Astronomers at UCL and the University of Warwick, as part of a global collaboration including partners in Chile, USA and Europe, have discovered the smallest known star to host a transiting giant planet, which should not exist under leading planet formation theories. Star TOI-6894 is just like many in our galaxy, a small red dwarf, and only ~20% of the mass of our Sun. Like many small stars, it is not expected to provide suitable conditions for the formation and hosting of a large planet. Howe

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably noticed that AI's being crammed everywhere. From Taco Bell drivethrus to eye glasses to schools, the AI boom is forcing the tech anywhere it can fit. That means it'll also be in your toilet soon, at least if one tech startup has its way. Based out of — where else — Austin, Throne is a bold new startup leveraging AI to revolutionize the way we interact with our toilet. The new company just raised $4 million in venture capitalist funds, cou

Other Good Toiletry Bags There were multiple great bags we tried whose features or designs just didn't add up to a place in the top spots above. However, everyone has something different they're looking for in a toiletry bag, so while not perfect for us, some of these options may still be perfect for you.

The James Webb Space Telescope just zoomed in on the atmosphere of a planet discovered in 2020 -- and now we have the clearest data ever about an exoplanet. The awkwardly named Planet TOI-421b's exoplanet status means that it doesn't orbit our sun. (Exoplanets are defined as any planet beyond our solar system.) Don't expect to travel there any time soon. It's 244 light-years away from the Earth -- for comparison, the dwarf planet Pluto is only five and a half light-hours from us. The planet or

When I was a boy, I had a ride-on lawnmower with no blades. I’d wanted a ride-on lawnmower for years, ever since my brothers and I found and restored-to-life a John Deere we found in the garage of a rental house in rural France. (The elderly neighbour, after observing from behind her lace curtains, came over to our yard once we got it running, after days or weeks of tinkering, to accuse us of wasting gas joyriding it around the driveway.) So, when one turned up at the local Canadian second hand

It is our lot in life to poop. We eat stuff, digest it, and then the waste must be expelled. That’s just the way it is, which means we are destined to spend a not-insignificant portion of our time sitting on the porcelain throne. So why not make that as pleasant an experience as possible? And if your toilet seat can make the experience better, cleaner, and more comfortable, then does it not deserve its own throne? Behold the Brondell Swash Thinline T44, the best bidet seat I’ve ever sat on. And

Much like people, some animals take to parenthood later than usual. A pair of Western Santa Cruz Galápagos tortoises at the Philadelphia Zoo have just become parents as they approach the century mark. This month, the Philadelphia Zoo announced the arrival of four hatchlings born to the male tortoise Abrazzo and the aptly named female Mommy. The hatchlings are the first ever born in the Zoo’s 150-year history, and Mommy is the oldest documented member of her species to become a mother. More hatc

Back in 2019, a group of masked men drove up to the ancestral home of Winston Churchill in the British countryside, broke in, and proceeded to steal a true national treasure: a fully functional toilet made of 18 karate gold. Half a decade later, the conspirators have finally been brought to justice. The New York Times reports that, following a three-week trial, Michael Jones, 39, and Fred Doe, 36, were found guilty of crimes related to the theft. Jones was found guilty of burglary while Doe was

I was recently interviewed for a piece in the Times on why the philosophy of stoicism has become very popular in the Silicon Valley tech crowd. Only a sliver of my thoughts made it into the article, but the question from Nellie Bowles was very stimulating so I wanted to share more of my thoughts. To begin with, like any ancient philosophy, stoicism has a physics and metaphysics–how it thinks the universe works–and separately an ethics–how it advises one to live, and judge good and bad action.

These young men had very little education. With some difficulty, Kumar, who was twenty-six, could write in Hindi his name and a brief description of the work that he did. In the years preceding independence, while in a British jail in Ahmednagar Fort, the future Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had bemoaned in his magisterial “The Discovery of India” that “of our millions how few get any education at all.” He added this hopeful note: “If life opened its gates to them and offered them food and hea

the best Bidet seats are one of those luxuries you can live without until you realize what you're missing. My first encounter came at a ramen spot on the West Coast of the US that had imported a high-end Toto washlet from Japan, where they've been around for decades. I might have been an early adopter, but bidets are getting more common in the US. Toto’s American sales doubled in the first quarter of 2020 and have grown by double digits every year since. More people are starting to realize that

Tushy has done a lot to raise awareness about bidets in the United States. I don't personally love their approach to marketing—potty puns aplenty and a T-shirt that reads “Ask Me About My Butthole”—but as the keeper of our guide to the best bidets, and as a long-time advocate for bidets, I have to respect the hustle. I also haven't been especially impressed by Tushy's products. The company's flagship is a simple, cheap bidet that attaches under a standard toilet seat to clean using cold water.
