Recently, a few of us in the Book Riot back channels were commiserating about how an upcoming graphic novel was categorized as manga, therefore confusing us all when it simply didn’t follow manga formatting (namely, being read from right to left). A little extra googling led us to find that said graphic novel was “manga-inspired” and left us with even more confusion. Why does U.S. publishing use labels so liberally and inaccurately? What does “manga-inspired” even mean? I’m not quite cut out for tackling all of U.S. publishing’s problems, but please do allow me to take this opportunity to tell…

Another few months pass, and another wave hits the United States. Right now, the Omicron subvariant BA.2 is the dominant strain in the United States. In mid-April, the city of Philadelphia became the first major city to reinstate a mask mandate to protect yourself and others from Covid-19.

Who knows anymore.)A good face mask is a critical tool in helping slow the spread of Covid-19. We’ve been outfitting our kids and…
More and more shipping in the Arctic, including big transport tankers, poses challenges in this remote, pristine environment. Credit: MikhailSS / Shutterstock / NTB More than 600 fishing vessels sail the icy waters of the Arctic. But just over two dozen big tankers are the worst offenders when it comes to air pollution in this vulnerable region. In 2021, just 26 natural gas tankers cruised through Arctic waters, as compared to the hundreds of fishing vessels that also ply these rich fishing grounds. But the giant tankers, which can be 300 meters long or more, account for the largest share…

When designing a next-generation quantum computer, a surprisingly large problem is bridging the communication gap between the classical and quantum worlds. Such computers need a specialized control and readout electronics to translate back and forth between the human operator and the quantum computer’s languages — but existing systems are cumbersome and expensive. However, a new system of control and readout electronics, known as Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, developed by engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, has proved to drastically improve quantum computer performance while cutting the cost of control equipment. “The development of…

I never knew what my back did for me until I broke it. Turns out, it did everything. It helped me stand, sit, and lie down. It helped me walk and run.

My entire body became tense, a rubber band stretched to its wavering limit.I was 20 years old and my expansive life was suddenly reduced to my dorm room, barely bigger than a bathroom. Sitting in a car could be agonizing. A staircase loomed like an…
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University presents a new study demonstrating that a small molecule in brain cells affects the level of hypocretin, which is responsible for making us feel awake during the day and tired at night. People with a genetic variation of this molecule have a higher risk of suffering from daytime sleepiness. When brain scientist Birgitte Kornum from the Department of Neuroscience recently arrived in Rome for one of the largest sleep conferences in the world, she was completely taken aback. There were pharmaceutical companies everywhere — with stands, information material and campaigns. They…

Astronomers have confirmed that an object they thought was a distant galaxy is actually the brightest extra-galactic pulsar ever seen. The team made the discovery using a technique that blocks a particular type of polarized light, similar to polarized sunglasses, which could be used to spy more ‘hidden’ pulsars. Pulsars are highly magnetized spinning neutron stars that form from the collapsed remnants of exploded stars. As pulsars spin, they release a stream of radio waves from their poles — a ‘pulse’ that can be detected using radio telescopes. Astronomers use pulsars to test theories of gravity and to look for…
