As Africa and Eurasia slowly collide, Earth's rumblings paint a seismographic picture of what once was a piece of our planet's surface now lying upside down deep beneath the Mediterranean.Spain's unusually prone to rare, deep earthquakes, and a new study suggests this capsized tectonic slab might have something to do with it."Since 1954, there have been five closely located large deep‐focus earthquakes with depths greater than 600 kilometers beneath Granada," explain geologists Daoyuan Sun from the University of Science…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends MSI and Asus are stepping up their monitor game. Both companies are now offering burn-in protection as part of the warranties on their OLED displays, which is a welcome layer of security considering how many displays both brands have launching this year. Although we’ve had OLED gaming monitors for close to two years, most brands have paid very little attention to the risk of burn-in. In January, we took a look at the burn-in protection that the largest brands offered on their OLED…

Recent research indicates the Megalodon had a slimmer body, which could mean it fed less frequently and faced competition from the emerging great white shark, potentially contributing to its extinction. Credit: SciTechDaily.comGigantic shark was slimmer than depictions in movies.A new study shows the Megalodon, a gigantic shark that went extinct 3.6 million years ago, was more slender than earlier studies suggested. This finding changes scientists’ understanding of Megalodon behavior, ancient ocean life, and why the…

Venus is quite a unique planet. Despite being known as Earth’s evil twin, the planet has some very distinct differences that help it stand out against any of the other planets in our solar system. Chief among those is the fact that it spins in the wrong direction. Now, some researchers believe they may have solved the mystery of Venus’s strange spin, and it’s all because of a moon.The theory that an ancient moon with a backward orbit might have caused Venus’s spin to flip isn’t exactly new. However, a new study…

The Class of 2023 is getting ready to enter a job market that is suddenly less eager to hire new grads.Many employers are taking a go-slow approach to employing graduating seniors this year, college career offices say. The cautiousness marks a sharp reversal from the past two years, when companies often made offers barely weeks after school began and staged bidding wars over interns and graduating seniors.  Some of the companies that have laid off thousands of workers in recent months—including…

Physicists have coaxed particles of light into undergoing opposite transformations simultaneously, like a human turning into a werewolf as the werewolf turns into a human. In carefully engineered circuits, the photons act as if time were flowing in a quantum combination of forward and backward.“For the first time ever, we kind of have a time-traveling machine going in both directions,” said Sonja Franke-Arnold, a quantum physicist at the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research.Regrettably…
