Liu's Bakery in Taichung City, Taiwan

January 16, 2025

In the world of Taiwanese baked goods, few treats are as nostalgic as the Apple Bread. Much like Hong Kong’s pineapple buns contain no actual pineapple, this soft, golden loaf contains no apple. Instead, its moniker was a nod to Apple Sidra, a local soda brand invented in the 1960s. Perhaps more importantly, apples came to symbolize luxury in Taiwan’s post-war era of limited resources. Liu’s Bakery in Taichung was founded in 1962 by Mr. Liu Zheji, a former……

Memphis Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee

January 16, 2025

This 32-story pyramid, constructed to be a two-thirds-size replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza, was initially used by the Memphis Grizzlies NBA team. In 2004, they moved to a new arena, leaving the future of the structure uncertain. In 2015, an unlikely tenant took over: Bass Pro Shops. As their largest store in the world, the Memphis Pyramid’s 360,000 square feet now offer an expansive shopping experience. An indoor “swamp” houses several alligators, and its giant aquarium is home……

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — One of NASA’s two stuck astronauts got a much welcomed change of scenery Thursday, stepping out on her first spacewalk since arriving at the International Space Station more than seven months ago. Suni Williams, the station’s commander, tackled some overdue outdoor repair work alongside NASA’s Nick Hague. They emerged as the orbiting lab sailed 260 miles (420 kilometers) above Turkmenistan. Williams got a close-up look at the SpaceX capsule that will bring her home…

ALTADENA, Calif. (AP) — The warnings began on Saturday, Jan. 4. Our neighbor, a volunteer at the local sheriff’s station, texted that we should “batten down the hatches” for a “big windstorm.” From there, things moved fast. On Sunday, I put on a bowtie and tux to cover the red carpet at the Golden Globes. Tuesday morning, I drove from my home in Altadena toward the massive Pacific Palisades wildfire to shoot video for our coverage. I asked my…

JAMMU, India (AP) — India docked two satellites in space Thursday to become the fourth nation to complete such a mission, officials said, in a milestone for the country’s scientific ambitions. The two satellites weighing 220 kilograms (485 pounds) each were blasted into orbit on a single rocket in December and sent into slightly different orbits. On Thursday, they were maneuvered back together in a “precision” operation, according to the the Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO. “India docked…

Gateway Diner Beatrixpark in Almere, Netherlands

January 16, 2025

The Gateway Diner was a classic, all American restaurant established in 1939 in Philipsburg, New Jersey. After being toured around Germany, the diner found its final resting place in 2010, in the small town of Almere in the Netherlands. The town was founded in 1976, easily making it the oldest building in town. Many entrepreneurs have tried to establish American-inspired restaurants in the area, but all would eventually fail. Lying dormant for the past few years, the diner is now taking……

Making the art world more accessible

January 16, 2025

In the world of high-priced art, galleries usually act as gatekeepers. Their selective curation process is a key reason galleries in major cities often feature work from the same batch of artists. The system limits opportunities for emerging artists and leaves great art undiscovered. NALA was founded by Benjamin Gulak ’22 to disrupt the gallery model. The company’s digital platform, which was started as part of an MIT class project, allows artists to list their art and uses machine……

On an otherwise quiet weekday morning in Segundo Barrio, a working-class neighborhood on the south side of El Paso, the tap, tap, tap of Jose Contreras’ hammer echoes from inside the blue warehouse on Cotton Street. With silver nails clamped between his lips, the 61-year-old uses a special pair of pliers to tug a shaft of red leather over a wooden shoe form and tap it into place.

January 15, 2025

With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some of agriculture’s harmful impacts on the environment. To help make this idea a reality, MIT researchers are developing robotic insects that could someday swarm out of mechanical hives to rapidly perform precise pollination. However, even the best bug-sized robots are no match for natural pollinators like bees when it comes to endurance, speed, and……
