As the production window approaches for what’s described as “the world’s most efficient EV pickup,” California-based startup Telo has formed a partnership with storied solar electric car maker Aptera. The latter will supply its photovoltaic cells for optional solar paneling for the upcoming compact electric truck.”Our unique curved solar cell design makes it the perfect application to propel automotive utility further than ever before,” said Aptera co-founder and co-CEO, Steve Fambro. “Together with Telo, we’re harnessing the power of the sun to make life off the grid a reality for everyone by putting the sun to work for them.”The Telo…

Howard Buten, a college dropout from Detroit, juggled three extraordinary lives.In one, he was a tender, clumsy and wordless red-nosed clown named Buffo. He sold out theaters around the world. Critics compared him to Charlie Chaplin and Harpo Marx.In another, he volunteered as an aide with autistic children, went back to school to earn a doctorate in psychology, helped pioneer a therapy for autism and opened a treatment center.He squeezed in a third life as a novelist. “Burt,” written in the voice of a disturbed 8-year-old boy, flopped in the United States but implausibly achieved “Catcher in the Rye” status…

We all know that a healthy, balanced diet dominated by unprocessed foods is a recipe for gut and overall health, but scientists have now found just how one nutrient – fiber – can trigger a microbiotic chain reaction that actually shields the body from influenza and other viruses.While the researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) advise against giving up your annual flu shot, natural fiber from the likes of vegetables, pulses and grains will act like a ‘booster’ to ward off infection and limit symptoms if you do manage to get hit with the bug.Natural fiber encourages…

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday banned the use of Red Dye No. 3 in food, beverages and drugs, more than three decades after the synthetic coloring was first found to cause cancer in male laboratory rats.The dye, a petroleum-based additive, has been used to give candy, soda and other products their vibrant cherry red hue. Consumer advocates said the F.D.A.’s decision to revoke the authorization was long overdue, given the agency’s decision in 1990 to ban the chemical for use in cosmetics and topical drugs.Under federal rules, the F.D.A. is prohibited from approving food additives that cause cancer…

This is not your grandad’s cable car gondola. Born of an amusement ride and opening to the public in 2026, this remarkably clever kiwi idea offers quick, cheap, on-demand urban transit – that’s much more direct and private than public transport.It looks a lot like a big urban gondola system – but Whoosh’s as-yet-unnamed autonomous transport pod system is much more interesting. Gondolas are fixed to their cables, which are pulled in long loops; the Whoosh pods have their own motors and autonomous route-switching systems on board, and are free to navigate their way from point to point across a…

The number of Americans receiving psychotherapy increased by 30 percent during the pandemic, as virtual sessions replaced in-person appointments — but new research dampens the hope that technology will make mental health care more available to the neediest populations.In fact, the researchers found, the shift to teletherapy has exacerbated existing disparities.The increase in psychotherapy has occurred among groups that already enjoyed more access: people in higher-income brackets, living in cities, with steady employment and more education, researchers found in a series of studies, the most recent of which was, published Wednesday in The American Journal of Psychiatry.Among those who have…

Is obesity a disease or a risk factor for disease? In medical circles – and outside of them – the question is contentious, with supporters on either side. In a newly published report, the Global Commission on Clinical Obesity has strived to settle the debate, introducing a new framework that redefines obesity.“The question of whether obesity is a disease is flawed because it presumes an implausible all-or-nothing scenario where obesity is either always a disease or never a disease,” said Professor Francesco Rubino, Commission Chair, Chair of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery at King’s College London. “Evidence, however, shows a more…

Several times a year, when the kids grow or the seasons change (as they inevitably do), I climb into the dark abyss of our attic to find the next sizes of clothes for their capsule wardrobes. Two hours later they all have neatly organized, new (hand-me-down) wardrobes and I’m sneezing like crazy. Those days remind me of my one remaining allergy — dust. And it’s a doozy! I can power through childbirth no problem (I’ve had enough practice). I can also push through a 20-mile hike, but dust reduces me to a sneezing pile of grumpiness. Bieler’s Vegetable Broth to…

Estonian daredevil Jaan Roose offers us a bird’s eye view of Dubai with his latest death-defying stunt: a 330-ft stroll between two of its skyscrapers with a 700-ft drop beneath him.The trendy younger sibling to tightrope walking, Slacklining involves brave types crossing a flat band suspended between two points.
