It’s no exaggeration to say that drones have changed the way we view the world. They’ve taken once difficult and expensive moviemaking techniques and made them accessible to anyone. Videos that once required a camera crew, expensive cranes, and hours of filming can now be done in minutes by the best drones with the tap of a single Auto Takeoff button.Drones aren’t just flying cameras, though; they’re also the modern version of remote-controlled vehicles. Again, they’ve made flying easier and more accessible, thanks to intelligent collision sensors that protect your investment from mishaps. There are a dizzying array of drones…

The microscopic leaves of a liverwort, a primitive plant that helps scientists track climate change. Credit: Photo by Lauren Johnson, Field Museum. Ask any scientist—for every “Eureka!” moment, there’s a lot of less-than-glamorous work behind the scenes. Making discoveries about everything from a new species of dinosaur to insights about climate change entails some slogging through seemingly endless data and measurements that can be mind-numbing in large doses. Community science shares the burden with volunteers who help out, for even just a few minutes, on collecting data and putting it into a format that scientists can use. But the question…

The Supreme Court today overturned the legal right to abortion in the United States, returning the ability to regulate the procedure to the states, more than half of which have promised to ban it. The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization explicitly overturns the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed the right to abortion, prior to fetal viability, across the country.“Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for a…

By Alice Klein Labor leader Anthony Albanese is Australia’s new prime ministerXinhua/Shutterstock Australia’s election on 21 May has been described as a “greenslide” after voters abandoned the long-standing pro-coal Liberal-National Coalition government in droves in favour of candidates that support stronger action on climate change. The Labor party, which promised to do more to tackle climate change, has won the most seats overall, but it is unclear whether they can form a majority on their own. Their leader, Anthony Albanese, was sworn in as prime minister today. But the big surprise was the record number of seats snatched from both…

A team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota has significantly improved the performance of numerical predictions for agricultural nitrous oxide emissions. The first-of-its-kind knowledge-guided machine learning model is 1,000 times faster than current systems and could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The research was recently published in Geoscientific Model Development, a not-for-profit international scientific journal focused on numerical models of the Earth. Researchers involved were from the University of Minnesota, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of Pittsburgh.

The book takes a more realistic approach to space adventure, eschewing familiar tropes such as FTL drives and instantaneous communication. “When I’m reading science fiction, one of the things I can really get into is stuff that’s got a lot of scientific grounding,” Mixon says in Episode 517 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. “When I write, I try to really delve into that challenge of ‘How can I make this believable but still really blow the reader’s…

It’s basically about how I have this weird dependency on human contact to sleep.”Beatopia is…
“There was an idea to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to. To fight the battles that we never could.”That’s Nick Fury talking about the Avengers. But he could also be talking about the movie The Avengers and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After 14 years and dozens of movies, look at what became of this idea; bringing together all these remarkable people and seeing that, yes, they could be something more when they worked together, when their films were interwoven together…

CAR-T therapy, a form of immunotherapy that revs up T-cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells, has revolutionized the treatment of blood cancers, including certain leukemias, lymphomas, and most recently, multiple myeloma. However, Black and Hispanic people were largely absent from the major clinical trials that led to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of CAR-T cell therapies. In a study published today in Blood Marrow Transplantation (BMT), investigators at the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center (MECC) report that Black and Hispanic patients had outcomes and side effects following CAR-T treatment that were comparable to their white…
Graphic by Kayleen Dicuangco This Pride season, let’s put our dollars toward LGBTQIA2S+-founded and -owned beauty brands that are championing and supporting queer communities year-round. By Pascale Diverlus Date June 30, 2022 Pride month welcomes us with colourful sidewalks, the strategically planned product launch and a month’s worth of rainbow washing. Even as many beauty brands are vocal in their support of LGBTQIA2S+ people and communities, the industry has been criticized for tokenizing queer and trans people. Beauty means so much to queer and trans folks — it is affirmation, it is visibility and, often, it brings out the truest…
A nova is a galactic equivalent of a flashbang – an immensely powerful explosion of light and energy that is only visible for mere days before fading away. But a recently discovered nova has broken all previous records by fading away from view within just 24 hours. Discovered by amateur astronomer Seidji Ueda on June 21, 2021, the V1674 Herculis nova was seen on the border of the constellation Hercules the Hero that it shares with Sagitta and Aquila. “The white dwarf that exploded is massive and growing in mass toward a Supernova 1A explosion,” astronomer Sumner Starrfield of the University…

It’s amazing what we humans today have at our disposal for entertainment — everything from prestige dramas to reality TV. While it’s hard to distinguish what counts as the “first” reality television show, the genre really took hold in the early 1990s. Since then, reality TV has become a favorite for many viewers. Mark Twain once said that truth is stranger than fiction, and reality shows seem to prove that. There have been some absolutely bizarre reality TV programs to grace our screens over the years. Let’s revisit them, shall we?Finding true love has never been easy, but plenty of…

Nanoplastics are plastic particles of sizes less than 100 nm and when they are in water, they are dispersed in a colloidal form. Nanoplastics might be more prevalent than microplastics, but it is hard to analyze and study them in-depth…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Refined? When I was in my 40’s, I noticed on social media different stories about child abuse. I suppose I never thought about my past because there was no internet or social media before to compare my past to. I realized that my father had gotten away with crimes against me, so I began researching similar abuses, which led me to have a DNA test done. Once I received the results and met family members I hadn’t known existed, I discovered that these abuses had been handed down through…
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 finale “A Quality of Mercy.”] Over the 10 episodes of its first season, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds easily established itself as one of the best shows of the year.

A future version of Pike visits the present-day one to show him a future…

By David Cassels Date June 30, 2022 Fashion saved the lives of Dan and Dean Caten. Twenty years before Dsquared2 was even an idea, the identical designer twins grew up in Toronto. “Together we weathered all the storms, always finding shelter in each other,” reflects Dean. “It wasn’t until we dipped our toes into the fashion world that we really felt our purpose and accepted ourselves for who we are.” So it makes sense that since then, the…
