“There is a really deep interconnection between the chip industry and the US defense industry,” says Chris Miller, an assistant professor at Tufts University and the author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology, a forthcoming book about the race between the US and China to dominate chips. “Both countries have been gearing up for a future of war that is heavily computing-driven.”The legislation shows that risks posed by China are one of the few things that Democratic and Republican politicians can agree on. And it marks a shift in government from faith in the free…

CLIMATEWIRE | As the smoke clears from the Supreme Court’s major climate ruling last week, legal experts and clean energy groups say the country still has many options for achieving a dramatic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Last week, the high court’s conservative majority rejected the Obama administration’s systemic approach to power plant regulation in the Clean Power Plan that it had blocked from going into effect in 2016. The 6-3 decision found that EPA did not have clear direction from Congress in the Clean Air Act to craft a rule based on power plants shifting their energy sources from…

On Sunday, July 24, the new series, WWE Rivals, that profiles pro wrestling’s greatest foes puts the spotlight on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson vs. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (above in 1997). Classic clips and taped interviews with the men chart the rivalry that propelled them to the main card of three WrestleManias. But it’s actor Freddie Prinze Jr., a former WWE writer who leads a roundtable of experts in each episode, who steals this show. He shares just how much his Puerto Rican grandma hated The Rock after he turned corporate heel in 1998: She stopped talking to Prinze’s wife,…
I’ve tried so many protective styles over the years including braids, wigs, weaves and twists. The best thing about protective styling is that you wake up with your hair pretty much done every day, something that I revel in when comparing the daily management of my curly hair when I decide to wear it in a natural style. Most of the time now I opt for a U-part wig. I leave two thirds of my hair cornrowed underneath and then the top section covers and blends in with the rest of the wig for a seamless look. When it comes…
The M2 might sound like it’s better, but it’s a base-level chip next to the M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra powering the $2,000+ MacBook Pro models. It’s easy to be swayed by Apple’s stats, which boast that the M2 processor has a 35 percent more powerful GPU, 18 percent faster CPU, and 40 percent faster neural engine compared to the M1. But it’s not quite enough for most professionals, who require more computing power. (The M2, just like the M1, still only supports one external monitor, unlike the M1 Pro and up.)The M2 performed well. Most of the…

While blood clotting is important to prevent blood loss and for our immunity, coagulation also can cause health issues and even death. Currently, one in four people worldwide dies from diseases and conditions caused by blood clots. Meanwhile, anticoagulants used to reduce risks can also cause significant issues, such as uncontrolled bleeding. Now, a new biomolecular anticoagulant platform invented by a team led by UNC Charlotte researcher Kirill Afonin holds promise as a revolutionary advancement over the blood thinners currently used during surgeries and other procedures. The team’s discoveries are reported in the journal Nano Letters, first available online on…
The Colosseum was the largest amphitheater built in ancient Rome. The massive arena held thousands of spectators, who packed the stands to watch gladiators battle to the death and fight exotic animals, such as lions. Built in A.D. 72, the four-story amphitheater soon towered nearly 165 feet (50 meters) high. The Roman Empire used the Colosseum for more than four centuries before it ceased to function as a sporting arena as spectators lost interest in the type of grisly public entertainment it provided.After the Colosseum stopped hosting events, Roman citizens quarried the Colosseum’s stones for other building projects, John Henry…

Photography courtesy of Getty Images Release the stress! By Jillian Morgan Date June 21, 2022 I tumbled out of bed this morning, poured myself a cup of ambition (à la Dolly Parton) and hit play on the new Beyoncé song, “Break My Soul,” only for her to tell me to get back into bed. The genre-bending bop marks the start of the Queen B Renaissance, her seventh solo album. Due to drop July 29, the record comes more than six years after the release of the pop culture phenomenon that was Lemonade. And if the lyrics to “Break My Soul”…
Meta’s controversial cryptocurrency project is coming to an end with the announcement that the Novi digital wallet will close on 1st September 2022.

About 40% of the world’s civilian-owned firearms are in the United States, a country that has had some 1.4 million gun deaths in the past four decades. And yet, until recently, there has been almost no federal funding for research that could inform gun policy. US gun violence is back in the spotlight after mass shootings this May in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas. And after a decades-long stalemate on gun controls in the US Congress, lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill that places some restrictions on guns. President Joe Biden signed it into law on 25 June. The law,…

Fair enough. Slack Huddles exists as a feature within Slack, which means you can’t use Huddles to send a Zoom-like link or invite them to a scheduled video meeting. Huddles also caps the number of participants—to 50 people in the business version of Slack, or just two for free Slack users.That leaves Slack, which was acquired by Salesforce last year for $28 billion, teetering between diving into the videoconferencing market and trying to stay outside it. “That’s a market with a lot of big dominant brands—Cisco, Zoom, Microsoft. And it’s tricky being in an adjacent market,” says Mike Gotta, a…
We’re just a little over two months shy of the release of Slipknot’s seventh studio album The End, So Far.

It’s been compared to a “heavier version” of Vol. 3:…

A tiny flower that blossomed 30 million years ago still lingers today in near-perfect condition, preserved inside an airless amber tomb with only a wee wasp — also frozen in place — for company. Finding this insect and bloom suspended close together offers clues about their relationship in the tropical ancient ecosystem that they once inhabited, according to a new study published June 16 in the journal Historical Biology (opens in new tab). The bloom belongs to a previously unknown flower species in an exceptionally rare group, and hidden inside one of its spherical seed pods was a secret stowaway: the…
Post-it Notes, Spanx, the iPhone, two-day Prime shipping. From unique gadgets to revolutionary business ideas, the most successful inventions have one thing in common: creativity. But sustaining creativity can be difficult. New research from Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, has identified one reason why some first-time producers struggle to repeat their initial creative productions while others go on to continually produce creative works. Markus Baer, professor of organizational behavior at Olin, and Dirk Deichmann, of the Rotterdam School of Management in the Netherlands, discovered that recognizing first-time producers of…
