Inside the world’s deepest and longest subsea road tunnel

Inside the world’s deepest and longest subsea road tunnel

It’s cold, it’s very, very noisy, and—if I can be quite honest with you—I’m not feeling super relaxed. I’m currently around 300 meters, or 1,000 feet, beneath the North Sea, in a dark, dank cave. It smells weird. And I am increasingly aware of the pressure from millions of tons of seawater just...

The Download: a new hunt for dark matter and Kenya’s case for going solar

This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. The search for dark matter has been blown wide open For decades, physicists have hunted for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading...

Geoengineering still faces major practical challenges

Geoengineering still faces major practical challenges

Solar geoengineering is often portrayed as a sort of emergency brake. Something along the lines of Pull in case of climate emergency to scatter light-reflecting particles to bounce sunlight out of the atmosphere and cool the planet. But it might be less like a simple brake and more like a...

Hacking the atmosphere: Geoengineering gets a reality check

Jim Franke pulls away the cover page of a presentation on the wraparound desk in his office, revealing an illustration of an odd-­looking aircraft with massive wings stretching out from a stubby fuselage. The uncrewed plane is soaring thousands of meters higher than commercial jets fly—so high you...

RAMwavDroid - Et si on écoutait les malwares Android ?

Si vous faites un peu de reverse engineering sous Android, vous savez que les malwares modernes font absolument tout ce qu'ils peuvent pour planquer leurs mauvaises intentions, un peu comme vos parents toxiques... Code obfusqué, chargement dynamique, packing...etc, etc. Mais c'était sans compter...

These new solid-state ACs promise a cool future. Scientists aren’t so sure.

After three years of record-­breaking heat, this one is set to be yet another scorcher. Air-conditioning? Not going anywhere. The International Energy Agency projects that the number of AC units will triple by 2050. That’s good for health—one Lancet study estimated that AC prevented nearly 200,000...

You do your own time

There we were, a regular murderers’ row of librarians. Little Jo. Eustace. And me. Turning around in the nave of our library to greet the sound of footsteps, pistols leveled in case whoever was coming in didn’t respect sanctuary. Little Jo had a stack of books under one arm. Eustace was holding the...
