Astrophysicists have developed the first 3D simulation of the entire evolution of a jet from its birth by a rotating black hole to its emission far from the collapsing star.Simulation shows that as the star collapses, its material falls on the disk that swirls around the black hole. This falling material tilts the disk, and, in turn, tilts the jet, which wobbles as it struggles to return to its original trajectory.The wobbling jet explains the longstanding mystery of why Gamma-ray Bursts blink and shows that these bursts are even rarer than previously thought.Because these jets generate Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) —…

The TV series would also be co-produced by The Gordon Company, who was behind the original film.The TV series was supposed to be…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Accidental Oligarch: A Ukrainian Saga? I founded a non-profit called Internews 40 years ago, and with our partners we train journalists in more than 100 countries. Ukraine was one of the first and our longest-running program. We essentially developed the first generation of independent media in the country after independence in 1991. I’ve been impressed with Ukrainians for years. And, the timing of this book’s publishing came right at the start of the 2022 war with Russia. All proceeds from this book I am donating to Internews to…

African wild dog pups. Credit: Bobby-Jo Vial As climate change alters environments across the globe, scientists have discovered that in response, many species are shifting the timing of major life events, such as reproduction. With an earlier spring thaw, for example, some flowers bloom sooner. But scientists don’t know whether making these significant changes in life history will ultimately help a species survive or lead to bigger problems. A study published the week of June 27 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows for the first time that a species of large carnivore has made a major…

Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have found an alternative explanation for a mysterious gamma-ray signal coming from the centre of the galaxy, which was long claimed as a signature of dark matter. Gamma-rays are the form of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength and highest energy. Co-author of the study Associate Professor Roland Crocker said this particular gamma-ray signal — known as the Galactic Centre Excess — may actually come from a specific type of rapidly-rotating neutron star, the super-dense stellar remnants of some stars much more massive than our sun. The Galactic Centre Excess is an unexpected…

CLIMATEWIRE | New policies established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency aimed at helping individuals qualify for disaster aid have resulted in nearly 100,000 people receiving assistance who would have been ineligible previously, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said yesterday. FEMA last summer expanded the types of documentation that people can use to show that they live in an area that was declared a federal disaster or own a home that was damaged in a disaster and are eligible for cash assistance, hotel stays and other emergency aid. The expansion was designed to help low-income and minority residents, who are more…

Sylvan Esso have officially entered a new era. Following the release of their thematically intertwined first three albums, the electronic duo are ready to move on with the new single “Your Reality.” In a statement, Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn described Sylvan Esso,What Now, and Free Love as a trilogy. With the triad complete, “Your Reality” allowed Sylvan Esso to push past their established sound in order to see “how weird we can take it,” as Sanborn said, “How bare and strange something can be.” As such, the single bubbles with intricate percussion as Meath ponders the state of the world. “Were there…
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Pong appearing at a local bar near Atari headquarters and breaking down repeatedly because the coin mechanism was too full of quarters. It wasn’t the first video game, but it was the one that broke the floodgates and created the gaming industry as we know it today. The current Atari doesn’t have a large connection to the innovative company of the past, but they have brought on the archival specialists at Digital Eclipse to create a 90-game collection that will let players everywhere experience the full history of gaming’s first first-party publisher.

Nice to see so many folks coming back over to the Darth side. After decades of derision for the Star Wars prequels, Hayden Christensen is finally feeling the love. Thanks to Disney+‘s Obi-Wan Kenobi, which reunites the Canadian actor with on-screen buddy Ewan McGregor for an epic six-part second round, Christensen is currently killing it, mostly in the show’s flashbacks to his pre-Palpatine Anakin Skywalker. And let’s face it, there was no way this show was going to work without these two crossing paths — and lightsabers — again. “I thought it was so exciting,” he recalls of the first…
Kids under five years old have just become the last age group made eligible for a COVID vaccine in the U.S. A Food and Drug Administration advisory committee voted 21 to 0 in favor of authorizing the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children aged six months through four years and authorizing the Moderna vaccine for those aged six months through five years. The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee’s decision reflects a consensus among the panel’s health experts that the vaccines’ benefits outweigh the risks for the littlest children. The FDA had concluded, based on its own analyses, that both…
When it comes to occasion dressing, knowing what to wear to the races is perhaps the most challenging. Thanks to the strict dress codes and age-old formal traditions, it can be easy to not feel like yourself and end up buying something you would never ever wear again. Because really how practical is a fascinator that looks like a tropical bird? And, for that matter, how much do you even want to own one?Races such as Goodwood are the chance to dress up and wear something you wouldn’t usually, but there are some key things you need to bear in…

Megadeth have formerly announced their highly anticipated new album The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!, arriving September 2nd. The thrash legends also shared the video for lead single “We’ll Be Back.” Dave Mustaine and company bust out of the gates with an absolute ripper. Lightning fast riffs are bolstered by machine-gun drumming — appropriate given the song’s war-themed lyrical content. The hyper-realistic music video depicts those words quite literally, featuring close-quarter military gun battles (viewer discretion advised). The release date announcement and new song come after months of hype and speculation. We’ve known the album title for some time now…

There are cells in the body known as pluripotent stem cells that are yet to specialize in a particular biological function. These cells maintain the potential to become any of the possible cell types in an organism. Pluripotent stem cells have shown great promise in fields such as regenerative and transplant medicine for their properties, including unlimited self-renewal. The protein NANOG is the telltale marker of pluripotent stem cells and a necessary ingredient to reset specialized cells back into naïve, untrained stem cells. How human NANOG accomplishes this feat remains largely a mystery. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and…

The clip offers some big scenes, but all of the exciting stuff is actually shared in the official synopsis for the season ahead. “La Brea follows an epic family adventure after…
Four different Australopithecus crania that were found in the Sterkfontein caves, South Africa. The Sterkfontein cave fill containing this and other Australopithecus fossils was dated to 3.4 to 3.6 million years ago, far older than previously thought. The new date overturns the long-held concept that South African Australopithecus is a younger offshoot of East African Australopithecus afarensis.

The earth doesn’t give up its secrets easily—not even in the “Cradle of Humankind” in South Africa, where a wealth of fossils relating to human evolution have been…
