Scientists have discovered radio bursts above a sunspot that resemble radio emissions from auroras on Earth. The pink-purple streaks in this illustration represent the radio emissions, with higher-frequency radio signals in pink, closer to the sunspot, and lower frequencies in purple. The thin lines represent magnetic field lines above the sunspot. The sunspot is the dark region on the Sun at the bottom.

If there’s one thing to say about the $169 Flipper Zero, it’s that it’s really damn cute. When the Flipper is idling, the cyber dolphin that appears in all the apps and product materials as the device’s mascot can be found lounging around, making sly references to older movies. Sometimes, they record a dancing praying mantis or swimming in the ocean. The little dolphin cries elephant tears whenever you try to turn off your thumb-sized hacking and pentesting tool. My little dolphin’s name is Miakal. It is a unique ID that…

It is cold, dark and deathly quiet at an out-of-town business park in West Sussex. Hours before the car-parts business, the furniture workshop and the trampoline park open, the only noise competing with the hum of the A27 spills out from unit 45.“We are serving up the ultimate builders’ breakfast!” bellows a jingle playing out just after 7.30am. “The Bald Builders Breakfast … Packed with the good stuff, plenty of sauce and the two biggest clowns on site.”Brad Hanson and Sam Hughes, who both live nearby, are broadcasting…

Pick of the weekNapoleonUpon its theatrical release, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon primarily gained headlines for the bullish way in which its 86-year-old director approached the concept of historical accuracy (“Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut up then!”). Now it has finally found its way to a home release, though, we actually have a chance to judge Napoleon on its merits. And this has to be a good thing, because it has a hell of a lot going for it. It’s full of vast, broad spectacle. It’s funnier than most…

Donald Trump delivered a speech at the National Religious Broadcasters convention Thursday night in Nashville that touched on all his greatest hits. The Democrats are “evil,” the U.S. is now a “Communist state,” and Hungary’s authoritarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, is a “strong man” and “a friend of mine.” But there was one new element tailor-made for his audience of Christian broadcasters: Trump pledged to save AM radio.Is Threads a Threat to Twitter? | Future Tech“I will protect the content that is pro-God.

Pick of the weekFerrariMichael Mann lets loose his inner petrolhead in this operatic drama about famed car manufacturer Enzo Ferrari. We meet Enzo – an opaque, silver-haired Adam Driver – in 1957 in Modena, Italy. His firm is facing stiff competition from Maserati, while he’s struggling to divide his time between wife Laura (a firecracker turn from Penélope Cruz) and secret mistress Lina (Shailene Woodley), with whom he has a son. The upcoming Mille Miglia – a ridiculously dangerous endurance race held on open roads – may…
