Liquid Glass Could Be One of Apple’s Most Divisive System Designs Yet

Liquid Glass Could Be One of Apple’s Most Divisive System Designs Yet

Apple revealed Liquid Glass as part of its WWDC announcement this June, with all the pomp usually reserved for shiny new gear. The press release promised a “delightful and elegant new software design” that “reflects and refracts its surroundings while dynamically transforming to bring greater focus to content.” Today it launches globally onto compatible Apple devices.

Cancer tricks the immune system with the help of a hormone

Cancer tricks the immune system with the help of a hormone

Cancer sometimes gets the immune system to back off. A new study shows that a natural signal, a hormone, can tell certain white blood cells to slow down, which lets tumors grow. This finding points to a fresh target for treatment. It also helps explain why powerful cancer drugs work well for some people but not for others. Why this …

Weakening Gulf Stream System Could Unleash Global Chaos

Weakening Gulf Stream System Could Unleash Global Chaos

The AMOC, Earth’s ocean “conveyor belt,” may collapse after 2100 under high-emission scenarios, according to new simulations. Triggered by failing deep convection in the North Atlantic, the breakdown would lock in feedback loops that lead to extreme European winters and global weather disruption.

Scientists: It’s do or die time for America’s primacy exploring the Solar System

Scientists: It’s do or die time for America’s primacy exploring the Solar System

An unforeseen contribution from Juno Juno, meanwhile, has been orbiting Jupiter since 2016, collecting information on the giant planet’s internal structure, magnetic field, and atmosphere. “Everything is functional,” said Scott Bolton, the lead scientist on Juno, also from SWRI. “There’s been some degradation, things that we saw many years ago, but those haven’t changed. Actually, some of them improved, to …

AT&T Walks Back Its System for Tracking Employees’ RTO Compliance

AT&T Walks Back Its System for Tracking Employees’ RTO Compliance

AT&T is reducing its reliance on an employee-attendance tracking system, admitting to workers that it hasn’t been fully accurate and is “driving people to the brink of frustration.” The system, known internally as presence reporting, automatically tracks the hours workers spend at their assigned office. Most are required to log at least eight hours a day, five days a week, …

Is ‘Oumuamua a piece of ancient solar system? Scientists think it came from ‘exo-Pluto’

Is ‘Oumuamua a piece of ancient solar system? Scientists think it came from ‘exo-Pluto’

1I/’Oumuamua, the first interstellar object to visit our solar system in 2017, belongs to a completely new class of space objects, scientists have discovered. It is a piece of an icy exoplanet, more specifically an “exo-Pluto,” a group of cosmic bodies that are highly unlikely to visit the Sun. “Everything about this object is consistent with it being a slab …

Scientist Watching to See If Mysterious Object Visiting Our Solar System Releases Any Probes

Ever since a mysterious interstellar object, since dubbed 3I/ATLAS, was first spotted screaming into our solar system this year, famed Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has been raising the possibility that the interstellar interloper is an “extraterrestrial artifact” that was sent to us by an intelligent alien race. Researchers have broadly come to the consensus that 3I/ATLAS is a comet. Most …
