Heavy doesn’t always mean hard work stops mattering. Long stretches of busy might once have seemed worthwhile. Yet inside the chaos, something else begins to show its face. Comfort matters most here. Beauty finds its way without effort. Room to be, that’s what grows naturally. That often brings the thought of moving to the forefront. Moving away isn’t only about going to a new place. It’s more like shifting how things unfold each day. The way moments connect also changes. Somewhere better might mean slower, clearer, truer. Now comes the soft life era: life feels automatic, almost as if it…

It is more than a year since Lindsay and Craig Foreman were taken into custody in January during a world motorcycle tour and were later charged with espionage. The couple, of East Sussex, deny the allegations and are in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. Ms Foreman spoke with ITV News on the phone from the prison, telling the broadcaster the couple believed they had the correct documentation to be in Iran despite Foreign Office warnings against travelling to the country. She said: “When you’re planning a route around the world, it’s quite complicated, and Iran is a big section of that,…

Aurora’s self-driving trucks can now travel nonstop on a 1,000-mile route between Fort Worth and Phoenix — exceeding what a human driver can legally accomplish. The distance, and the time it takes to travel it, offers up positive financial implications for Aurora — and any other company hoping to commercialize self-driving semitrucks. It takes Aurora about 15 hours to carry freight in its driverless trucks on the 1,000-mile journey, according to the company. Human truck drivers take much longer to complete the same distance due to federal regulations that limit how long they can be behind the wheel. For instance,…

NASA’s Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project completed an important step toward using local resources to support human exploration on the Moon. The CaRD team performed integrated prototype testing that used concentrated solar energy to extract oxygen from simulated lunar soil, while confirming the production of carbon monoxide through a solar-driven chemical reaction.  If deployed on the Moon, this technology could enable the production of propellant using only lunar materials and sunlight, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of sustaining a long-term human presence on the lunar surface. The same downstream systems used to convert carbon monoxide into oxygen can also be adapted to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and methane on…

Has AI coding reached a tipping point? That seems to be the case for Spotify at least, which shared this week during its fourth-quarter earnings call that the best developers at the company “have not written a single line of code since December.” That statement, from Spotify co-CEO Gustav Söderström, came alongside other comments about how the company is using AI to accelerate development. Of note, Spotify pointed out it shipped more than 50 new features and changes to its streaming app throughout 2025. And, most recently, it has rolled out more features, like AI-powered Prompted Playlists, Page Match for…
