The use of the word “quantum” has become rather hackneyed. There are quantum computers, quantum sensors, and even quantum refrigerators; the list is endless. I mean, what’s next—quantum washing machines? If all the quantum spam has left you exhausted, Paul Davies’s new book, Quantum 2.0: The Weird Physics Driving a New Revolution in Technology, might help. Yes, the title has the q-word, but for the best possible reason. Starting with a brief rundown of what “quantum” actually means, the book lays out in plain language how quantum mechanics changed science in the past century—and how it will continue to do…

While my love of smoked meats is well-documented, my own journey into actually tending the fire started just last spring when I jumped at the opportunity to review the Traeger Woodridge Pro. When Recteq came calling with a similar offer to check out the Flagship 1600, I figured it would be a good way to stay warm all winter.While the two smokers have a lot in common, the Recteq definitely feels like an upgrade from the Traeger I’ve been using. Not only does it have nearly twice the cooking space, but the huge pellet hopper, rounded barrel, and proper smokestack…

What does “feel-good food” mean? It depends on whom you ask. That’s why each month our Feel-Good Food Plan—with delicious recipes and a few wild cards—is hosted by someone new. This month Aran Goyoaga shares her journey back to bread.I was raised in my grandparents’ pastry shop in Spain, among sacks of flour and the hum of mixers. It was there that I was trained to trust in the power of gluten. Elastic and reliable wheat flour was the foundation of nearly everything they created. It was the basis of our family’s livelihood and how we cared for our community.…

Google will finally be able to provide real-time driving and walking directions in South Korea, The New York Times reported. The company has received permission from the nation’s Transport Ministry to export geographic data out of the country, which will allow it to provide GPS services as well as detailed listings for restaurants and other businesses.”We welcome today’s decision and look forward to our ongoing collaboration with local officials to bring a fully functioning Google Maps to Korea,” Google’s senior executive Cris Turner told the NYT in a statement.

If there’s one thing that stops people using their smart rings over the long term, it’s the battery life. After all, they’re so unobtrusive, it’s easy to forget to drop it on the charging plate every few days. It doesn’t take long for your pricey gadget to become little more than a very expensive piece of jewelry. It’s one of many maladies Ultrahuman is looking to address with the advent of its new Pro, a smart ring boasting up to 15 days of battery life. It even ships with a fancy battery case, which itself includes enough power to last…

For his sophomore outing at Fondazione Sozzani, Francesco Murano detoured into androgyny, drawing on the sleek Art Deco glamour of Tamara de Lempicka. Openly bisexual, de Lempicka rose within an almost entirely male artistic milieu with a strikingly modern style; her subjects were enigmatic, poised between masculine and feminine archetypes.Murano conceived the lineup as a gallery of portraits, where his enduring fascination with Greek classicism met his signature sensual bias cuts. Bodies were swathed in languid silk-jersey drapes recalling the sculptural sensuality of Madame Grès and Madeleine Vionnet. “What captivated me most was de Lempicka’s treatment of Art Deco glamour,”…

If you print more than the average person, you may want to consider ditching traditional ink printers for a laser printer at home. Laser printers have a few advantages over inkjet printers, the biggest of which is speed. Because there’s no ink to dry, laser printers generally print much faster. They also tend to be more cost effective, with toner cartridges costing more than ink cartridges up front, but printing more pages, although I’ve generally found ink tank printers even more economical if that’s your main concern.The biggest downside to laser printers is typically a lower level of detail, particularly…
