A Meteor Impact May Have Caused a Giant Landslide in the Grand Canyon

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-27 20:30:00

Researchers have long puzzled over the presence of driftwood and lake sediments in Stanton’s Cave in the eastern Grand Canyon, whose mouth sits 150 feet (45.7 meters) above the river. How could the material possibly have reached that height? According to Karl Karlstrom, a geologist from the University of New Mexico, it would have had to be carried by flood levels ten times bigger than any seen in the past several thousand years. An international team of researchers proposes a surprising chain o

I Took My Leica On a Trip to the Arctic. Here Are My Pro Tips for a Photography Adventure

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-27 19:00:09

Earlier this year, I traveled to Sweden to research, write and photograph a feature for CNET on why electric cars are great for winter driving. It was a huge undertaking, requiring me to travel around multiple parts of Sweden and venture north into the frozen Arctic Circle. As both a journalist and a professional photographer, it was my job to not just tell the story with my words, but to capture it on camera. That meant traveling with precisely the right equipment and knowing exactly how to use

The European Commission has stalled one of its investigations into Elon Musk’s X for breaking the bloc’s digital transparency rules, while it seeks to conclude trade talks with the US. Brussels was expected to finalise its probe into the social media platform before the EU’s summer recess but will miss this deadline, according to three officials familiar with the matter. They noted that a decision was likely to follow after clarity emerged in the EU-US trade negotiations. “It’s all tied up,” on

Feds tell automakers to forget about paying fuel economy fines

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-27 20:27:16

Automakers selling cars in the United States now have even less incentive to care about fuel economy. As Ars has noted before, the current administration and its Republican allies in Congress have been working hard to undermine federal regulations meant to make our vehicle fleet more efficient. Some measures have been aimed at decreasing adoption of electric vehicles—for example the IRS clean vehicle tax credit will be eliminated at the end of September.

Eddington gets the pandemic right but still isn’t a great movie

A24 is known for its prestige arthouse films, but in its early days as a distributor, it made most of its money from elevated horror films like Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Midsommar. Over a decade in, the ambitions of A24 and Aster have expanded beyond genre film. But for both, the more recent results have been mixed. Eddington, Aster’s latest, feels like a continuation of the maximalist guilt-trip Beau Is Afraid. Joaquin Phoenix stars once again, though the concerns here are less Jewish and Oed
