Ultra-hot Jupiters — named as such because of their physical similarities to the planet Jupiter — are exoplanets that orbit stars other than the sun with temperatures so high that the molecules in their atmospheres are completely torn apart. They are among the most extreme environments in our galaxy. They also whip around their parent stars in orbits that only last a few days, and astronomers still aren’t sure how... Read more ›

Space just got a lot messier — and more dangerous. Russia has sparked outrage by shooting down one of its satellites in a missile test on Monday. The move has created an enormous quantity of orbital debris, jeopardized the safety of astronauts, and reignited fears about an arms race in space. Russia’s Defense Ministry has downplayed the risks of the operation, but there are good reasons to be concerned. Here... Read more ›

When cryptocurrencies first began as a way to create decentralized digital currencies, they were primarily used by techies and finance experts — individuals who understood the intricacies of crypto and how they could build up a sizable stash of digital currency. Fast-forward to today, and things have changed drastically. Hundreds of millions of people around the globe use cryptocurrencies, with nations such as Nigeria seeing adoption rates as high as...

TLDR: The Spade Mini Smart Ear Wax Remover connects via WiFi and offers crystal clear video for cleaning your ears the right way. It’s time we all had an important talk about ear wax.

A lot of people think car innovation begins and ends with Tesla. But Tesla was founded in 2003, almost 20 years ago. Now, there’s a new breed of automaker startups advancing materials innovation and sustainable motoring. And they’re doing it using solar technology to make solar electric vehicles. The two startups are Lightyear Motors and Sonos Motors. They both hail from Europe — from the Netherlands and Germany –and both... Read more ›

There’s always one. No matter how bold a goal we announce. No matter how transparent we are in our reporting. There’s always someone in the comments pointing out our sustainability shortcomings, blind spots, or apparent failures. We’re all for it. In 2020 we published the first Polestar 2 Life Cycle Assessment, including its full methodology. This prompted a critical response from within the car industry, which became known as Astongate....

The last couple of weeks have been momentous for politicians, community and religious leaders, and activists as they flew to attend COP26 to stop the world imploding into doomsday scenarios. No sector was safe — transport, overpopulation (ok, maybe not a sector per se), meat and dairy, or forest logging — from the ire of people desperate to assign blame. One thing that attracted plenty of wrath is flying —... Read more ›

If you asked a bunch of founders what the number one thing they look for in a startup hub is, you’d probably get a few different answers. The one thing they’d agree on is the need for the right people. Whether that’s investors, employees, customers, or partners. It’s one of the reasons we see founders flocking to locations like Silicon Valley, New York, and Shenzhen. But the overwhelming concentration of... Read more ›

As the CEO of a relatively new marketing agency, I’m happy to admit there were a few things I got wrong in the early days of my startup journey… although maybe I should’ve avoided them seeing how common they are. Growing a newly-launched company can be challenging but also highly rewarding. You are continually learning, and no day is ever the same. If you are in the growth stage of... Read more ›

I’ve used Microsoft’s Edge browser almost exclusively for a couple of years now. I’ve written about how I prefer it to Chome, and I often recommend naysayers give it a try because it does a lot of things better than the alternatives. But Microsoft’s hostile attitude towards allowing people to use third-party browsers is making me second guess that choice. I’m not just trying to be high and mighty about... Read more ›

The AGI hype train has hit some heavy traffic. While futurists and fundraisers used to make bullish predictions about artificial general intelligence, they’ve become quieter lately. Peter Thiel — the tech billionaire and rumored vampire — says Silicon Valley big brains have lost enthusiasm for AGI. “Elon’s not talking about it anymore and Larry [Page] is off to Fiji and doesn’t seem to be working on it quite as hard,”...

IBM might have just changed the computing game in a major way. Nobody’s seen a research paper yet, but Big Blue’s quantum department is claiming that its mysterious “Eagle” processor has achieved quantum supremacy. Eureka? IBM CEO Arvind Krishna gave Axios on HBO the exclusive. According to them, the Eagle processor is capable of doing things no supercomputer can do. In fact, per the interview, Krishna says there’s no other... Read more ›

Seven months after it was launched, the US robotic rover Perseverance successfully landed on Mars on February 18, 2021. The landing was part of the mission Mars2020 and was viewed live by millions of people worldwide, reflecting the renewed global interest in space exploration. It was soon followed by China’s Tianwen-1, an interplanetary Mars mission consisting of an orbiter, lander, and rover called Zhourong. Perseverance and Zhourong were the fifth... Read more ›

An anonymous owner of a 2021 Tesla Model Y has filed a complaint at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), reporting their vehicle crashed while the Full Self-Driving Beta was engaged. The accident took place on November 3, somewhere in Brea, California. Fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities, but disturbingly enough, the owner blames the FSD for causing the crash. Specifically, the car kept entering the wrong lane... Read more ›

Cryptocurrencies have had an exceptional year, reaching a combined value of more than US$3 trillion (£2.2 trillion) for the first time in November. The market seems to have benefited from the public having time on their hands during pandemic lockdowns.

If you’re looking to stay sharp or to help keep the mind of someone you know and love honed and focused, you might want to seriously consider plunging into some language learning.
