On board the ARC Simon Bolivar (Antártida) (AFP) - In freezing Antarctic waters, amid bobbing chunks of floating ice, the hums, pitches and echoes of life in the deep are helping scientists understand the behavior and movements of marine mammals. "There are species which make impressive sounds, literally like Star Wars, they sound like spaceships," said Colombian scientist Andrea Bonilla, who is carrying out research with underwater microphones off Antarctica's coast. The biologist from Cornell University in New York submerges a hydrophone covered in titanium and attached to a buoy, into the f...

Houston (AFP) - Eager scientists and a gleaming lab awaits. A sample from the asteroid Bennu, which could be key to understanding the formation of the solar system and our own planet, is set to be analyzed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston after it reaches Earth in late September.

Succession at the mega company has been in the headlines in recent weeks with the announcement of the departure of Sheryl Sandberg after 14 years as the firm's number two. But while the founders of companies like Amazon, Twitter and Google have all moved on, Zuckerberg has shown no sign of giving up the reins -- despite raging criticism over privacy sca...

New York (AFP) - Rebecca Minkoff is one of few designers to present her collection at New York's Fashion Week in person -- but she's also betting on the power of streaming, using innovative technology to immerse online viewers in her work. Just like at last fall's edition of Fashion Week, this spring's collections will be presented almost exclusively online due to the Covid-19 pandemic -- and many of the major designers have opted out altogether. The exceptions include Jason Wu, who held a show for 25 people on Sunday, and Minkoff, who invited 100 people to a studio in Soho to view her latest ...
