For years, I’ve been interested in air pollution — and you should be too. I’ve covered research finding that dust storms in the Sahara lead to 22 percent higher child mortality and evidence that students do worse in school when exposed to poor air quality. My colleagues have written that indoor air pollution leads to 4 million deaths a year, mostly in Africa and Asia, and that rollbacks in US air quality regulations can contribute to the premature deaths of thousands of Americans. While we often focus on outdoor air…

There are so many reasons to be excited for Daredevil: Born Again, but sadly it may not deliver on everything loyal fans of the Hornhead want to see from the Disney Plus revival of the Netflix series, as the latest bit of casting may prove. Elsewhere, Kang might be stealing the spotlight right now, but there’s another Marvel villain on a whole other level from him who’s also making themselves known next month. Let’s get cracking… Daredevil: Born Again adds an exciting new cast member, but it may only spell doom for the…

A sleep mask that tracks eye movement to help you better understand sleep patterns and quality is certainly unusual, and the prototype device in our photos shows it looks pretty mad too. That’s reason enough to talk about it, but the real reason Somalytics’ SomaSleep sleep mask is exciting is due to the amazing eye-tracking sensors hidden inside. Digital Trends spoke to Somalytics’ CEO Barbara Barclay during CES 2023 about how the potential of these tiny sensors goes way beyond watching you while you sleep.…

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 15 December 2022: Check out this amazing snapshot of the Red Planet hiding behind Earth’s Moon. NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 15 December 2022: The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite located about 395,122 kilometers from the planet. Throughout the course of history, man has bridged that distance with various missions carried out to the Moon. Mars is a different story altogether. Although we have sent rovers to the Red Planet too, man has not been able to step a foot on its…

It would be stating the obvious to say that horror is about as critically bulletproof as a genre can get, but sometimes even the staunchest of supporters can’t reasonably defend an awful example of would-be cinematic spookery. Truth or Dare is one shining example, but being universally trashed didn’t do a thing to stop the movie from becoming a massive success. One of the worst-reviewed projects to ever emerge from the usually reliable Blumhouse hit factory, the all-conquering horror banner has only produced 10 feature…

Warzone 2.0 players think they might be about to embark on a “wider” Easter egg after finding a mysterious code on a secret weapon. As spotted by So Broken on Youtube (via The Loadout), the Phantom’s Call weapon has a code printed on it which has no meaning as of yet. In the explanation video, So Broken clears a stronghold to obtain a Black Site key before entering and killing a Juggernaut to unlock the Vasnev-9K blueprint called Phantom’s Call. Printed along the side of the gun is a code reading “342374075”. In a…

The highly used Google incognito mode may not be as discreet as we thought It turns out even Google’s own workforce isn’t sold on the company’s claims about Incognito mode’s privacy protections. Google employees reportedly cracked jokes about the feature’s inept, and potentially misleading privacy protections in recent years, with one marketing officer reportedly directly emailing CEO Sundar Pichai, basically begging him to make the product actually live up to its name according to recent court documents viewed by…

As I opened a recent email from my local grocery store chain advertising Hispanic Heritage Month—it runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 each year—I was surprised to see it highlighting recipes from four distinct regions: Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. …

Riding a city bike comes with two certainties: thieves will target you and tourists will walk in your path. AirBell addresses both issues by discretely hiding one of Apple’s AirTag trackers inside a small mechanical bell with a loud and pleasant ding.Bicycle theft is an unfortunate reality in many large cities, especially in Amsterdam where I live with my family of five. We use bikes as our primary means of transportation every day, rain or shine. We can’t afford to be without them. As such, I’ve already fitted a few of…

Fossilized treasures entombed in golden, glassy amber capture countless stories of ancient forested landscapes through which the dinosaurs roamed. Sometimes these prized fossils are part of a very different story.One such instance is in Myanmar. While embroiled in political turmoil, the country has also enchanted the field of paleontology with spectacular amber specimens that are sourced by unethical or illegal means.According to a new study – described by scientists not involved in the work as "one of the most important…
