Malahat Skywalk in Malahat, British Columbia

December 9, 2024

Rising 250 meters above sea level, the Malahat SkyWalk is an architecturally impressive tower that offers some of the best views on Vancouver Island. From the top of its spiral staircase, you can see Mt. Baker, Finlayson Arm fjord, the Saanich Peninsula, and islands in Canada and the United States. Walking along this elevated boardwalk, be on the lookout for sculptures of local animals hiding along the way. Going up the skyway ramp, you’ll pass the treetops and look out……

La Cova Fumada in Barcelona, Spain

December 9, 2024

Even if you’ve been to Barcelona’s portside La Barceloneta neighborhood, you probably didn’t notice this spot. But that’s not your fault; La Cova Fumada, one of the city’s most iconic bodegas, has no sign. Inside, there’s little more to indicate that this is a restaurant—at least not in the contemporary sense: the walls are decorated with a few pages torn out of a soccer magazine. There’s an ancient menu posted on the wall and a few wine barrels off……

Cooking Creatively With J. Kenji López-Alt

December 9, 2024

This article is adapted from the December 7, 2024, edition of Gastro Obscura’s Favorite Things newsletter. You can sign up here. For many home cooks, The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji López-Alt carries a level of authority traditionally reserved for sacred texts. It’s less of a cookbook and more a crash course in culinary technique. It’s also an invitation to get creative. The 958-page tome, which came out in 2015, challenged a lot of……

Monster Rock in Ephrata, Washington

December 9, 2024

The repeated collapse of the ice dam holding back Glacial Lake Missoula, at the end of the last Ice Age, unleashed floods that were utterly disproportionate to the scale of the landscape, in the depth and speed of the water. (It’s been suggested it’s analogous to dumping a bucket of water onto a tabletop model.) The floods carved the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington, including the Grand Coulee. Dry Falls, which separates the upper and lower Grand Coulee, is……

MIT astronomers find the smallest asteroids ever...

December 9, 2024

The asteroid that extinguished the dinosaurs is estimated to have been about 10 kilometers across. That’s about as wide as Brooklyn, New York. Such a massive impactor is predicted to hit Earth rarely, once every 100 million to 500 million years. In contrast, much smaller asteroids, about the size of a bus, can strike Earth more frequently, every few years. These “decameter” asteroids, measuring just tens of meters across, are more likely to escape the main asteroid belt and……

Exploring the Lost Land Beneath the North...

This story was originally published at Hakai Magazine. It appears here under a Creative Commons license. The North Sea is a hard place to love. It’s not the cold, or the silty gray-brown waters that seem to suck the brightness out of the sky that make it unappealing, it’s what people have done to it over the centuries, transforming the North Sea into an industrialized seascape. Trade has made this sea—which washes against the United Kingdom to the west……

Hirosaki Castle in Hirosaki, Japan

December 9, 2024

Originally constructed in 1611 and rebuilt in 1810, Hirosaki Castle (also known as Tatsuoka Castle) is one of the 12 surviving feudal castles in Japan and the northernmost of them. Today, the castle park is famed for its cherry blossom views, but visitors often remark that the castle itself is smaller than they expected. The original castle’s main keep was lost in a fire after lightning struck it in 1627, but the Tokugawa shogunate did not allow the regional province……

Lara Trump will step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee as she considers a number of potential options with her father-in-law, President-elect Donald Trump, set to return to the White House. Among those possibilities is replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, whom Trump tapped to be the next secretary of state. If Rubio is confirmed, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will choose who takes the seat through the remainder of Rubio’s term, which expires in 2026. “It is something…

Notre Dame reopens its doors to Macron...

PARIS (AP) — France’s iconic Notre Dame Cathedral is formally reopening its doors on Saturday for the first time since a devastating fire nearly destroyed the 861-year-old landmark in 2019. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic political woes. Under the luminous…

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jacob Trouba is finally out of New York after months of public trade rumors and private threats from the Rangers, who were determined to get rid of their captain and his massive contract. Trouba was not pleased with the way he was run out of town, but he says he’s quite happy to land with the Anaheim Ducks. “It’s a rite of passage to get fired from MSG,” Trouba said Friday after the Ducks acquired…

So you want to build a solar...

December 6, 2024

Deciding where to build new solar or wind installations is often left up to individual developers or utilities, with limited overall coordination. But a new study shows that regional-level planning using fine-grained weather data, information about energy use, and energy system modeling can make a big difference in the design of such renewable power installations. This also leads to more efficient and economically viable operations. The findings show the benefits of coordinating the siting of solar farms, wind farms, and……

IAEA chief: Iran poised to ‘quite dramatically’...

| Entrepreneurship

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Iran stands poised to “quite dramatically” increase its stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium as it has started cascades of advanced centrifuges, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency warned Friday. The comments from Rafael Mariano Grossi came just hours after Iran said it conducted a successful space launch with its heaviest payload ever, the latest for its program that the West alleges improves Tehran’s ballistic missile program. The launch of the Simorgh rocket comes…

| Entrepreneurship

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — The European Union on Friday finalized a blockbuster free trade agreement with Brazil, Argentina and three other South American nations in the Mercosur trade alliance, a long-awaited breakthrough despite fierce opposition from France that caps a quarter-century of on-off negotiations. The accord would create a market of over 700 million people, nearly 25% of the world’s gross domestic product, and save businesses an estimated 4 billion euros ($4.26 billion) in duties each year. From Uruguay,…

A new biodegradable material to replace certain...

December 6, 2024

Microplastics are an environmental hazard found nearly everywhere on Earth, released by the breakdown of tires, clothing, and plastic packaging. Another significant source of microplastics is tiny beads that are added to some cleansers, cosmetics, and other beauty products. In an effort to cut off some of these microplastics at their source, MIT researchers have developed a class of biodegradable materials that could replace the plastic beads now used in beauty products. These polymers break down into harmless sugars……
