Antarctica Is Changing Rapidly. The Consequences Could Be Dire

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Seen from space, Antarctica looks so much simpler than the other continents—a great sheet of ice set in contrast to the dark waters of the encircling Southern Ocean. Get closer, though, and you’ll find not a simple cap of frozen water, but an extraordinarily complex interplay between the ocean, sea ice, and ice sheets and shelves. That relationship is in serious peril. A new paper in the journal Nature catal

It is well known that heat causes exhaustion in the body due to dehydration. But aging? A recent study concluded that extreme heat accelerates the aging of the human body, a worrying fact given the increasing frequency of heat waves due to climate change. The researchers are not talking about the effects of solar radiation on the skin, but biological aging. Unlike chronological age—that answer that you give when asked how old you are—your biological age reflects how well your cells, tissues, a

The fall of EV startup Fisker: A comprehensive timeline

Henrik Fisker once envisioned a burgeoning EV empire at the startup he named after himself, which was to be led by the Ocean SUV. But cracks started showing in that vision almost as soon as the Ocean hit the road in 2023. Fisker cut production targets multiple times, failed to meet sales goals and laid off staff. What’s more, its Ocean SUV was beset with software and mechanical issues, rendering it inoperable for some. Add troublesome brakes, sudden power loss and doors that wouldn’t open to th

The 5 Benefits and Risks of Sea Moss Gummies, and Who Should Try Them

The Galaxy Watch 8 is the first smartwatch I forgot I was wearing

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a sleek, lightweight smartwatch that combines smart features with the robust health tracking of Samsung Health.

God created the real numbers 07-14-2025 7:37PM (ET) 08-28-2025 12:03AM (ET) (edited) W. Jherek Swanger writes in his introduction to Camillo Agrippa's "A Treatise on the Science of Arms, with a philosophical Dialogue (1553)" that: "Scienzia [...] was and is often held to relate only to the study of the eternal: that which exists in nature, or was created by God. Thus theology and astronomy/astrology are held to be sciences. Indeed, Ridolfo Capoferro held that strictly speaking fencing is not

Samsung Messages rolls out ‘Bubble Emoji’ to put some personality into your texts

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Messages has received a new feature. The new feature will automatically add emojis to your text bubble. The update has been released in South Korea. The funny thing about Samsung Messages is that the texting app was going to be sunset. Or at least that’s what Samsung said at the beginning of the year when it decided to instead promote Google Messages. Yet, the tech giant has continued to support the app with new updates.

There's a Total Lunar Eclipse Coming, but You Might Not Be Able to See It

We Know When the iPhone 17 Will Be Announced, but When Can You Get It? Our Best Estimates

After months of tracking leaks and speculation, we now have a solid date for when the iPhone 17 will be announced. Apple sent out invitations -- once again with an enigmatic design that raises even more questions -- for its fall event, which is happening Sept. 9. Although it's entirely possible that the secretive company could pull a head-fake and not announce a new flagship iPhone lineup, that's about as likely as catching Taylor Swift riding a giraffe. But we don't know everything yet. Once t

Overdrive's digital book lending app Libby is adding — you guessed it! — AI. The new Inspire Me feature is an AI-fueled discovery tool tuned to your local branch's collection. Following a soft launch this month, it will be officially available in September. To avoid the pitfalls of a full-on chatbot, Overdrive is limiting the discovery process of the feature.

Hate voicemail? Pixel's new feature replaces it with something way better

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Google's Take a Message is available for the Pixel 4 and newer. The feature essentially replaces voicemail.

Windows 11 25H2 update hits its last stop before release to the general public

Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools

Earlier this month, EA announced that players in its Battlefield 6 open beta on PC would have to enable Secure Boot in their Windows OS and BIOS settings. That decision proved controversial among players who weren't able to get the finicky low-level security setting working on their machines and others who were unwilling to allow EA's anti-cheat tools to once again have kernel-level access to their systems. Now, Battlefield 6 technical director Christian Buhl is defending that requirement as so
