Rakuten will not renew its contract with...

July 22, 2020

Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten has decided not to renew its contract with WeWork when it expires next month, according to a report in the Japan Times. Rakuten had leased about 700 desks in Tokyo, but is now planning to move employees from its fintech division into its own new offices. Both WeWork and Rakuten declined to comment to TechCrunch. Tokyo is also the headquarters of WeWork’s biggest investor SoftBank, which took ownership of the coworking startup last October as……

July 22, 2020

As the Covid-19 shutdowns and stay-at-home orders brought much of the world’s travel and commerce to a standstill, people around the world started noticing clearer skies as a result of lower levels of air pollution. Now, researchers have been able to demonstrate that those clearer skies had a measurable impact on the output from solar photovoltaic panels, leading to a more than 8 percent increase in the power output from installations in Delhi. While such an improved output was……

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — There’s no bench. The courtside broadcasters will not be courtside. And the stat crew will be doing their work inside what loosely can be described as an oversized hockey penalty box. The NBA comes back Wednesday with a very different look. The league’s marketing motto for the restart of the season at Walt Disney World is “Whole New Game,” and in many respects, that’s very true. The arenas that will be used for…

The Art Deco Capital of Central Africa

July 21, 2020

Our Lady of Peace Cathedral in Bukavu, a city of one million in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is perched atop one of the highest hills in the area. With its sharp outlines, geometric precision, and green, curved roof, it’s easily spotted from the edges of town. A relic from the period when Congo was colonized by a brutal Belgian regime, it’s a part of a rich, if unexpected, architectural legacy in Bukavu: The city is a world……

Why America’s Craft Brewers All Love a...

July 21, 2020

When Jagged Mountain Craft Brewery in Denver, Colorado, released their new milk stout last fall, brewers from across the country came pouring into their tap room to try it. Sure, it was the same weekend as the Great American Beer Festival, so representatives from more than 800 breweries were already beer hopping their way through the Mile High City. But the crush of pint-pouring peers was lured in by word that Jagged Mountain’s freshest beer was brewed with lactose,……

Ralph Carr Memorial, Sakura Square in Denver,...

July 21, 2020

On February 19, 1942, Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 that ultimately resulted in the imprisonment in concentration camps of people of Japanese ancestry. Most governors of the western United States embraced the relocation and assisted with the removal of Japanese Americans, though many objected to having the camps placed in their states. The sole objection to the program as a whole came from Governor Ralph L. Carr of Colorado. He objected to denying the rights of American citizens……

How to grow a cosmic magnetic field

July 21, 2020

When Muni Zhou looks into a clear night sky, she might be focusing less on the stars and more on what cannot be seen with the eye. The MIT graduate student, now in her fourth year at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), is fascinated by vast magnetic field structures that exist not only around planets like Earth, but beyond the heliosphere to the edges of the universe. How these cosmic magnetic fields originated and evolved is the……

A new way to control experimentation with...

July 21, 2020

The study of dreams has entered the modern era in exciting ways, and researchers from MIT and other institutions have created a community dedicated to advancing the field, lending it legitimacy and expanding further research opportunities. In a new paper, researchers from the Media Lab’s Fluid Interfaces group introduce a novel method called “Targeted Dream Incubation” (TDI). This protocol, implemented through an app in conjunction with a wearable sleep-tracking sensor device, not only helps record dream reports, but also……

July 21, 2020

A few miles east of Matera, in Southern Italy, a research center belonging to the Italian Space Agency (ASI) sits far into the countryside of the Murge plateau, away from towns and busy roads. The Centro di Geodesia Spaziale (Center for Space Geodesy), dedicated to Italian mathematician Giuseppe Colombo, was founded in 1983 as a collaboration between the National Research Council (CNR), NASA, and the Region of Basilicata. It’s managed by Italian spaceflight company Telespazio. The center now hosts……

Äventyrsgruvan Tuna-Hästberg (Tuna-Hästberg Adventure Mine) in Borlänge...

July 21, 2020

Sweden has many mines that dot the landscape, many of which have been closed or abandoned. Some have been made accessible to the public, but often imposing strict rules and paths. This is not the case for the Tuna-Hästberg Adventure Mine, where almost nothing is off-limits. The mine dates back to the 1600s, but most of its 12.5 miles (20 kilometers) of tunnels were dug in the late 19th and early 20th-centuries. The tunnels go down about 1,700 feet……

July 21, 2020

It’s easy to want to keep this place a secret: nearly a square mile of green fields, eye-popping sculpture, groves of trees, and spectacular, tranquil views of art in nature, all within 90 minutes of New York City. But the experience at Storm King Art Center—to call it an outdoor museum is inadequate—compels you to share. And now, more than three months after it typically welcomes visitors for the season, it’s possible to visit again. After months in quarantine,……

Neural vulnerability in Huntington’s disease tied to...

July 21, 2020

In the first study to comprehensively track how different types of brain cells respond to the mutation that causes Huntington’s disease (HD), MIT neuroscientists found that a significant cause of death for an especially afflicted kind of neuron might be an immune response to genetic material errantly released by mitochondria, the cellular components that provide cells with energy. In different cell types at different stages of disease progression, the researchers measured how levels of RNA differed from normal in……

US charges two Chinese spies for a...

July 21, 2020

U.S. prosecutors have charged two Chinese nationals, said to be working for China’s state intelligence bureau, for their alleged involvement in a massive global hacking operation that targeted hundreds of companies and governments for more than a decade. The 11-count indictment, unsealed Tuesday, alleges Li Xiaoyu, 34, and Dong Jiazhi, 33, stole terabytes of data from high-technology companies, around the world — including the United States, the prosecutors said. More recently, the prosecutors accused the hackers of targeting the……

Valle delle Ferriere in Province of Salerno,...

July 21, 2020

Most tourists don’t stray away from Amalfi’s picturesque city center, but a three-hour trail behind the town ascends into the so-called Valle dei Mulini (Valley of the Mills) and Valle delle Ferriere (Valley of the Ironworks), a sight which is less known, but no less beautiful than Sorrento’s own Valley of the Mills. The lush vegetation and waterfalls of the Canneto River provide a stark contrast with Amalfi’s hot and dry Mediterranean climate. At the end of the valley,……
