Why M&S’s new Love That capsule could be your smartest summer investment

Why M&S’s new Love That capsule could be your smartest summer investment

Published by Daniella Wilson

Everybody wants to feel good in their clothes, and come summertime – with more skin on show and fashion that naturally lends itself to form-fitting pieces – the confidence your outfit inspires is invaluable. We’re not talking about an overt, ‘look-at-me’ kind of confidence, either. The confidence of a well-curated summer wardrobe is something quieter, and it means you don’t have to think too hard about what you put on that morning. Achieving that balance, however, is rarely accidental. It relies on pieces that feel instinctive to wear, but still hold enough interest to elevate the everyday. Too minimal, and things can fall flat. On the flip side: too detailed, and suddenly the effort shows. M&S’s all-new Love That summer drop sits somewhere in the middle. Consider it your wear-now capsule for the warmer months, filled with softened silhouettes, tonal palettes and delicate detailing. All, as you’d expect from the high-street stalwart, grounded in British practicality. Refreshingly, this collection won’t leave your bank account balking, with over half the collection priced at £30 or less. …

It’s been 250 years since the United States decided it was no longer interested in being part of Great Britain. To celebrate the momentous anniversary—called a semiquincentennial—the non-profit America250 has numerous events planned including something quite timely.  A roughly 2,000-pound time capsule will be buried at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park on July 4, 2026. The capsule is intended to safeguard a snapshot of America today for another 250 years. While the process of burying random items underground for a few centuries might sound simple, designing and fabricating a storage container to withstand whatever nature might throw at it for the next 25 decades is quite the feat.  The team includes engineers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and preservation experts at the Library of Congress, who are coordinating with the National Park Service for the event in the nation’s first capital. NIST also designed and built the protective display cases that hold an original copy …

Political correctness had “gone mad”, so it was said, and the cutting edge of comedy was a battleground for the busting of new taboos. Gen-Xers, weaned on the ironic, pop-culture-literature nectar of The Simpsons, were making their own stabs at transgression. It was an era that gave us Family Guy, South Park, and, on stage, Avenue Q, a musical that dared to ask the all-important question: what if the puppets in Sesame Street were all professionally listless, sexually active young adults? Audiences, cynical and pop-culturally savvy themselves, ate it up. Avenue Q beat fledgling box office behemoth Wicked to the big Tony Award win that year, a victory for the snarky contrarian. But that was then, and this is now. Twenty-three years have passed since Avenue Q premiered (in its initial incarnation, off-Broadway), …

MIT scientists create pill capsule sensor to help doctors track missed doses

MIT scientists create pill capsule sensor to help doctors track missed doses

Published by Jenni Sidey

Missing a dose can feel small in the moment. But in transplant care, HIV, tuberculosis, and many heart conditions, a skipped pill can carry a heavy price. That gap between what a doctor prescribes and what a patient actually takes has long frustrated clinicians and families. Now MIT engineers say they have built a pill that can confirm, within minutes, that it was swallowed, then largely dissolves in the stomach. The new system is designed to fit inside existing pill capsules. It relies on radio frequency, a signal type that can be detected from outside the body and is considered safe for humans. The capsule stays quiet before you swallow it. After ingestion, it sends a confirmation signal. Most of its parts then break down in the stomach, while a tiny radio frequency chip passes through the digestive tract and exits the body. “The goal is to make sure that this helps people receive the therapy they need to help maximize their health,” said Giovanni Traverso, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, a …
