The National Drought Group met today (Monday 11 August) with the current water shortfall situation in England now defined as a “nationally significant incident.” Five areas are officially in drought, with six more experiencing prolonged dry weather following the driest six months to July since 1976. Despite the unsettled weather last month, many river flows and reservoir levels in England continued to recede compared to June. Rainstorms and showers helped mask the fact that July was still the

I hate Google Search’s AI overviews, so I replaced them with Brave

Megan Ellis / Android Authority A few months ago, I switched from Google to Brave on my Android phone. While I initially did this to force dark mode on my mobile browser and remove ads, I discovered plenty of benefits to using Brave over Chrome. One of these is access to Brave’s search engine, which prioritizes higher quality results with fewer ads and sponsored results compared to Google Search. But as I’ve continued to use Brave Search across devices, I also realized something else: AI summa

The Best Whitening Toothpaste of 2025, According to Dentists

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-30 11:26:00

Why we like it: Colgate Optic White Pro Series toothpaste is one whitening toothpaste that Dr. Fatima Khan, a dentist in Houston, Texas, recommends. Some of her reasons for recommending it include its trusted brand name and its 5% hydrogen peroxide whitening agent. Unlike other whitening agents that work by removing stains on the surface of the tooth, hydrogen peroxide can get inside the tooth so it whitens intrinsically as well as extrinsically. Sachar also recommends this toothpaste, saying,

Engineering Breakthrough Opens Door to Cheap Hydrogen Power

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-01 14:45:37

As an alternative to fossil fuel combustion, hydrogen fuel cells hold tremendous promise. But they’re also notoriously difficult and expensive to manage, which largely explains why we don’t see them everywhere (or anywhere, for that matter, except for a few initiatives that are “exploring” their efficiency). But that may soon change. In a Nature Materials paper published August 8, researchers announced the development of a new type of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that addresses an underlying pr

YouTuber recreates a floppy disk from scratch

There's nothing quite like the drive to build something just to see if you can. YouTuber polymatt set out to create a floppy disk drive, the favored storage medium of yesteryear, from scratch, because why not. For anyone born too late to have regularly used one, a floppy disk is a magnetically coated, flexible polyester disk encased in a protective shell.

I'm no stranger to period underwear and other "alternative" period products (where my menstrual cup fans at?), so I jumped at the chance to write this guide.

Cutting Through the Security Noise: How XDR helps Teams Focus on Real Threats

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-12-02 06:00:39

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a modern security technology designed primarily as a Security Operations Centre (SOC) enabler tool. It addresses the complexities and challenges faced by security teams in today’s evolving threat landscape. The core idea behind XDR is to take challenging incident response processes and make security analysts more effective, even at more junior levels. The term XDR itself has emerged over the last few years and can be seen as somewhat nebulous, with diffe

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 360 BC, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces.
