Justice, like lightning…Careful Marvel observers have predicted it was coming, and they were correct: The next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will include a version of the Thunderbolts. The super-team, first created in the 1990s by writer Kurt Busiek and artist Mark Bagley, have one of the most interesting (and complicated) histories at Marvel.In all of its many incarnations, the team is basically a group of super-villains who masquerade as superheroes. How they go about that is typically what varies from series to series. The very first Thunderbolts group kept their identities secret from the public, and even from readers of…

Bottlenose dolphins appear to seek out certain corals and sponges that produce compounds with antibacterial or hormone-like properties Life 19 May 2022 By Alex Wilkins Dolphins may be treating their own wounds and infections by rubbing themselves against corals and sea sponges that have antibacterial properties. Many marine mammals, such as orcas and beluga whales, rub their bodies against underwater materials like sand, pebbles or limestone, perhaps to help shed the outer layers of their skin in the summer. But similar behaviour has been less well studied in dolphins. Angela Ziltener at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and her colleagues…

For millennia, many animals and plants have coped with occasional climate changes by moving into new areas. But humans’ relatively recent burning of fossil fuels is pushing global temperatures upward at an exceptionally rapid rate, placing many species on what a new book by science journalist Benjamin von Brackel notes has been called an “escalator to extinction”—and raising the question of whether migration can save them this time. It is estimated that land-dwelling animals are now moving toward the poles at a rate of an average of about 17 kilometers (more than 10 miles) per decade and that the front…
There’s a lot to consider when selecting the right nail polish. Does it complement your skin tone? Is it versatile enough to wear with your favourite clothes? Does it look cheap?

Editor’s Note: Get tickets to Rage Against the Machine’s upcoming tour dates here. Back in 2020, the timing for a Rage Against The Machine reunion couldn’t have been more appropriate: after nine years away and ahead of a symbolic and high-stakes election, the Los Angeles quartet decided it was time to be back in front of the people once again to serve politically-charged catharsis en masse. But of course, the pandemic offset Rage’s tour plans by not one, but two years, and even compared to 2020, the world is quite different than it once was. Luckily, attendees at Rage Against…

Disposable gowns designed to deflect the splatter of bodily fluids, used in thousands of U.S. hospitals, have underperformed in recent and ongoing laboratory tests and may fall short of safety standards, leaving health care workers with a greater risk of infection than advertised. A peer-reviewed academic study, published to little notice amid the coronavirus pandemic, found that isolation gowns commonly worn in medical units or intensive care units ripped too easily and allowed about four to 14 times the expected amount of liquid to seep through when sprayed or splashed. “I’m amazed that facilities are using them,” said study co-author…
Edward BerthelotGetty Images Dry hair can lead to so many difficulties, like frizz, breakage, and plenty of split-ends. While we have hair oils, masks, and leave-in treatments that can alleviate and treat many of these issues, sometimes the simplest solution is best. When our face feels dry, we apply moisturizer. Why don’t we do the same for our hair? Whether it’s labeled as a moisturizer or a leave-in conditioner, it’s a holy grail product that rehydrates and shields your hair from the brisk winds, rough towels, harsh ingredients, and touchy-feely hands it encounters daily (cue: Solange).

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Princess Paradigm? I’ve long been a fan of elves (the first fantasy books I fell in love with were R. A. Salvatore’s Drizzt books), so when I started thinking of doing fantasy romance, it was natural to want to bring in some sexy elves. Who doesn’t love pointed ears? In the first book I wrote in this world, The Elf Tangent, the hero was an elf. In this one, the story focuses on his sister, an elf princess with a few issues to work through, and the hunky…

A treatment process can turn old pieces of wood into a new super-strong material called “healed wood” Technology 19 May 2022 By Alex Wilkins Wood for recycling can now be turned into a substance stronger than steelurose/Getty Images A material made from recycled wood is five times stronger than natural wood and can be made from any timber by-product, including shavings and sawdust. Wood is a hugely versatile material, but millions of tonnes go into landfill each year. To build a truly circular economy, wood will need to be re-used on a grander scale.

Each Diptyque candle is inspired by a time, place or story. For example, the Figuier (Fig Tree) candle was created to capture the memories of the founders’ many holidays in Mount Pelion, Greece, where, each day, they crossed a natural grove of wild fig trees to reach the sea. There’s no denying Diptyque candles have a certain je ne sais quoi about them, which can only be understood when you’ve burned one for yourself. Unsure which Diptyque candles you should invest in? Keep scrolling to discover the brand’s best sellers, the three candles that started it all, and some of the Who What…
For years, the anonymity service Tor has been the best way to stay private online and dodge web censorship. Much to the ire of governments and law enforcement agencies, Tor encrypts your web traffic and sends it through a chain of computers, making it very hard for people to track you online. Authoritarian governments see it as a particular threat to their longevity, and in recent months, Russia has stepped up its long-term ambition to block Tor—although not without a fight.In December 2021, Russia’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, enacted a 4-year-old court order that allows it to order internet service providers…
Marcus Mumford unveiled his first solo single, “Cannibal,” last week, but what he didn’t mention at the time was that the accompanying black-and-white visuals had been directed by none other than Steven Spielberg making his music video debut. “On Sunday 3rd July in a high school gym in New York, Steven Spielberg directed his first music video, in one shot, on his phone,” Mumford wrote on social media. He added that Kate Capshaw, who starred as Willie Scott in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and has played the role of Spielberg’s wife since 1991, served as “the almighty dolly grip.”…

Scientists have pinpointed the moment in time our earliest ancestors evolved to be warm-blooded, and it happened much later and far more quickly than the researchers expected.The discovery, made by studying the minuscule tubes of the inner ear, places the evolution of mammalian warm-bloodedness at around 233 million years ago — 19 million years later than scientists previously thought.These semicircular canals are filled with a viscous fluid, called endolymph, that tickles tiny hairs lining the canals as the fluid sloshes around. These hairs transmit messages to the brain, giving it instructions for how to keep the body balanced. Like some…

Imagine a movie theater as big as the great outdoors. That’s what portable projectors make possible: family movie night anywhere. Just consider whether you will have access to a power outlet. If so, you may want a projector with over 3,000 lumens so you can watch in the daytime — but note that you’ll probably still need plenty of shade. No outlet? Portable projectors typically work best at nighttime. (Also, you’ll need a screen, usually sold separately, to project onto.) The BenQ GS50 1080p (below; $750, Amazon) is one high-end option with nice bells and whistles like a Bluetooth speaker…
Build it and they will come. DARPA opened the Internet in 1969. And people came. Slowly. Over the course of 20 years. Then those people built their own cyber dreams and gave us the Worldwide Web, the Netscape browser, Facebook, Google and Amazon. And what started as a dark and lonely place now has five billion users. The same is beginning to happen with SpaceX’s 100 passenger rocket, the Starship. The Starship is still undergoing testing for its first orbital launch. But 21 academics have published a paper showing how you could lay Starships on their belly on the moon…
Adding erythropoietin to cooling therapy for term newborns with birth asphyxia has no benefit over cooling therapy alone, a study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The findings contrast with results from small trials in which erythropoietin appeared safe and effective, noted Dr. Sandra “Sunny” Juul, senior author of the study. The Alan Hodson Endowed Professor of Pediatrics at the UW School of Medicine, Juul is also the UW Medicine chief of neonatology (newborn medical care) and practices at Seattle Chldren’s.

Beyoncé’s long-awaited “Renaissance” album is finally here, and it delivers on not only the soul-stirring music she’s known for, but also the striking visuals she’s come to master. Styled by Marni Senofonte and KJ Moody, the album photo shoot serves up plenty of editorial inspiration. In one shot, Beyoncé wears a sheer lace turtleneck maxi mermaid dress in vivid green, covered in leaf motifs and flaring out into a furry fishtail. In another, the “Break My Soul” singer looks just as ravishing in a black sweetheart neckline eyelet catsuit, complete with matching gloves and finished with an avant-garde headpiece and…
