No matter what, you do not want to find yourself near a neutron star.
These stellar beasts, made mostly of neutrons, are basically ultra-dense cosmic corpses roaming around space and, with incomprehensibly strong gravitational fields, torturing everything in their paths.
Ikea is adding to its smart home offerings with a tabletop air quality sensor that can detect particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers.
Vindstryka, Swedish for "wind force," can also monitor gaseous pollutants and changes in temperature and humidity. It will be available in April 2023 and will be compatible with Matter, the industry standard for smart home devices.
A single footprint can tell a story. A long time ago in the Jurassic era, around 166 million years ago, a jumbo meat-eating dinosaur strolled across what is now modern-day Yorkshire in England. At one point, it perhaps squatted down and then stood back up, leaving behind a truly epic footprint.
A team of researchers published a paper on the footprint in the Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society on Thursday. The three-toed print measures in at 31 inches (80 centimeters) long. It's the largest of its kind ever found in Yorkshire. The owner of the foot was a carnivorous theropod, of which T. rex is a famous example.

Hogwarts Legacy is here, its arrival surrounded by more brutal blasts of discourse than there are bursts of Bat-Bogey Hexes flying around the Slytherin Common Room. The conversation around the open-world action adventure game which seeks to provide players with the immersive fantasy of actually attending the storied school of magic from the Harry Potter universe, largely stems from the fact that the universes creator, J.K. Rowling, is a virulent transphobe, using the platform afforded her by her fame and wealth to normalize the othering of trans people and contributing prominently to a culture in which anti-trans sentiment, legislation, and violence, are on the rise.
However, the conversation doesnt start and end there. As game sites and critics have struggled to navigate how to cover the game, conflicting ideas about the very nature and role of criticism have also been conjured and flung about.

Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin und der belarussische Staatschef Alexander Lukaschenko haben in Moskau über die Zusammenarbeit beider Länder in Wirtschafts- und Sicherheitsfragen gesprochen. Dabei unterstrich Lukaschenko nach russischen Agenturberichten die technologische Kooperation der zwei verbündeten, aber international isolierten Nachbarstaaten. Sie lasse die Sanktionen ins Leere laufen, die wegen des russischen Angriffs auf die Ukraine verhängt worden sind, behauptete er.
Die Länder des Westens hätten Russland und Belarus nicht um ihr Potenzial in der Computertechnologie gebracht, sagte Lukaschenko bei dem Treffen in Putins Residenz Nowo-Ogarjowo. Auch produziere Belarus jetzt schon etwa 1.000 Bauteile für die zivilen russischen Flugzeuge MS-21 und Suchoi Superjet. Sein Land sei mit etwas russischer Hilfe auch in der Lage, Erdkampfflugzeuge herzustellen, sagte Lukaschenko. Solche Maschinen dienen der Unterstützung eigener Infanterie-Einheiten und können gegnerische Ziele am Boden angreifen.
