2023 has delivered a ton of new music and as we get to the end of the year, it’s time to reflect on those releases we kept going back and back to. We’ve already shared our Top Country Albums of the year so now we’re switching our focus onto pop. There’s been a lot of pop from all corners of the globe and we’ve listened to a lot, but there’s a handful of releases that we’ve had on repeat play since they came out. Presented in no particular order, we’ve highlighted the 5 pop albums that we’ve spent plenty of time…

More than 72 million years ago, the western seas of the Pacific Ocean were home to one of the fiercest ocean predators of all time.About the size of a bus, the colossal air-breathing creature wasn't a mammal despite its warm-blood. Nor was it a crocodile despite its similar shaped head. Instead it belonged to a group of now extinct marine lizards, ones with binocular vision, four enormous paddle-shaped limbs, a long and powerful rudder of a tail, and possibly a dorsal fin.Scientists in Japan are calling it the Wakayama…

Astronomers have now identified the tiniest brown dwarf, which is believed to be only three to four times the mass of Jupiter. The discovery was made using the James Webb Space Telescope, and it could provide new insight into these planet-like objects that form the same way stars do.I say planet-like because brown dwarfs are not actually considered stars or planets. In fact, they straddle the line that divides planets and stars. They form similarly to other stars. However, they do not grow dense enough to…

As our understanding of the Universe around us grows, so do scientific theories. Like the one that's lasted for more than 100 years, about the function of balloon-like 'bladders' on resilient plants including quinoa.It was thought that these tiny balloons protected the plants against dangers like drought and salt. Not so, says a new study; in fact, they're designed to ward off different kinds of dangers, in the form of pests and disease.The discovery was made by researchers who wanted to explore the original hypothesis…

Researchers at Columbia University have developed Re6Se8Cl2, a superatomic semiconductor that outperforms silicon in speed and efficiency by forming unique quasiparticles. This discovery paves the way for exploring new materials in semiconductor technology. Columbia chemists discover ballistic flow in a quantum material, a finding which could help overcome shortcomings in semiconductors Semiconductors, particularly silicon, are fundamental to the operation of various electronic devices such as computers, cellphones, and…

In February 2000, Paul Crutzen rose to speak at the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme in Mexico. And when he spoke, people took notice. He was then one of the world's most cited scientists, a Nobel laureate working on huge-scale problems – the ozone hole, the effects of a nuclear winter.So little wonder that a word he improvised took hold and spread widely: this was the Anthropocene, a proposed new geological epoch, representing an Earth transformed by the effects of industrialised humanity.The idea of an…

Toyota could be finally ready to take electrification a little more seriously. The Japanese automaker has been extremely slow to manufacture electric cars — but it recently took the wraps off of the new Toyota Urban, which will be Toyota’s attempt at a low-cost, mass-produced EV. In particular, the Urban could go head-to-head with cars like the Volvo EX30 and Hyundai Kona Electric as another small SUV that’s built to be an affordable alternative to higher-cost cars like the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Kia…

Human fingers and toes don't grow outward as you might expect. Instead, our dexterous digits are 'sculpted' within a larger foundational bud.Now the first human cell atlas of early limb development has at last revealed in exquisite detail exactly how that happens.Prior to this, our understanding of vertebrate limb development has been largely based on model organisms, such as mice and chicken embryos, and lab-grown stem cells.Although humans share some similarities with other vertebrates, their biology obviously diverges…
