Over the past year, I unexpectedly found myself immersed in the wedding industry. I’m not complaining, though. To my surprise, I’ve had the chance to attend beautiful runway shows and meet one-on-one with many talented designers. It even led me on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Amanoi in Vietnam for Kyha’s fall 2026 runway show.Kyha is an Australia-based bridalwear brand that creates pieces for the fashion-forward bride who isn’t afraid to challenge traditional boundaries. (It’s also launching a ready-to-wear collection in November.) Kyha Scott, the founder and creative director, launched the brand in 2011 after being disappointed with the overly traditional…

Compare Our PicksOthers TestedPhotograph: Simon HillHoover HF4 Hydro for £199: For UK folks in flats or small houses with a mix of carpet and hard floor, this cordless, space-saving vacuum and mop from Hoover could be a smart pick. You get a standard cordless stick vac with around half an hour of battery life, but you can switch the head to mop. It’s excellent for cleaning hard floors, with a shape that gets right into corners and two rotating pads to lift stains. But the water tank, contained within the head, is tiny, the vacuum is only moderately powerful at…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Kep Westguard: The Second Battle of Saratoga? I’m a mom to two boys who loved when I’d drop them into history during bedtime stories, whether they were parachuting behind enemy lines in WWII or caught in the middle of a ship battle. Eventually, they got too old for bedtime stories, but I wasn’t ready to let go of the adventures. That’s when I started writing the Kep Westguard series. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Kep Westguard: The Second Battle of Saratoga, what…

The STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion ColliderBROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY We are getting closer to understanding when the strong nuclear force loosens its grip on the most basic constituents of matter, letting quarks and gluons inside particles abruptly turn into a hot particle soup. There is a special combination of temperature and pressure at which all three phases of water – liquid, ice and vapour – exist simultaneously. For decades, researchers have been looking for a similar “critical point” for matter governed by the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks and gluons into protons and neutrons. Smashing ions in…

Now and then it occurs to me that the future of my very existence, as well as that of the rest of our global population, lies in the hands of complete strangers. People I will never meet – let alone know their values, temperament, or rationale. Our combined fates in the wake of war, especially where nuclear weapons are concerned, teeter in the balance of strategy and protocol. As a veteran of the political thriller genre, it comes as no surprise that Kathryn Bigelow has experienced some degree of engrossment in the same matter, illustrated by the events that unfold within her…

The gas giants Jupiter and Saturn exhibit eastward-flowing equatorial jet streams, while the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have westward-flowing ones. This work demonstrates that, under similar conditions, a jet stream can form in either direction, suggesting a common underlying mechanism may govern the atmospheric dynamics of all four planets. The two simulation snapshots illustrate these possible outcomes. Credit: Keren Duer-Milner One of the most notable properties of the giant planets in our solar system—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—are the extreme winds observed around their equators. While some of these planets have eastward equatorial winds, others have a westward jet…

Celebrities’ attire for events has long been associated with extravagant dresses, but event-worthy clothing is being redefined by A-listers this time around. As someone who isn’t much of a dress wearer, I’m glad to see that so many celebrities are in on a new chic outfit trend: pinstripe suits.Notably, Greta Lee was recently spotted wearing a head-to-toe look from an emerging brand, Still Kelly. Lee’s pinstripe suit, in contrast to her neon yellow button-down and a pair of black flats, looked undeniably cool and still quite glam. While her approach to the suit was casual, other celebrities like Leslie Bibb…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Undrowned? Several traditional Chickasaw stories inspired Undrowned, but one stands apart—the story of the King of the Tie Snakes. While delivering a message to a neighboring village, the chief’s son impulsively tosses his father’s ceremonial vessel into a stream and instantly regrets it. He dives after it, only to be dragged into an underwater cavern where the floors and walls writhe with snakes. There, he meets the King of the Tie Snakes. I found my character, Jasper, in this boy, and Undrowned imagines why the King befriends him. If…

Legal experts WIRED spoke with say that the ICE monitoring and documentation apps that Apple has removed from its App Store are clear examples of protected speech under the US Constitution’s First Amendment. “These apps are publishing constitutionally protected speech.

When ICEBlock first rose to a top spot in Apple’s App Store in April, the Trump administration responded…
