Each generation has its defining beauty moments. Being born in 1994, I grew up during the era when thin eyebrows were the look du jour, and as we approached the 2010s, I witnessed—and experienced—the browscape morph into HD brows (which, let’s be honest, wasn’t great either) before we finally settled on a happy medium of growing back our eyebrows, putting down the brow pomade and leaving our brows well alone (thanks, Glossier Boy Brow, for the support). Now, with TikTok beauty booming and Gen Z celebrities such as Olivia Rodrigo, Zendaya and Charithra Chandran stepping on the scene, it’s safe to say we’re entering a new…

A Virgin Orbit rocket carrying seven US Defense Department satellites was launched from a special Boeing 747 flying off the Southern California coast and streaked toward space Friday night.The modified jumbo jet took off from Mojave Air and Space Port in the Mojave Desert and released the rocket over the Pacific Ocean, northwest of Los Angeles.The launch was procured by the US Space Force for a Defense Department test programme. The seven payloads will conduct various experiments.“And there we have it, folks!” the company tweeted shortly before 1:00am local time, about an hour after the rocket separated from the 747. “NewtonFour…
All hail Black Sabbath! That’s what members of the British Parliament are saying as calls heat up for Queen Elizabeth to officially recognize the heavy metal godfathers for their “services to music.”On August 12, Khalid Mahmood, Labour Member of Parliament since 2001 for Birmingham Perry Barr, shared a letter on his Twitter account co-signed by seven additional leaders asking her Royal Highness to formally recognize the “pioneers of heavy metal music.”In the letter, the representatives note the quartet, formed in Birmingham in 1968, “helped define the genre.” Mahmood also notes that after half the members of Black Sabbath recently led…

As we experience more things and our worldviews become our own and not just a reflection of our parents’ or guardians’, we can find that even the stories with seemingly universal themes can hit us differently. For me, I see this happening in three general categories: First, the books that I couldn’t appreciate fully because I was just too young to grasp the entire message. I grew up…
While many artificial materials have advanced properties, they have a long way to go to combine the versatility and functionality of living materials that can adapt to their situation. For example, in the human body bone and muscle continuously reorganise their structure and composition to better sustain changing weight and level of activity. Now, researchers from Imperial College London and University College London have demonstrated the first spontaneously self-organising laser device, which can reconfigure when conditions change. The innovation, reported in Nature Physics, will help enable the development of smart photonic materials capable of better mimicking properties of biological matter,…
It’s official. The CW, as we know it, is over. After months of speculation about the future of the young-skewing network, we finally have some clarity. Nexstar Media Group revealed Monday that it will acquire a 75 percent ownership stake in the network. Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global will each keep a 12.5 percent minority stake. The move means that both companies will continue making select programming for the network. However, Nexstar will also be looking to other companies for content, meaning that there will likely be some huge changes to the slate as a whole. “Our acquisition of…
For the first time, researchers successfully sequenced the genome of ancient human fossils from the Late Pleistocene in southern China. The data, published July 14 in the journal Current Biology, suggests that the mysterious hominin belonged to an extinct maternal branch of modern humans that might have contributed to the origin of Native Americans. “Ancient DNA technique is a really powerful tool,” Su says. “It tells us quite definitively that the Red Deer Cave people were modern humans instead of an archaic species, such as Neanderthals or Denisovans, despite their unusual morphological features,” he says. The researchers compared the genome…

“This is my life,” Wallach says. “There is nothing else I’d rather be doing. If I was given a billion dollars, today, the first thing I would do is build a superlab.” When Compass came calling, he finally got the golden opportunity to pursue that dream. Maybe not a full-blown, billion-dollar superlab. But a lab of his own.In pop culture, psychedelia is a Day-Glo tapestry of mandalas, black-light inks, tie-dye, and phat pants embossed with lime-green alien heads. In their various states of synthesis and manufacture, psychoactive drugs are decidedly unkaleidoscopic: brownish, yellowish, and vaguely gross, like plaque scraped off…
It’s never easy saying farewell. Goodbyes so often get caught in your throat. It may be easier to let someone else do the talking, or in this case, the singing. A fast bpm helps move your feet toward the door, and heartfelt lyrics tell a story with all the grace and strength that escapes us in our saddest moments. From upbeat “outta here” anthems to slow and simmering “see ya laters,” the pop music world is full of fantastic farewells. Whether it’s a swinging ‘60s single from The Beatles or John Denver, a ’90s sing-along from Semisonic or Green Day,…
The fate of The Flash apparently rests in Ezra Miller’s hands.The controversial star continues to generate one negative headline after another; a few days ago, they were charged with felony burglary in Vermont. Warner Bros. has consistently maintained that the movie will come out, despite Miller’s repeated run-ins with the law. But so far, Miller’s problems have not improved, and the movie is still almost a year away. That leaves a lot of uncertainty about what happens next.According to The Hollywood Reporter, that’s left Warner Bros. preparing for three possible outcomes. The first: Miller seeks professional help and quickly gets their act…

Breathing new life into a franchise that even a die-hard (pardon the puns) horror fan like myself has grown weary of, as casts scatter and tiresomely odious human antagonists keep obscuring the zombie-scape, Tales of the Walking Dead is a welcome reminder that less can be more. I’ve seen four of the six episodes of this eclectic anthology of stand-alone Walking Dead vignettes, and while this format is uneven by its very nature, I’m especially encouraged by the shifting tones these stories attempt, from whimsy to the usual gory suspense with a side of existential despair. Dare I say that…

What should I use a cold tool for? Dubroff, who’s worked with stars like Margot Robbie and Simone Ashley, says she uses cold tools as a quick fix when working on set, especially early in the morning. She opts for the Joanna Vargas Magic Glow Wand, which features a cool and a hot setting. For Dubroff, cold tools are great for “anytime you want something to just feel less puffy, saggy, inflamed. It’s not forever, but it’s a good fix.” While most of the benefits are temporary, Boakye says ice rolling (or applying any cold tool) four to five times…
If we can use mycelium composites to build structures that change how we live on this planet, Hendrikx began to think we could also change how we leave it. Traditional means of disposing of the dead—burial in wood and metal caskets, or cremation—leave an indelible mark on the planet, polluting the soil or the air. A mycelium casket, Hendrikx thought, would in theory allow the dead to enrich the soil, turning polluted cemeteries into flourishing forests.The Living Cocoon is more than a casket. For Hendrikx, it is the first step in establishing a mutualistic relationship between humanity and nature. Alongside…
Following Olivia Newton-John‘s death, the icon’s nephew shared one of his favorite memories with her in a new interview on Wednesday (Aug. 10). “Other than being the wonderful caring person who always called and asked about how life was going for you, she was the best fun to be around, humble and funny,” Brett Goldsmith told People. The Australian songwriter then recounted a story about the time he traveled with the Grease star while she was on tour in Paris in 1978. “She had a makeup artist and costume designer come to the hotel to make her up in disguise,” he…

Fossils of a small, prickly dinosaur recently discovered in South America may represent an entire lineage of armored dinosaurs previously unknown to science. The newly discovered species, Jakapil kaniukura, looks like a primitive relative of armored dinosaurs like Ankylosaurus or Stegosaurus, but it came from the Cretaceous, the last era of the dinosaurs, and lived between 97 million and 94 million years ago. That means a whole lineage of armored dinosaurs lived in the Southern Hemisphere but had gone completely undetected until now, paleontologists reported in a new study. J. kaniukura weighed about as much as a house cat and had a…
Starting on July 26, flash flooding of historical magnitude devastated various counties in the states of Kentucky and Missouri. This has resulted in the death of at least 37 people, as well as the displacement of thousands of others. Other terrible consequences of the flooding include power outage, ruined roads, destroyed homes, and flooded schools. Andy Beshear, Governor of Kentucky, stated that over 600 people have been rescued since the beginning of the crisis. The situation is so bad that President Joe Biden approved funding to support disaster relief efforts in Kentucky. This funding is, and will continue to be,…
Days of Our Lives was the first American soap to feature a male-male wedding. Is it about to break another barrier? Spoilers for Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-15-22 suggest that Alex will ask to be the boyfriend of both Allie and Chanel. Days of our Lives isn’t the first series to try a polyamory story — the defunct Aussie soap Neighbours did so in 2021, and there was a similar story on New Amsterdam Season 4. But will DAYS get it right? While that would be an exciting development, Alex is not particularly likable, and he…
Flow chart of how the emulator developed by the research team works. Credit: Kavli IPMU, NAOJ By applying a machine-learning technique, a neural network method, to gigantic amounts of simulation data about the formation of cosmic structures in the universe, a team of researchers has developed a very fast and highly efficient software program that can make theoretical predictions about structure formation. By comparing model predictions to actual observational datasets, the team succeeded in accurately measuring cosmological parameters, reports a study in Physical Review D. When the biggest galaxy survey to date in the world, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey…

In countries like Norway, EVs are expensive, and that means families often have the budget for just one car, says Sovacool, whose research shows that men use cars more than women and are less likely to use public transport.In countries like the US, women may be more likely to have range anxiety, suggests Philipp Kampshoff, who heads up McKinsey’s Center for Future Mobility in the Americas. “This anxiety around, ‘Am I going to be somewhere, lost, with no charger close by?’ could be scarier,” he says.Joan Hollins just bought her first electric vehicle this month, a Hyundai Kona EV in…
Music fans may have been shocked when Iron Maiden reunited with vocalist Bruce Dickinson in 1999, but the biggest surprise might have been for Blaze Bayley. The singer famously filled in the gap for six years when Dickinson quit the heavy metal giants in 1993 to pursue a solo career, but Bayley admits in a new interview he “never” feared that Dickinson would return.Speaking with Rolling Stone’s Andy Greene for the “King For A Day” series that interviews fill-in singers who have replaced prominent vocalists, Bayley said, “I never had that fear because I thought there were eras of that band. Clive [Burr]…
Stan Lee is famous for co-creating the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-Men, but one of his coolest inventions is almost totally unknown beyond hardcore comics fans.It was called the “No-Prize.” As Marvel’s popularity exploded in the 1960s, Lee’s gregarious public persona fueled the books’ letters columns, which were flooded with enthusiastic fan mail. Marvel’s carefully plotted and interconnected comics universe drew extremely attentive readers, who soon noticed that despite Lee and the Marvel staff’s best efforts, some stories and moments didn’t quite add up. The Hulk might show up in an issue of The Mighty Thor, the same day he was supposedly in…

The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient shoebox-sized device that is sometimes called the world’s oldest computer for its ability to perform astronomical calculations. Discovered by sponge divers off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901, the remains of the mechanism are now preserved in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. Only 82 fragments, consisting of about one-third of the original mechanism, survive today, researchers wrote in a 2021 study published in the journal (opens in new tab). It was built around 2,200 years ago.What did the Antikythera mechanism do?The mechanism was capable of performing different calculations, and it could help track…
