The latest Hubble Space Telescope observations reveal a twist in the story of Uranus’s moons. Rather than the expected radiation “sunburn,” the moons Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon seem to be literally gathering cosmic dust. It turns out the planet’s odd tilt isn’t scorching their backsides as predicted, but coating the front ends of the two outer moons in a kind of space-grime instead. This result has astronomers scratching their heads, because it’s just the opposite of what they expected under Uranus’s warped magnetic field.Dust, Not RadiationAccording to the data from NASA’s Voyager 2 flyby in 1986 and decades of…

This isn’t just another media company — it’s a place where people are curious about everything, everyone cares a crazy amount about the brand (and each other), and where…

They also reinforce analysts’ projections that Nintendo may be able to sell far more if it can pump up supply.Catching up with runaway demand is the first major challenge Nintendo now faces. President Shuntaro Furukawa has apologized after customers came away from lotteries for the Switch 2 empty-handed. The Kyoto-based company has asked its…
The old saying, “if you wait long enough, everything comes back into style eventually,” is usually attributed to the fashion industry, but it seems to apply to pretty much anything, especially mobile phone interface design.So, while my younger colleagues are getting all hot and bothered about Apple’s new Liquid Glass design for its operating systems, like iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, forgive me if I can’t help but be a little less enthusiastic, because I’ve seen all this before.The crux of the new Liquid Glass design is that the “material” (an odd choice of words from Apple to describe something…
