I am not normally an Electronic Device Evangelist. While I’ll wax eloquent about a comic or a game, you won’t find me going on about my new iPad or whatever. But when someone casually mentions that they’re thinking about getting an e-reader and they’re not sure what kind, I burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man to ask if they’ve welcomed the gospel of Kobo into their hearts.

A team of oceanographers discovered a massive undersea mountain off the coast of Chile that is taller than Greece’s iconic Mount Olympus and home to scores of rare sea creatures. 

Researchers from the Schmidt Ocean Institute of California filmed the never-before-seen seamount, which stretches 1.9 miles towards the surface from the Pacific Ocean floor and features a thriving ecosystem, according to the organization.

Located about 900 miles from South America, the unnamed peak was found by the team on their 28-day expedition on the R/V Falkor vessel, which mapped part of the sea floor with its sonar system beneath the hull.

Astronomers have spotted something unexpected zooming through our galaxy and it is really shifting. First picked up by a coalition of citizen-scientists with NASA's 'Backyard Worlds: Planet 9' project, the enormous object - which is 27,306 times the size of Earth - was situated around 400 light years away at the time of its detection while traveling at an incredible one million miles per hour.

There’s a mysterious object speeding round our galaxy, and it’s going so fast it could soon escape its gravity and jump right through into outer space. The object in question, catchily named CWISE J124909.08+362116.0, is travelling at a mind-boggling 1.3 million miles an hour, or 600 kilometers a second. Experts first came across the object after noticing it was moving at 0.1 per cent of the speed of light, which as you’d expect is abnormally fast. So what exactly is it? Well, if researchers are correct, CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 is a low-mass star – and the first one ever classified as...

As I walk to the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, a line of people wraps around several city blocks, many wearing merch with blown-up fan art of anime girls. I enter the stately theater, with its ornate gilded plasterwork and luxurious stage draperies, and find my chair. A concertgoer holds up an Austrian flag with the orange-haired VTuber Takanashi Kiara printed on it. The crowd breaks into a thunderous roar, with people waving glowing orange light sticks in the air and chanting: “Kiara! Kiara! Kiara!”

I went to a Hololive concert and now I’m convinced VTubers can do anything

Twenty years ago on an Indonesian island, scientists discovered fossils of an early human species that stood at about 3 1/2 feet tall, earning them the nickname "hobbits."Now a new study suggests ancestors of the hobbits were even slightly shorter."We did not expect that we would find smaller individuals from such an old site," said Yousuke Kaifu, co-author of the study, which was published on Tuesday in the journal Nature. The original hobbit fossils date back to between 60,000 and 100,000 years ago. The new fossils were excavated at a site called Mata Menge, about 45 miles from the cave where...
