The Rio Madre de Dios basin was an ideal location to study how the Earth cycles fossil carbon. Credit: Mark Torres/Rice University As the primary element of life on our planet, carbon is constantly journeying from living creatures down into the Earth’s crust and back up into the atmosphere, but until recently, quantifying this journey was virtually impossible. To help unravel the mystery of how the Earth cycles fossil carbon, Rice University’s Mark Torres and collaborators studied the chemistry of a river system extending from the Peruvian Andes to the Amazon floodplains. Together with collaborators from five other institutions, Torres…

The “Bad Blood” singer’s longtime pal Gigi Hadid broke her silence about the pair by slamming rumors that claimed she didn’t “agree” with how Taylor, 33, was “handling” her and Travis’ relationship.  Four days ago, celebrity gossip website Perez Hilton posted a report via Instagram claiming that Gigi, 28, wasn’t happy with Taylor’s new romance. In response, the runway queen commented, “I’m a couple days late to this tag … but didn’t the press try this last week [with] Selena?” Let it be…

Machine learning models are taking over in the field of weather forecasting, from a quick “how long will this rain last” to a 10-day outlook, all the way out to century-level predictions. The technology is increasingly important to climate scientists as well as apps and local news stations — and yet it doesn’t “understand” the weather any more than you or I do. For decades meteorology and weather forecasting have been largely defined by fitting observations into carefully tuned physics-based models and equations. That’s still true — there’s no science without observation — but the vast archives of data have…

I just spent an entire week working in virtual reality using the new Meta Quest 3. While the experience still mostly sucked, I came away with some renewed optimism for VR in the workplace.As I took Ron’s outstretched, virtual hand for a handshake, my actual hand — in the real world — clumsily whacked into the side of my desk. Ron from Microsoft showing how to use hand gestures to interact with the menu and other useful shortcuts in the Immersed app. Ron started laughing, his avatar’s animated facial expressions mimicking his real face thanks to his device’s eye and…

An intensive three-year intervention to lower the top blood pressure number to less than 120 mm Hg was more effective at preventing death, heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular events in adults at high risk for cardiovascular disease, compared to the standard treatment target of under 140 mm Hg, according to late-breaking science presented today at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2023. The meeting, Nov. 11-13, in Philadelphia, is a premier global exchange of the latest scientific advancements, research and evidence-based clinical practice updates in cardiovascular science. “Our study provides evidence to support targeting systolic blood pressure to less…

Matt Ratana, of the Metropolitan Police and from Goring, was murdered in the early hours of September 25, 2020, by Louis de Zoysa, who opened fire with an antique revolver at Croydon custody suite in south London. De Zoysa, who is autistic, had earlier been arrested and searched but officers failed to find the gun the 26-year-old had in an underarm holster, despite discovering bullets in his pocket. Senior coroner Sarah Ormond-Walshe, concluding an inquest at Croydon Town Hall on Monday into Sgt Ratana’s death, ruled it was an unlawful killing. “There was a failure to carry out a safe,…
