When Soundgarden Wrote “Black Hole Sun,” they may have inadvertently been onto something. In a new paper in Nature, scientists have chronicled a “black hole star” that’s the size of our solar system and glows bright red in the depth of space. The findings are based on observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, which…

On both phones, the crease—the point in the display where it folds—looks significantly less obvious and feels better than on prior models, with less of a bump as your fingers swipe across the screen. That’s great, but my biggest design complaint with these Folds is the camera jutting out on the back. It means that…

I’m already growing hoarse in Golden Gate Park as Charli XCX takes the stage at a San Francisco music festival. The crowd starts jumping as a guitar hook hits, and I reluctantly comply, bouncing around on these aging knees as my chunky Puff necklace almost flies off the chain. During a lull in the set,…

The entry-level Joe Rev was created in this same spirit—a full-sized, BMX-inspired frame with fun color options (electric blue, matte gray), 3-inch tan wall balloon tires, and those unmistakable handlebars. There are no apps or fancy readouts, no lights, and no shocks. Just five levels of pedal assist and a throttle attached to a single-speed…

It’s the depths of summer. It’s still stultifyingly, dangerously hot. Going outside is a fool’s game unless you have 500 SPF sunblock and a personal AC unit. Be sensible: Stay inside and enjoy some of the best movies currently streaming instead. August’s offerings include the return of Avatar: The Last Airbender on Paramount+, with a…

When Edward Warchocki speaks with you, he sounds like a regular guy. “Not super intelligent, but very emotional, very easy to make friends with,” says Bartosz Idzik, the person who created him. But when he doesn’t talk, it’s harder to forget what Warchocki really is: a 4-foot-tall humanoid robot that’s wandering the city streets of…

Leah Feiger: I mean, from the Trump White House, which has historically been so anti-AI regulation that its very own AI czar for the first year of the Trump presidency, David Sacks was like, “We’re not regulating,” to now where the White House has a slightly toothless, but still there, policy of sorts, especially in…

With the revelation that ICE will spend up to $20 million by March on gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks to subdue an individual, according to a notice published earlier this week by the Department of Homeland Security, it’s worth looking at how this apparel, designated as a nonlethal tool for law enforcement, actually…

White House officials are almost certain to revise the Trump administration’s new artificial intelligence guidelines and expand its oversight of AI models, according to people familiar with the matter. The White House announced this month that it had developed an AI framework, where the most powerful models created by US labs would be tested for…

experts say this summer’s main threat of lettuce-borne cyclospora may finally be waning, with investigators having identified the likely culprit as iceberg lettuce sold through Taylor Farms de Mexico. But the fact remains that commercially-produced lettuce isn’t always safe. The FDA continues to flag cluster outbreaks of cyclosporiasis and salmonellosis, with a recent cyclosporiasis outbreak…
