Tectonic processes and the “ghosts” of past ice sheets are contorting, lifting and pulling Greenland in different directions, new research reveals.Greenland sits on the North American tectonic plate, which has dragged the island northwest by 0.9 inches (23 millimeters) per year over the past two decades. Researchers have been monitoring this drift for some time, but a new study analyzing satellite data has found that there is far more to the movement and to other deformations than just plate tectonics.”We get this complicated pattern with twisting, pressure, and tension,” said study lead author Danjal Longfors Berg, a postdoctoral researcher specializing…

Did you know that several of the Mega Evolutions in Pokémon have some element of the letters “X” or “Y” in their designs? It’s true! While they don’t literally look like the letters in most cases, some aspects of their designs resemble the names of the 3DS Pokémon games they originally debuted in back in 2013. When one Pokémon pixel artist and commentator called TAHK0 pointed this out on X, he was bombarded with hateful responses. Where some people would retreat and try to ignore the harassment, TAHK0 instead made a two-and-a-half-hour-long video breaking down how almost every one of…

“Often, sweat was dripping down my back within the first two hours of a shift and would not stop dripping until the next morning,” writes Hu Anyan in the new English translation of his bestselling book I Deliver Parcels in Beijing. “I sweated so much I never once needed to pee.” This passage was on my mind as I read his book in Tianjin during one hot, Labubu brainrot summer, during which yet another unprecedented annual heat wave had forced almost everyone inside—except for the tireless couriers and delivery workers, whose services are in higher demand when temperatures soar.Courtesy of…

Astronomers have discovered a surprisingly lopsided disk surrounding the mysterious nearby star Beta Canis Minoris, thanks to a brand new “photonic lantern” device that could vastly improve the observing power of ground-based telescopes.Beta Canis Minoris, also known as Gomeisa, is around 3.5 times more massive than the sun and is located approximately 162 light-years from Earth in the Canis Minor constellation, where it is visible to the naked eye at night. Despite its relative proximity to Earth, researchers still don’t know much about it. For example, past research suggested it is a close binary system made up of two smaller…
