There's been an uptick in high-protein snacks, shakes and protein powders, so it’s no surprise that protein is still a hot topic. If you rely on supplements to help achieve your protein quota, then you know how heavy traditional protein shakes can sometimes feel, even when mixed with a high-speed blender. Clear whey protein might be worth a try. Clear whey protein is a version of whey protein isolate (a popular protein powder) that undergoes an ultrafiltration process to remove fat, lactose and

Meal kits have become the love child of "I want to eat something that didn't come from a drive-through" and "I wouldn't know a good recipe if it kissed me on the mouth." Meal kits are perfect for health-conscious folks who've realized that ordering Thai food five nights a week isn't a nutrition plan and for culinary beginners who think "sautéing" is a French dance move.

AI Is Designing Bizarre New Physics Experiments That Actually Work

“LIGO is this huge thing that thousands of people have been thinking about deeply for 40 years,” said Aephraim Steinberg, an expert on quantum optics at the University of Toronto. “They’ve thought of everything they could have, and anything new [the AI] comes up with is a demonstration that it’s something thousands of people failed to do.” Although AI has not yet led to new discoveries in physics, it’s becoming a powerful tool across the field.

What Is the Electric Constant and Why Should You Care?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2026-02-06 03:00:00

It's fun to think about the fundamental physical constants. These are special values used in our models of the physical universe. They include things like the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck’s constant, and they’re “fundamental” in the sense that we can't derive them theoretically, we can only measure them. We use these in solving physics problems all the time, so it’s easy to take them for granted. But why are there such numbers in nature, and why do they just happen to

What it offers instead is something far simpler and more deliberate: the feeling of shooting video for the sake of it.

Now well into its third year, it's safe to say the Russo-Ukraine war has ushered in a new type of warfare fit for this decade.
