After a multi-decade-year mission to understand the nature of the universe, a telescope perched in the mountain plateaus of northern Chile said goodbye in 2022. Now, its final data release is revealing the telescope’s legacy: a field in tension.In October 2007, the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) saw its first light. But it was not light from a star, or even a distant galaxy. Instead, ACT was designed to hunt for microwaves, especially the kind of microwaves left over from some of the earliest epochs of the universe. This “fossil” light, known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB), was emitted when…

Ford is once again shifting its electric vehicle manufacturing plans, a response to a year that’s been tough for the powertrain technology that’s still making waves overseas but has seen domestic government support cut and customer enthusiasm weaken.Instead of planning to make enough electric vehicles to account for 40 percent of global sales by 2030—as it pledged just four years ago—Ford says it will focus on a broader range of hybrids, extended-range electrics, and battery-electric models, which executives now say will account for 50 percent of sales by the end of the decade. The automaker will make hybrid versions of…

Steve Rogers was supposed to retire with Peggy after time-traveling to the past at the end of Avengers: Endgame, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been struggling lately, so the man is back in Avengers: Doomsday, as if Disney has broken him out of an “in case of emergency” case. According to Hollywood leaker Daniel Richtman, Marvel is reportedly putting out multiple theater-exclusive teasers featuring some returning characters for the film, and the first will star Chris Evans as the man formerly known as Captain America. From the looks of it, the video may have leaked if you want to…

Every year for decades, long rivers of smoke and haze have spread across the Indo-Gangetic Plain in northern India from October to December. That’s when farmers in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and other states burn off plant “stubble” after the rice harvest. When winds are weak and the atmosphere becomes stagnant, the haze can push levels of air pollution several times higher than limits recommended by the World Health Organization. Smoke typically mixes with particles and gases from other sources, such as industry, vehicles, domestic fires (heating and cooking), fireworks, and dust storms, to form the haze, though…

Last month saw the release of Project Misriah, an ambitious modding project that tried to recreate the feel of Halo 3 inside Valve’s Counter-Strike 2. That project has now been taken down from the Steam Workshop, though, after drawing a DMCA complaint from Microsoft. Modder Froddoyo introduced Project Misriah on November 16 as “a workshop collection of Halo ported maps and assets that aims to bring a Halo 3 multiplayer-like experience to Counter-Strike 2.” Far from just being inspired by Halo 3, the mod directly copied multiple sound effects, character models, maps, and even movement mechanics from Bungie and Microsoft’s…

For the last few weeks, I’ve been playing Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds 2. I really like it! And after wrapping the game up over the weekend, I realized that I just played the closest thing to Fallout 5 that I’ll get until Bethesda finally ships the wasteland RPG in, like, a decade from now. The Outer Worlds 2, out now on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, is the much bigger and better follow-up to Obsidian’s original Outer Worlds from 2016. While both games are open-world space RPGs, the sequel expands on every part of the original game, featuring more planets,…
