A recent example was published in 2025 by researchers at the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility near Hamburg, among other institutions. They cooled iodopyridine, an organic molecule consisting of 11 atoms, almost to absolute zero and hammered it with a laser pulse to break its atomic bonds. The team found that the motions of the freed atoms were correlated, indicating that, despite its chilled state, the iodopyridine molecule had been vibrating. “That was not initially the main goal of the experiment,” said Rebecca Boll, an experimental physicist at the facility. “It’s basically something that we found.”Perhaps the best-known effect of…

It must have been the gloves. “If Patrick Bateman were a girl,” is the phrase that popped into my head while watching Zane Li’s fall show—despite knowing that the banker-by-day was not the serial killer the designer had in mind. Rather, Under the Skin, a 2013 sci-fi thriller, in which the bad guy is a fur-wearing extraterrestrial woman, was the designer’s reference.The only unsettling thing about this collection is how immensely talented Li is at just 25-years-old (he is a 2026 LVMH Prize semifinalist.) It’s essentialism that makes this designer a wunderkind. As the world that we have known slowly…

Something strange happened at University of California campuses this fall. For the first time since the dot-com crash, computer science enrollment dropped. System-wide, it fell 6% this year after declining 3% in 2024, according to reporting this past week by the San Francisco Chronicle. Even as overall college enrollment climbed 2% nationally — according to January data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center — students are bailing on traditional CS degrees. The one exception is UC San Diego — the only UC campus that added a dedicated AI major this fall. This all might look like a temporary blip…

Those three companies, plus Discord, have received “hundreds” of such requests that have come from DHS recently. Meta, it should be noted, is the parent company of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Administrative subpoenas used for this purpose represent an escalation. This tool, which…

Since his label’s inception, the designer has doubled down on raucous party wear—offering his women proactive pieces that are unapologetic, never afraid to show skin, and always ready to hit the town in. But can Smith do smart, sophisticated clothes too? This season, he was set on proving that he sure can. “I wanted to take elements of what I’m known for—keeping it unapologetically sexy—but with a level of refinement,” he said.That’s not to say the designer…
