What would happen if you stuck your body inside a particle accelerator? The scenario seems like the start of a bad Marvel comic, but it happens to shed light on our intuitions about radiation, the vulnerability of the human body, and the very nature of matter. Particle accelerators allow physicists to study subatomic particles by speeding them up in powerful magnetic fields and then tracing the interactions that result from... Read more ›

Far from the Sun, near the outer limits of our solar system, the ice giant Uranus slowly orbits its distant parent star. For the first time, astronomers have seen X-rays emanating from this distant world.

One of the iPhone’s biggest advantages against Android competition has been the tight integration of iOS with Apple’s custom silicon. Now it appears that at long last, Google is ready to respond in kind. A report by 9to5Google claims Google plans to introduce its own processor, internally dubbed GS101 and codenamed ‘Whitechapel,’ with this fall’s Pixel 6. It’s not the first time we’ve heard such rumblings; Whitechapel was first rumored... Read more ›

Swedish Philosopher Nick Bostrom’s simulation argument says we might be living in a computer-generated reality. Maybe he’s right. There currently exists no known method by which we could investigate the parameters of our “programming,” so it’s up to each of us to decide whether to believe in The Matrix or not.

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL was one of my favorite ebikes I’ve reviewed to date, opting for less motor power, a more natural ride, and a lighter frame than the vast majority of ebikes out there. Now Specialized is bringing a similar pound-shaving design philosophy to the new Como SL, a cruiser-type ebike with a relaxed riding geometry and solid cargo capabilities. The upright riding position is something I appreciate... Read more ›

I’ve managed to go quite a few months without mentioning the goddamn coronavirus in an article. But here we are. Don’t worry though, I’m no longer succumbing to be a harbinger of doom and gloom. Instead, I’m bringing you a salve for your sore, worried mind, and it comes in the form of an electrified classic VW bus. Over the past year, I’ve watched more car restoration shows than I’ve...

The data brokers who’ve made fortunes from collecting and sharing millions of people’s personal information tend to fly under the radar. Names like LiveRamp or RELX might not be familiar to most Americans, but they’re making themselves known on Capitol Hill. Collectively, data broker spending on lobbying in 2020 rivaled the spending of individual Big Tech firms like Facebook and Google. The Markup searched lobbying disclosures in the U.S. Senate’s...

Earlier this week, Italian startups lost their right to register and incorporate online after the country’s lobby of notaries won its claim to have it removed. The news has understandably left the Italian startup ecosystem in a bit of a shock. This decision is literally a step backward, as startups have been able to register online since 2016, so I’m afraid this will be a detriment to the economic development... Read more ›
