many have pointed out. In fact, in the…

In his narrative poem ​‘The Divine Comedy’, accepted to have been written between 1308 and 1321 and widely considered to be the most influential work of Italian literature, Dante Alighieri set out a striking vision of the afterlife which changed literature forever. In Julian Schnabel’s 2025 adaptation of Nick Tosches’ ​‘In the Hand of Dante’, inspired by Alighieri’s work, the film director creates the sensation for viewers of being dragged through the various levels of hell across the course of 2.5 turgid hours, riddled with incomprehensible dialogue, baffling accents and some of the most egregious continuity in recent film history.Perhaps this…

If the number one thing you’re looking forward to wearing this fall is a leather jacket and you want some outfit inspiration, Hailey Bieber is your girl. I can’t think of another celebrity in modern times who has a better leather jacket collection than her. And the style she’s worn more often than not over the past year is leather bomber jackets, which is hardly surprising, as it’s the biggest leather jacket trend of 2025 by a mile. In fact, I’d even say Bieber has had a lot to do with the trend’s popularity. But I’m here to talk about…

Initially, Silksong was planned as downloadable content for the original game, before its creators expanded it into a full-fledged sequel. In August, when developers surprise announced that the game would launch in just two weeks, at least half a dozen other indie developers immediately delayed their own games to clear the way. “Dropping the GTA of indie games with 2 weeks notice makes everyone freak out,” wrote Demonschool developer Necrosoft on Bluesky on its delay.Despite a seven-year development cycle, excitement for the game never died down. Reddit user The_Real_Kingsmould tells WIRED the community has “largely kept itself afloat with its…

Extinction Risk–Protection Mismatch in China’s Flora. Credit: Shen Guozhen A new study has revealed a “hidden extinction crisis” in China’s flora, showing that habitat decline over the past four decades has sharply increased extinction risks nationwide. The findings, published in One Earth on September 3, suggest that current conservation efforts are failing to keep pace with biodiversity threats. Led by Dr. Shen Guozhen from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with international collaborators, the researchers combined satellite-based land-cover data (1980–2018) with species-composition models to quantify—for the first time at a national scale—how habitat loss is…

Sabrina Carpenter‘s new album Man’s Best Friend is full of tongue-in-cheek lyrics and lighthearted bops, but at its core, the pop star says the project is actually about something more serious: heartbreak. In an a upcoming interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 arriving Thursday (Sept. 4), the pop star opens up about creating the fun music fans hear on Man’s Best Friend — which arrived at the end of August, months after Carpenter’s breakup from Barry Keoghan — out of an emotional period of time in her life. “I think I came out of a sad situation a…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Bitten Vampire? I wondered what happens when someone pours everything into a relationship, only to realize—ten years later—that they’ve lost themselves. My heroine hits that breaking point and says, “Enough.” Her restart proves that being older doesn’t mean the adventure has passed you by. She’s wonderfully imperfect, and the moment she chooses herself, she’s swept into magic, danger, and an unexpected romance. At its heart, the book celebrates the courage it takes to rewrite your life. No matter our age, we can all be the hero of our own…

Giant impact structures, including the potential remains of ancient “protoplanets,” may be lurking deep beneath the surface of Mars, new research hints. The mysterious lumps, which have been perfectly preserved within the Red Planet’s immobile innards for billions of years, may date back to the beginning of the solar system.In a new study, published Aug. 28 in the journal Science, researchers analyzed “Marsquake” data collected by NASA’s InSight lander, which monitored tremors beneath the Martian surface from 2018 until 2022, when it met an untimely demise from dust blocking its solar panels. By looking at how these Marsquakes vibrated through…

My mantra when getting dressed is always “comfort over everything,” especially when the temperatures start to drop. Leggings have been my go-to choice for year-round wear, whether traveling, running errands, or simply spending a day out with friends. And celebrities like Kaia Gerber and Lindsay Lohan have made leggings look put-together this year by pairing them with cardigans or button-downs recently, but what we’ve been missing this whole time is another comfortable pant trend: track pants. This summer, athletic shorts were the go-to sporty shorts trend for fashion people and celebrities like Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, and Emily Ratajkowski. And…

The death cap mushroom has been implicated in many people’s deaths, from Roman emperors to modern foragersShutterstock/Tisha Razumovsky Death cap mushrooms are back in the news. Amanita phalloides has once again been linked to poisonings, this time lacing beef Wellingtons served at a family meal in Leongatha, Australia, which resulted in three fatalities. Such incidents inevitably reignite public fear surrounding this deadly mushroom – and mushrooms in general. The fact that death caps look so innocuous only adds to their malevolent mystique. With their pale yellow cap and white gills, they can be mistaken for several edible fungi – which…

François Ozon and Albert Camus do not seem like a obvious fit. The French filmmaker’s rather louche and uninhibited style seems at odds with Camus’ trademark ennui, the patron saint of university students who smoke roll-ups and have a single tiny hoop earring. Yet Ozon has adapted Camus’ most well-known novella, The Stranger, which concerns a young Frenchman in Algiers who stands trial for the murder of a local man in cold blood. He doesn’t deny the charge, or offer a defence. The mystery is his total disinterest in the matter.The coltish Benjamin Voisin, who also starred Ozon’s in Summer of ​’85, plays Meursault. He…

Beyond being a kick-ass punk band, DC’s Ekko Astral are tireless advocates for trans rights.

With the song’s new animated music video, Ekko Astral add another notorious transphobe, JK Rowling, into the mix by showing the author hooking up with Chappelle in a bathroom.
