F1 in Italy: Look what happens when the downforce comes off

Formula 1 held its Italian Grand Prix at Monza this past weekend. It's the third-oldest purpose-built racetrack on the planet, and even includes an old and rather dangerous-looking oval that, while no longer in use, is accessible on foot if you feel like exploring. It's a deceptively simple-looking track where it's all about top speed, and nailing your braking into the four heavy deceleration zones. Downforce is actually an impediment here, and that means the pecking order that we have become fa

Chris Roberts hopes Squadron 42 will be “almost as big” as GTA VI next year

The single-player Star Citizen spin-off Squadron 42 is slated to finally be in players' hands in 2026, 11 full years after its initial 2015 release target. And after all that time, Cloud Imperium Games CEO Chris Roberts says he's hopeful that the title will be received similarly to another 2026 release that happens to be possibly the most anticipated video game of all time: Grand Theft Auto VI.

THIS ARTICLE IS republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license. “I’m not sure if it was the effect of the atomic bomb, but I have always had a weak body, and when I was born, the doctor said I wouldn’t last more than three days.” These are the words of Kazumi Kuwahara, a third-generation hibakusha—a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan 80 years ago. Kuwahara, who still lives in Hiroshima, was in London on May 6 this year to give a speech at a V

Watch a Reconstructed 250-Year-Old Robotic Painting Bring a Fiery Mount Vesuvius Back to Life

Sir William Hamilton was the British ambassador to the court of Naples and Sicily from 1765 to 1800, as well as a passionate volcanologist. During his time in Italy he must have seen Mount Vesuvius erupt a number of times—certainly enough to leave a lasting impression. So much so that in 1775 he designed a rotating device that, with mechanical movement and light, could bring to life the fiery magma depicted in Pietro Fabris’ 1771 watercolor, “Night view of a current of lava.” While experts aren
