Divine Remember Vine? The short-form video app from back when people were sharing creative things just for fun and not primarily to maximize engagement and make more money? It’s back, thanks in large part to Jack Dorsey, who was chairman of Twitter when it bought Vine a few months before it debuted in 2013. Divine — a rebooted version of the app with no affiliation to Vine, Twitter or X — is now available for iOS and Android. As with Vine, users create and share looping videos with a maximum…
The force of a pumping heart changes how cancer cells function, halting their ability to multiply and spread, a new study shows.The finding may help to explain why heart cancer is so rare, occurring in fewer than 2 in 100,000 people per year.A protein called Nesprin-2 is key to this phenomenon. Found in the outer membrane of a cell’s nucleus, the protein was already known to sense and respond to mechanical forces. Now, Nesprin-2 has been found to sense the force of heartbeats and stop cancerous cells from multiplying. You may like In addition to offering a possible explanation for…
I was struck by a thought while playing through Pragmata. No, not about Hugh, Diana, or the shitstorm surrounding discussions of the game online. Not even about its lunar setting, the game’s wider fascination with 3D printing, or its “uncle-core” qualities. Instead, I was surprised by how much I sucked at its primary puzzle-solving gameplay mechanic, and how much I was totally okay with that. In Pragmata, you’re dropped into the heavy boots of Hugh, an engineer sent up to make repairs on a moon base packed to the brim with homicidal robots. The only problem is that the weapons…
Disney will have the law on its side in its fight against the unusual broadcast license review ordered yesterday by the Federal Communications Commission, legal experts say. In 1996, Congress made it a lot harder for the FCC to take away a broadcast license, even when it’s up for renewal. “Since the NAB [National Association of Broadcasters] got an amendment in the 1996 Telecommunications Act, denying renewal to a broadcaster faces an almost insurmountable burden,” Andrew Jay Schwartzman, senior counselor of the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, told Ars this week. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was a major…
Google Google Photos is adding a new AI feature this summer. Wardrobe creates a “digital closet” for your clothing and jewelry, making it easier to organize them and pick what to wear. The feature discovers your clothes by scanning your Google Photos library. It then creates a catalog of your items, organized by category (tops, bottoms, jewelry, etc.). Thumbnails give each piece of clothing a simple visual reference.From there, you can mix and match items to create outfits — sharing them with friends or saving to a “digital moodboard.” There’s…
A discarded piece of a SpaceX rocket carelessly left adrift in space will likely crash into the moon this summer, a new report finds.The renegade rocket poses no risk to the moon or any working spacecraft, the report stresses. However, the collision — which is predicted to occur Aug. 5 on the border of the moon’s near and far sides — may be of “minor scientific interest” if it creates a new crater that can later be studied.”It doesn’t present any danger to anyone, though it does highlight a certain carelessness about how leftover space hardware (space junk) is disposed…
Do you need some new games to play? Do you own a Switch? Well, you’re in luck. A bunch of great Switch games are currently on sale on Amazon and Woot at a decent discount. The ones I’m about to recommend to you aren’t what normally come to mind when most people think “best” Switch games. There’s no The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe here. But I promise each of these five digital game picks is great all the same: Okay, so maybe Advance Wars should have launched at $40 but, well, here…
Antibiotic resistance is a fast-growing public health crisis, causing more than a million global deaths annually and contributing to nearly 5 million more. These infections are more difficult and more expensive to treat than typical infections and are responsible for longer hospital stays, driving up costs for hospitals and patients alike.Treatment mostly comes down to guesswork on the part of physicians. Ara Darzi, a surgeon and director of the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London, says AI-powered diagnostics offer a better way.“We’re standing, right now, in 2026, at the first genuine inflection point in this crisis,” Darzi…

You may remember RedCandleGames from the 2019 Chinese censorship campaign targeting the studio’s…
Written by Sharon Wilson Purdy, Planetary Geologist at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum Earth planning date: Friday, April 24, 2026 There was excitement in the air as the Curiosity Science Team kicked off a drill campaign at the Atacama site to characterize the first Mount Sharp layered-sulfate bedrock since leaving the boxwork terrain. Monday was a three-sol plan (4873-4875) where we focused on “drill sol 1” activities that included a pre-load test on our drill target as well as triage contact science. APXS assembled a set of repeated observations on the Atacama drill target, and the coordinated MAHLI…
