X cracks down on creators who steal content

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:40:36 +0000

X is taking a tougher stance against people who try to abuse its creator revenue-sharing program by soliciting engagement and stealing content from others.

It’s common for viral content to be recirculated, especially on platforms like X, where that content can be rewarded with likes, follows, and, in some cases, cold, hard cash. Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit also deal with this problem, and have implemented some technical measures to discourage such behavior — for instance, tools that detect when a user has reposted someone else’s work without giving them credit.

They are the cell's "gatekeepers": specialized proteins, known as transporters, selectively control which substances enter a cell and which do not. Researchers at the University of Münster and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens have investigated these transporters in a specific case: the UapA transporter of the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans. The findings are not only relevant to cell biology but could also offer new approaches to treating fungal infections.

Graphene has long been regarded as one of the most promising materials for future electronics, but its relatively weak electron interactions have limited its potential for applications such as high-temperature superconductivity. Now, researchers from Tohoku University have overcome a major obstacle by creating a stable version of the long-sought "boron graphene" on the surface of a three-dimensional crystal, revealing a new quantum state that could lead to more energy-efficient electronic devices. The findings were published in Science Advances on July 2, 2026.

Drive-Thru Bans Are Increasing, But Then, So Are Drive-Thrus Themselves - Jalopnik

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 20:25:00 +0000

It's become something like a Whack-a-Mole nightmare: Drive-thru restaurants are popping up across the country in ever-larger numbers, despite more and more cities trying to drop the hammer on new drive-thru construction. Now, there doesn't seem to be a national database of drive-thru restaurants in the U.S., but we can still find real-world data to show their growth. For example, the country counted an estimated 215,000 fast-food restaurants as of 2025. That represents a 20,000-store increase since 2020 — and 68% of fast-food outlets include drive-thrus (via Actowiz). Some relatively new players to the drive-thru game are expanding their presence, too. Chipotle is a case in point. The company opened its 1,000th drive-thru "Chipotlane" store in 2024 and added another 257 in 2025.

Scientists explain how nucleolus sub-compartments drive ribosome assembly

Credit: Molecular Cell (2026). DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2026.06.035

The nucleolus is a liquid-like cellular organelle where protein factories called ribosomes are assembled. Researchers knew of three distinct compartments within the nucleolus, but how these compartments function to drive ribosome assembly was unclear. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, published today in Molecular Cell, reveals that smaller subcompartments containing ribosome building blocks and assembly proteins spontaneously form to finish the final steps of ribosome assembly. This reveals unprecedented levels of organization behind the process and may offer insight into diseases associated with increased ribosome production, such as cancer.

There are only two seasons, but they’re both fantastic

Ever since I watched the original cartoon series on Saturday mornings back in the 1990s, I’ve been a fan of The Tick. That show — which starred voice actor Townsend Coleman as the Big Blue Bug of Justice — was the perfect example of really smart writing for a really dumb character, making it not only hilariously silly for children, but the perfect show to rewatch as an adult.

Described by Paramount as a “live-to-picture orchestral experience that “combines live music with cinematic visuals,” the shows will feature high definition projections of major scenes from “The Legend of Korra” in chronological order backed by a symphony that pulls from composer Jeremy Zuckerman’s score. Exclusive merchandise will also be available for purchase at the tour stops.

"Our games take a long time, our staff was very limited, and our financing was very project-to-project." So it was a little surprising he was also telling me Torpor are today announcing not one but three new projects - two DLCs and a spin-off.

Ekko Astral Say Goodbye, For Now

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 14:00:00 +0000

J ust two years ago, D.C. punk band Ekko Astral felt on top of the world. Their debut album, Pink Balloons, struck a chord with young Americans watching the 2024 election unfold into a repeat nightmare, and made waves well beyond their local scene; it was sad, hilarious, and invigorating, all at the same time. Ekko’s success landed them opening slots for Jeff Rosenstock and PUP, then sent them back in the studio to make a new record they called The Beltway is Burning. They didn’t know how to make sense of it all. All they knew was that it felt awesome.

Halo: Campaign Evolved’s New Missions Have Me Obsessing Over the Series’ Ambitious, Troubled Expanded Universe All Over Again

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:30:00 +0000

It may be 25 years old now, but Halo’s first installment still has the power to wow. Combat Evolved is packed full of awesome moments: the first view of the titular ringworld arching above you, the Covenant swarming onto the Pillar of Autumn, and driving a warthog through vast Forerunner structures. And as you push forward through Master Chief’s debut mission, there’s the sense of a rich universe being teased, whether its ancient civilisations or the extent of humanity's reach across the galaxy. The series' founder, Bungie, created a universe with so much intrigue that its expanded universe was able to begin before the first game even launched – the beloved prequel novel, The Fall of Reach, was published a couple of weeks ahead of Combat Evolved’s launch.

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:30:00 +0000

This Creamy Mushroom Chicken is one of my favorite skillet recipes for turning simple chicken thighs into a cozy dinner in about 35 minutes. I keep the spirit of a good pan sauce here, using browned chicken thighs, mushrooms, garlic, Parmesan, and half-and-half (instead of heavy cream) to make a creamy, savory sauce without driving up the cost. The mushrooms help stretch the meal a little further, and the garlic makes the whole skillet smell AH-MAZING. The sauce is garlicky, mushroomy, and perfect spooned over pasta or rice, or if you’re trying to curb the carbs, make a big ol’ beautiful salad to complement the rich flavors!

Live Review

The singer-songwriter’s show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom celebrated her new album, Daughter From Hell — and how far she has come

It’s a humid summer night in New York and the entirety of Bowery Ballroom — all 500 or so attendees — are harmonizing with Gracie Abrams. “I really want you guys to be on the song,” the singer-songwriter says, just before she records the crowd’s sustained hum with a multi-track loop machine. Abrams pairs the sound with her own pitch-perfect voice to create an impromptu backing track for the live debut of her new song “Humming.” The effect makes her eyes light up. “That’s special,” she says, “Our first duet together.”

Where The '85th Percentile Rule' For Speed Limits Falls Short - Jalopnik

How do traffic engineers come up with speed limits? Believe it or not, historically, it was dang near random. Okay, let's call it a matter of custom, to be kinder. But really, it's based on something called the 85th percentile rule, which is similar to an argument by Harvard PhD student Wilbur Smith in 1937. He hypothesized that the safest speed is near the upper end of the 10‑mph band where most drivers travel, and that if more than 15% of drivers are going faster than that band, a higher maximum speed is probably still safe.

Christopher Nolan did an impressive job of bringing Batman villains to the big screen. Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight set the high-water mark for the series, but other highlights included Cillian Murphy’s appropriately creepy Scarecrow, the sinister paternalism of Liam Neeson’s Ra’s al Ghul, and the dark charisma of Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent. Tom Hardy’s take on Bane was the low point of the series, thanks to his bizarre voice and the character’s convoluted schemes. But now a new Batman trilogy is finally doing justice to one of Gotham’s most terrifying villains.

World-first neutron lens brings sharp focus to structures inside materials and objects

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:20:06 +0000

A sharper view from meters away: This magnified neutron image of a 3 millimeter PSI logo was acquired using the new achromatic neutron lens, with the logo placed six meters from the detector. Without the lens, comparable resolution would require the object to be placed within centimeters—or even millimeters—of the detector. Credit: Paul Scherrer Institute/Mano Raj Dhanalakshmi Veeraraj

Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have developed the world's first achromatic lens for neutron imaging. The lens overcomes a longstanding obstacle in the field: focusing neutrons of different wavelengths well enough to form a sharp, magnified image. With the lens, researchers can now image thick samples and follow processes inside bulky equipment such as furnaces, cryostats or pressure cells.

There are parts of the universe that are extremely hard to see, even for our most advanced telescopes. Gas and dust don't emit light and are visible only by the light they block from stars and galaxies. Magnetic fields are even harder to detect because ordinary light typically passes right through them. However, according to a new paper available on the arXiv preprint server by Manisha Caleb of the University of Sydney and their co-authors, a potentially game-changing new tool being commissioned could use a particularly violent astronomical phenomenon to provide new insight into these hard-to-see places.

‘I’m Allergic to Antagonists Who Are Bad for the Sake of Being Bad’ – How The Blood of Dawnwalker’s Vampires Go Beyond Just Being Bosses

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Everything that happens in The Blood of Dawnwalker is rooted in the vampiric takeover of Vale Sangora. During the peak of the Black Death plague, the evil Brencis murdered the valley’s human lord, Skender, and claimed the region for himself. To say he now rules with an iron fist would be putting it too bluntly – this bloodsucker is far more cunning than your regular warlord. Born to nobles during the Roman Empire’s glory years, he’s as cruel as he is dignified, and employs a carefully selected court to aid him in controlling the valley’s population. The people are his flock in both senses of the word; a religious congregation and a blood farm.

Variety‘s “Actors on Actors” has received two Daytime Emmy nominations this year, both in the outstanding arts and popular culture program category.

That includes a nod for series’ spring 2025 run, which was geared toward the TV awards season and ran on PBS SoCal as “Variety Studio: Actors on Actors.” The show then moved to CNN’s streaming platform for its film-centric fall 2025 edition, “Variety & CNN Actors on Actors,” which received the other nomination.

Direct observation of spontaneous magnon coherence at room temperature

In a magnon Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC), magnons cease to behave as independent, disordered excitations and instead form a single coherent quantum state characterized by a well-defined phase and frequency. Credit: Malte Koster

Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau have achieved a key experimental breakthrough: For the first time, the spontaneous macroscopic coherence of magnons—the quantized excitations of magnetic materials—has been directly observed. These experiments confirm a central prediction of the theory of magnon Bose-Einstein condensates. Eventually, these findings could open new avenues for signal processing, sensing technologies and information processing. The study has been published in Nature Physics.

Study suggests increased biotoxicity due to anaerobic decolorization of diazo dye by wetland-derived Clostridium

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 10:20:01 +0000

A new study shows that a constructed wetland-derived Clostridium sp. strain T4 efficiently decolorizes the azo dye Reactive Black 5 under anaerobic conditions by reductively cleaving its azo bonds. However, this process generates aromatic amine intermediates, including 1,7-diamino-8-hydroxynaphthalene and 4-(ethylsulfonyl)aniline. As these metabolites accumulate, acute toxicity to Daphnia magna increases, showing that visible dye removal alone is not a reliable indicator of wastewater treatment safety. Credit: Professor Satoshi Soda, Ritsumeikan University, Japan

Untreated synthetic dye effluents severely threaten aquatic ecosystems by blocking sunlight, depleting dissolved oxygen and releasing compounds with potential ecological toxicity. Among the various treatment strategies, biological treatment is considered a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical methods.

"I'll try to meet you there," I told my mother a few months ago, one evening before bed. "I'm not feeling great, but I'll do my best," I confirmed before hanging up the phone. The next morning, my 71-year-old mother had surgery to lift her bladder. My 74-year-old father is a stage 4 tongue cancer survivor now dealing with the overwhelming downstream effects of radiation — and I live with multiple sclerosis (MS) — so usually my otherwise healthy mother plays the caregiver role.

When You Get An Overnight Test Drive From The Dealership, Read The Rules Carefully - Jalopnik

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 11:05:00 +0000

Blackcat/Getty Images

New car prices have hit record highs, pushing the average monthly car payment to above $770, according to Experian's data. As new vehicles have become out of reach for many, the importance of a test drive has never been more significant. Almost a quarter of new car buyers are now getting 7-year loans, and that could become even more of a burden if the car you bought ends up not being what you were hoping for. Of course, a 30-minute test drive should do the trick, but extended test drives have become more popular for a reason. An overnight test drive, or one lasting up to four days, is more than enough to discover if the seats won't give you backaches on long drives, or if the rear doors open wide enough for the child seat — things that a short test drive won't reveal.

Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), part of The University of Alabama System, have identified a promising new use for continuous low-intensity ultrasound that could one day help treat joint injuries and reduce the risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Their findings suggest the non-invasive approach may shift the body's immune response away from long-lasting inflammation and toward tissue repair, offering a potential drug-free strategy for improving healing.

Can You Add Android Auto Without Having To Switch To A New Head Unit? - Jalopnik

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 10:05:00 +0000

Apple CarPlay popped up in 2014 and found its way into economy cars and ultra-luxe models alike. But not everyone is a card-carrying member of the Apple bandwagon. So, naturally, the Android equivalent — Android Auto — wasn't far behind CarPlay. In 2015, the Android-specific smartphone-mirroring platform launched, with the 2015 Hyundai Sonata becoming the first car to feature it. So, let's say you want Android Auto, but your car didn't come with it from the factory. You're screwed then, right? Not quite. Even though major automakers like GM are dropping Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the aftermarket is practically chock-a-block with head units that feature both platforms.

How Long Are Direct TPMS Sensors Meant To Last (And Can You Replace Them Yourself)? - Jalopnik

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 09:25:00 +0000

The sensors for your vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can last longer than a set of tires. The sensors have embedded long-life batteries that can power the unit for 5 to 10 years, but there's a catch: when those non-replaceable batteries, replacing the sensors is the only option. It's not necessary to swap the TPMS sensors when replacing tires, but it's definitely worth considering if the vehicle is five to 10 years old or older.

Mid-level ones deal drugs under the noses of bosses who’ve forbidden them. The best-laid plans are derailed by impulsive outbursts of anger or fear.

Love it or loathe it, cars are getting bigger and heavier these days. Research by the European Federation for Transport and Environment found that new cars are growing wider at a rate of 0.4 inches (1 cm) every two years. Increased safety features like airbags and crumple zones, which require more space, as well as a post-war diet, which made people taller and wider, have often been cited as the reasons behind the increase in the size and weight of cars over the years.

How Many Sherman Tanks Were Built (And Why They're So Rare Today) - Jalopnik

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 02:25:00 +0000

The M4 Sherman Tank was a key player for the Western Allies during World War II. Designed in America, many were powered by the awesome Chrysler-designed A57 multibank engine, while others came with radial engines, GM 6046 diesel V12s, and even Ford GAA V8s. Roughly 50,000 M4 Shermans were built between 1942 and 1946, with some sources claiming slightly fewer left the factory, and others putting the estimate at just north of that figure. Production was split between a total of 11 plants: 10 in America and one in Canada. And it wasn't just American troops that made use of the Sherman – it was also supplied to the British, Canadian, and Free French forces during the war. Even the Nazis used Sherman tanks – after stealing them, that is. With so many built, it would only be natural to assume that a large proportion of them still exist to this day, but that's surprisingly not the case.

NASA satellites are watching Earth's newest island rise from the sea

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 22:57:49 +0000

Oceanographers often point out that scientists have mapped the surfaces of the Moon and Mars in greater detail than much of Earth's deep ocean. That contrast is especially striking in the Bismarck Sea north of Papua New Guinea, where the seafloor remains poorly understood despite its remarkable geological complexity. The region contains faults, volcanic structures, rifts, scarps, and active subduction and spreading zones, many located at depths that make detailed sonar mapping extremely difficult.

For nearly a century, astronomers have known that the universe is expanding. In the late 1990s, two independent teams, the Supernova Cosmology Project, led by Saul Perlmutter, and the High-Z Supernova Search Team, led by Brian Schmidt and Adam Riess, discovered something strange: The expansion is speeding up. The finding earned them the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. The leading explanation for this acceleration is "dark energy," a mysterious force usually modeled as a constant called Lambda, pushing space apart. Combined with cold dark matter, this gives us the LCDM model, the standard picture of the cosmos for the past 25 years.

That changed today, though, when Microsoft chief communications officer Frank X. Shaw took to social media to deny the claim.

The Bizzarrini 5300 GT Aptera Lusso Is a Forgotten '60s Beauty Brought to Life by Modern Engineering

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 20:31:00 +0000

Giotto Bizzarrini was hugely influential in Italy's car industry, but his own company only lasted a few years.
This version of the 5300 GT was designed but never built back in the late 1960s.
Thanks to a 2020 relaunch of Bizzarrini as a brand, this targa-topped exotic is getting its launch at last.

In the mid-1960s, Giotto Bizzarrini had the golden touch. While working at Ferrari, his engineering went into creating the 250 GTO, now the world's most collectible car. Later, for Lamborghini, he designed the V-12 engine that would power the company's first GT cars and later the Miura. It's like finding out that the same Italian guy painted both The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. Oh wait, that did happen.

Could exoplanets locked in eternal day and endless night support life?

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 15:00:05 +0000

The exoplanet LHS 3844b (left) is 1.3 times the mass of Earth and orbits the star LHS 3844 (right). Discovered in 2018 by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey, LHS 3844b is located 48.6 light-years from Earth and makes one full revolution around its parent star in just 11 hours. Because it has such a tight orbit, LHS 3844b is most likely tidally locked, meaning one side of the planet always faces the star while another side always faces away. Credit: NASA

Ever so slightly bigger than Earth, the exoplanet LHS 3844b orbits its parent star, LHS 3844, a red dwarf 48.5 light-years from our solar system. Its rotational speed mirrors its orbital speed. The result? One side of LHS 3844b is perpetually bathed in scorching sunlight, locked into a never-ending, blistering hot day, while the other is forever shrouded in darkness so cold that particles are incapable of movement, a state known as absolute zero (zero Kelvin).

Most organizations still fund work the way they did years ago, locking in budgets months in advance and treating reallocation as a planning failure rather than a feature.

New catalyst could make mixed plastic waste recyclable in one chemical step

Ever wondered where your plastics end up? A PET bottle can be washed, shredded, melted and given a second life. But most everyday items—toys, mattresses, car seats—are made from different plastics that refuse to mix when melted, producing unusable, contaminated material. Sorting is difficult and expensive, so most mixed plastic waste ends up burned or buried, and the materials are lost for good.

Usually there's safety in numbers, but it doesn't always work that way. Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) filter-feed on immense shoals of krill, engulfing colossal mouthfuls of water containing up to 144 kg of the crustaceans.

Square Enix have been ceasing development on pretty much every mobile game they have out at the moment, so why would this one be any different? It's a shame, though, not just because of the fact that it'll be completely inaccessible when it goes down, but because of its inclusion of Before Crisis.

New neutron method reveals inner architecture of drug delivery particles

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 20:00:04 +0000

This schematic shows how SAXS and SANS revealed complementary details about different drug delivery nanoparticles. SAXS helped determine the overall particle shape and dimensions, while SANS provided additional contrast to probe the internal structure. The numbers indicate dimensions in nanometers. The different structures reflect differences in nanoparticle composition: Tween and TPGS are surfactants used to stabilise the particles, and the study showed that changing these surfactants can alter particle shape, size distribution, and internal organization. Credit: Small Methods (2026)

Modern medicine increasingly relies on targeted drug delivery—a process during which tiny particles (nanoparticles) transport drugs to specific parts of the body. To ensure these treatments are safe and effective, scientists need to understand exactly how these nanoparticles are built—including their size, shape, and internal structure.

College Football 27 Introduces Smart On-field Additions to an Already Good Game, Making It's Junior Season One Worth Suiting up for Once Again

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 23:40:00 +0000

Junior year of college was when I finally had to start making decisions about my major, internships, all that jazz. A lot changed. I had to manage my time better, carefully consider the classes I would take, and try to plan for the future. For College Football’s junior year, all I have to do is step back onto the field, but there is still a lot of planning involved. This season’s team is playing better thanks to new offensive and defensive adjustments, giving you more freedom than ever to make a gameplan and bring it onto the field – but a lot of what’s new in College Football 27 comes down to menus and numbers and graphs, or what I call the Evil God of Numbers. It brings good, welcome additions. But man does it feel like I’m spending a lot of my season inside a spreadsheet instead of running a program or being a college athlete.

These 5 TMNT episodes prove the original cartoon was better than X-Men: The Animated Series

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 17:30:19 +0000

Now in its second season, X-Men ‘97 is every bit the epic, comic-book-accurate, action-fest everybody wanted it to be. Much of its success goes back to the decision Marvel made to make the series a direct continuation of the original X-Men: The Animated Series from the 1990s, rather than “just another X-Men cartoon.” Fortunately, the powers-that-be at Marvel saw what fans have been saying since the 1990s: X-Men: The Animated Series is spectacular. With complex, thoughtful stories ripped straight from the comic books, the show was a cut above most Saturday morning cartoons from the era.

Medicine’s Back Door And The Uncomfortable Truth It Reveals

Healthcare operates with back doors for some.

Everyone in healthcare knows what it means to “make the call.”

A family member cannot get an appointment with a specialist for months. A friend has been denied a medication that every physician involved agrees is appropriate. A colleague is caught in an endless cycle of prior authorizations, referrals, and appeals. Rather than trusting the process, someone reaches for their phone. A text is sent to a department chair, a hospital CEO, an insurance executive, or an old residency classmate. Suddenly, what seemed impossible becomes routine. The appointment appears. The authorization is approved. The problem dissolves.

When a human cell prepares to split into two daughter cells, it must first construct a tiny internal machine called the mitotic spindle—a structure of protein fibers that physically pulls chromosomes apart and deposits one set into each new cell. Get the spindle the right size and the chromosomes segregate cleanly. Getting it wrong could result in the chromosomal errors that fuel cancer.

Tiny 60,000-neuron ant brains reveal how parental care evolved from feeding circuits

Ants, like these clonal raider ants tending to their larvae, are highly attuned to their young. A new study shows that two neuropeptides in the ant brain modulate how ants respond to larvae, thereby determining the behavioral roles ants assume in the colony. Credit: Bart Zijlstra, UNIL

Long before the dawn of modern parenting, animals laid eggs and moved on, leaving their progeny to fend for themselves. Now, a study published in Nature uncovers one of the elegant ways evolution transformed neglect into nurture. Working with clonal raider ants, a surprisingly parental insect, researchers found that rather than evolving entirely new brain circuits for caregiving, evolution repurposed ancient neural systems for regulating hunger into triggers for social behaviors.

President Trump's Latest Pardons Include Diesel Tuners Who Violated the Clean Air Act

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 22:58:00 +0000

President Trump has pardoned nine mechanics and tuners who were convicted of violating emissions rules under the Clean Air Act.
The move comes amid the Trump administration's broader pattern of rolling back environmental protections.
Under the previous Biden administration, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cracked down on the use of defeat devices to bypass emissions equipment.

Among last Friday's raft of pardons by President Trump were nine mechanics and tuners facing millions of dollars in fines and potential jail time for violating the Clean Air Act. Convicted of bypassing or otherwise modifying mandated emissions controls on diesel engines, the nine now join a Wyoming-based mechanic who had his felony conviction erased by a presidential pardon in November.

First Nations people in Australia have worse health and a lower life expectancy than other Australians.

This health gap is closely linked to the ongoing impacts of colonization and genocide. These continue to create inequities in what are called social determinants of health—the nonmedical factors that influence health and well-being, such as housing, education and income. They also increase exposure to health risks, such as cigarette smoking and reduced physical activity.

Metal Balls From Outer Space Invade Australia - Jalopnik

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:25:00 +0000

Ever have one of those days when you're invaded by strange metallic objects from beyond our planet? On Sunday, unidentified spheres began appearing in Forrest Beach in Queensland, Australia. And, yes, the Australian Space Agency (ASA) has indeed confirmed that they came from space. Specifically, they appear to be parts from a rocket that have crashed back into the ocean and are now washing up. With more and more mass going into orbit every year, the likelihood of objects falling from orbit keeps increasing. So while no damage has been done to the good people of Australia, that's just because these objects happened to impact at sea. Change the trajectory by just a few degrees, and this would be a very different story.

Electrons, negatively charged particles, sometimes coordinate their movements in ways that produce certain collective excitations referred to as quasiparticles. One case in which this occurs is the quantum Hall effect, a phenomenon that emerges when electrons are confined to a very thin layer, cooled to temperatures around 0 kelvin and exposed to a very strong magnetic field.

NASA and China's national space agency plan to send crewed missions to Mars in the coming decades. Per NASA's Moon to Mars mission architecture, this will involve using infrastructure established through the Artemis Program to send crews to the red planet sometime in the 2030s or 2040s. Similar to Artemis, these missions will culminate in the creation of habitats that will facilitate long-duration exploration and research. Naturally, this presents many challenges, including lengthy deep-space transits and the hazards of extended periods in microgravity.

The new Giulia will be produced on the Stellantis Group's STLA Large platform, with 800-volt, ultra-rapid charging and a range of up to 500 miles. Recent rumors suggest the Giulia, like the Dodge Charger, will also be offered with combustion engines. —Jack Fitzgerald

And the notion has broad political appeal: Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed giving Americans a 50% stake in top AI companies.

Scientists discover the deep sleep circuit that builds muscle, burns fat, and boosts the brain

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:39:08 +0000

A good night's sleep does far more than leave you feeling refreshed.

That's why athletes value quality sleep for recovery, and why teenagers need enough sleep to reach their full height potential.

We're all painfully aware of how vastly life has changed in the United States over the past few decades, and not in many positive regards. Not to get political, but Wendy's has done away with its iconic solariums, Pizza Hut's iconic red shingle roofs have become a thing of the past, coffee shops that were once filled with cozy sofas and lounge chairs are now full of metal stools and wooden benches, and the cars on American roads have almost all gone gray.

Two hundred and fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a new commercial from Google asks: What if the Founding Fathers had access to Google Workspace?

With the tagline “Group project, but make it 1776,” the ad depicts a largely unseen Thomas Jefferson mid-draft when he gets a nagging text from Ben Franklin, leading to a very Google-centric collaboration process. Edits are suggested in Google Docs, a meeting gets scheduled in Google Calendar and conducted remotely via Google Meet (with every single attendee apparently turning their camera off?), then the whole thing is finalized with e-signatures; cue the fireworks.

Counter-Strike 2 might be the biggest game on Steam, but Global Offensive is breaking player count records since it went standalone again

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 16:43:21 +0000

Anytime you're talking about the hottest game on Steam, there's an evergreen unspoken caveat: 'after Counter-Strike, of course.' CS2 is unquestionably Steam's killer app—it has well over a million concurrent players as I write this according to SteamDB, and it's showing no signs of slowing down.

Ford's New $30,000 Electric Truck Comes into Focus in New Spy Photos. Could It Be Called Ranchero?

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Ford's upcoming Universal EV pickup truck—possibly called the Ranchero—has been spied testing near Dearborn, Michigan.
While Ford has released its own "spy photos," our photographer captured more details, such as the front-facing camera, interior screen, and rear window.
Ford has said the Maverick-sized electric truck will cost around $30,000 and will go into production at its Kentucky plant sometime in 2027.

Ford's electric F-150 was arguably a failure, but the automaker is circling the wagons to bring a new kind of EV to the masses. Based on its upcoming Universal EV platform, which will benefit from fewer parts and a simplified production process to keep costs low, the first variant will be a Maverick-sized truck. Many details are still being kept under wraps—though Ford has launched its own website promoting the project—but our spy photographer has captured several new images that help bring Ford's new electric pickup more into focus.

Tiny magnetic waves could unlock quantum computers the size of a penny

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 06:48:14 +0000

A team of physicists has overcome a major obstacle in quantum computing by dramatically increasing the lifetime of magnons, tiny magnetic waves that can carry quantum information. The researchers extended their lifespan from just a few hundred nanoseconds to as long as 18 microseconds, nearly 100 times longer than previously achieved. The advance could eventually help make ultra-compact quantum computers, potentially as small as a 1-cent coin.

How asteroids may have sparked life on Earth

Scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have taken a new look at Earth's violent beginnings and found that ancient asteroid impacts may have played a key role in making the planet habitable. Their computer models suggest that repeated collisions did far more than reshape the young Earth's surface. They also created extensive hydrothermal systems, hot water environments that may have provided the right conditions for life to emerge.

Average New Car Prices Hit Record High Of $51,974, But People Are Still Rushing To Buy Them - Jalopnik

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 19:29:58 +0000

Toyota

You probably don't need a car blog to tell you this, but life is rather expensive at the moment. From elevated gas prices thanks to President Donald Trump's decision to drag us into a war with Iran to the inflated price of groceries, now is a great time to be rich, and a rough time to be broke. It's an even worse time to be broke if you happen to need a new car, since according to data from Automotive News and Catalyst IQ, the average marketed price of a new car reached a new record high price on June 30 of an eye-watering $51,974. The previous record was set three-years ago on July 7, 2023.

Lullabies Made of Static is a quieter, slower, but still quite welcome addition to PC gaming's brutalist walking sim canon

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:56:14 +0000

Brutalism serves one of two purposes in games: either as a source of concrete projectiles, or much more commonly, as a backdrop to quietly wander around, feeling morose. Personally I’m a fan of both, hence Lullabies Made of Static – which is out today – tickling the same neurons as my favourite grey walking sim, Fugue in Void.

Why Did ‘Supergirl’ Change the Ending of ‘Woman of Tomorrow’?

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:38:47 +0000

Spoiler Alert

In our all-spoilers interview, director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Ana Nogueira explain their choices

There’s no getting around it: Supergirl “didn’t meet our box-office expectations,” as DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran told The New York Times. Nevertheless, the film sparked more than its share of discourse, and one of the most-discussed moments — along with an eyebrow-raising needle drop — is the ending. Supergirl’s actions toward the villainous Krem at the end (which, fair warning, will be spoiled in the interview that follows) were a major change from Woman of Tomorrow, the comic-book miniseries that inspired the film. Three days before the movie’s release, Rolling Stone spoke to director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Ana Nogueira about their choices.

Valve dropped that Steam Machine Companion Cube case down the legal incinerator after its makers neglected to get their permission

Steam Machine stock may be in short supply, but hey, at least it hasn’t been taken off sale and scoured from the Internet, never to be seen again. That’s just the fate of Dbrand’s unofficial Steam Machine Companion Cube case, a smartly made (if overpriced and kind of pointless) Portal-themed accessory that it turns out was so unofficial, Dbrand never actually had permission from Valve to sell it. So, now they aren’t, and have issued refunds to anyone who ordered one.

Golden lion tamarins dislocate the bones of the pelvis during childbirth

Edwin Giesbers / naturepl.com

Childbirth can be extremely challenging for humans – but some other primates may have it even worse. A comprehensive analysis of primate anatomy concludes that many species must squeeze large-headed infants through too-narrow pelvises. The problem may have begun with the very first primates, which lived more than 50 million years ago.

Mitsubishi Teases the Return of an Iconic Feature on the New Montero, Albeit with a Modern Twist

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 15:27:00 +0000

Mitsubishi's revived Montero (known as the Pajero in other markets) is scheduled to debut in Asia later this year.
The company released a new website for the off-road-ready SUV that teases a modern twist on its iconic triple-meter gauges.
The Multi Meter digital gauges provide real-time altitude, compass heading, ambient temperature, pitch and roll angles, and left-right torque distribution.

The Mitsubishi Pajero is more commonly known as the Montero on our shores, and a reborn version is scheduled to debut later this year. While we're still mostly in the dark about the revived off-road-capable SUV, Mitsubishi has been steadily teasing information as the reveal draws closer.

Tested: The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt Strikes Back

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 14:54:00 +0000

6/29/26 UPDATE: This review has been updated with instrumented test results.

Amid the electrification boom in 2023, the Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV were the two least expensive electric vehicles in the marketplace. Then one day—poof—they were gone. General Motors had a whole legion of flashy new battery-powered SUVs and trucks waiting in the wings, leaving little room for the company's lowest-hanging fruit, so the Bolt's Michigan-based assembly line was packed up and shoved to the side. But there was a reason for it: The Little Chevy That Could's hardware and electrical architecture had maximized its potential—and little did we know, Chevrolet had already begun work on the 2027 Bolt before the last sheetmetal stamp was put away.

Your menstrual cycle may affect how well vaccines work | New Scientist

Vaccines can be life-saving, but a woman’s immune response may be affected by her menstrual cycle

Marcos del Mazo/LightRocket via Getty Images

The degree of protection that women get from vaccines may vary depending on when in their menstrual cycle they receive them. The concept of #cyclesynching suggests that women of reproductive age should vary their diet and lifestyle around where they are in their cycle, which isn’t supported by robust research. But evidence is mounting that the fluctuation of hormones that occurs during the menstrual cycle impacts a woman’s immune response, with the latest research suggesting it could affect how soon after being vaccinated against covid-19 they catch the infection.

Your End-to-End Encrypted Messages Aren't As Secure As You Think

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 14:30:00 +0000

Earlier in May, the Texas Attorney General’s office sued Meta for deceiving users on the level of security offered by end-to-end encryption on WhatsApp.

Meanwhile, Apple and Google just announced that rich text messaging between Android and iOS users will now support end-to-end encryption. But that only works if you have RCS enabled on your smartphone, it does not apply to traditional SMS or MMS texting. With apps like Telegram, too, E2EE is not enabled by default on all messages and you need to start a “Secret Chat” each time you want true end-to-end encryption in a text chain.

VPNs are a fantastic security tool. While they aren't infallible, a properly configured VPN can secure your traffic across apps and websites. But the added network latency can slow down apps that rely on high bandwidth usage or lock you out from those that specifically ban network spoofing, putting up roadblocks as you try to use the internet. That's where split tunneling comes in.

2026 Maserati Grecale Trofeo Is Like If New Jersey Was A Car - Jalopnik

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 18:25:00 +0000

Andy Kalmowitz / Jalopnik

I've never been shy about the fact that I'm a New Jerseyan through and through. I was born there. I grew up there. Hell, maybe I'll die there one day if my fiancée gives in. But the state is certainly not perfect. The state is incredibly crowded and far too expensive, it has a confusing road network, there's a bit of a smell if I'm honest, and, well, it's very Italian in a misunderstanding "The Sopranos" and saying the names of foods wrong kind of way. Nevertheless, I love New Jersey, and it holds a very special place in my heart. It's just charming — if you get it, you get it. It's very reminiscent of a certain car I recently drove: the 2026 Maserati Grecale Trofeo.

Yet what people really need is honest, affordable electric transportation. Then, the clouds split, and CRACK—the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt arcs its way to terra firma, landing with a positively vintage starting price and a wealth of useful updates.

Using 59 days of validated data collected between August 26 and November 2, 2025, the international JUNO Collaboration, led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, made highly precise measurements of two fundamental neutrino oscillation parameters. The analysis reduced the uncertainties in those measurements by a factor of 1.6 compared with the combined results from previous experiments conducted over several decades.

Scientists discover a strange property in rice and turn it into a smart material

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:29:52 +0000

Rice is best known as one of the world's most important food crops, but scientists have now shown it could also help inspire a new generation of smart materials.

Researchers discovered that packed rice grains behave in an unusual way under pressure. When compressed slowly, the grains remain relatively strong. But when squeezed quickly, they actually become weaker. This surprising behavior has allowed scientists to create a new material that could one day be used in soft robots that automatically adjust their stiffness and protective equipment that responds differently depending on the force of an impact.

1987 Ford Festiva LX: An Econobox with an Interesting Lineage

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 13:33:00 +0000

From the May 1987 issue of Car and Driver.

Don't be fooled by the current resurgence of big cars with powerful engines. Although many Americans are only too happy to guzzle today's cheap and plentiful fuel as they return to yesterday's automotive values, it's clear that others have developed a lasting affection for small, economical cars. It used to be that all such cars were outfitted sparely and priced inexpensively, but most of them have evolved upmarket over the years to suit the tastes of their growing customer base. In the meantime, the demand for truly entry-level machines has remained strong, so a fresh brood of econoboxes is rolling into the void left by the upward mobility of the last generation.

Planet nine mystery deepens as new discovery challenges hidden planet theory

Is there a massive undiscovered planet on the outer reaches of the Solar System? The idea has been around since before the discovery of Pluto in the 1930s. Labelled as planet X, prominent astronomers had put it forward as an explanation for Uranus’s orbit, which drifts from the path of orbital motion that physics would expect it to follow. The gravitational pull of an undiscovered planet, several times larger than Earth, was seen as a possible reason for the discrepancy.
