Video used to be an afterthought for Nikon, but since the company purchased RED last year, content creators are now high on its priority list.

Private astronaut Jared Isaacman returned to Congress on Wednesday for a second confirmation hearing to become NASA administrator before the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation in Washington, DC. There appeared to be no showstoppers during the hearing, in which Isaacman reiterated his commitment to the space agency’s Artemis Program and defended his draft plan for NASA, “Project Athena,” which calls for an assessment of how NASA should adapt to meet the modern space age. During his testimony, Isaacman expressed urgency as NASA faces a growing threat from China to its supremacy in spaceflight. “After more than a…

Out now on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam, Sektori is one of those games that takes less than five minutes to understand and yet will suck up hours of your life in no time. You control a small, colorful shape that must destroy other vibrantly glowing shapes and objects that will damage…

Collectively, the genetic variants in this population are outside the range of previously described human diversity. That’s despite the fact that the present-day southern African hunter-gatherer populations are largely derived from southern African ancestors. What’s distinct? Estimates of the timing of when this ancient south African population branched off from any modern-day populations place the split at over 200,000 years ago, or roughly around the origin of modern humans themselves. But this wasn’t some odd, isolated group; estimates of population size based on the frequency of genetic variation suggest it was substantial. Instead, the researchers suggest that climate and geography…
