I’ve shared my recipes for homemade herb and spice blends before, and one of my favorites is homemade pumpkin pie spice. It’s simple to make and an easy way to make sure there are fresh spices (and only that) in your blend. You can also adjust the recipe based on your family’s tastes and the way you like to use it. Pumpkin pie spice is a delicious blend of warming spices that reminds me of the autumn season. Think curled up in the living room with a soft lamp, a good book, and a pumpkin spice latte. Even if PSL…

We’ve seen robot dogs run up hills with luggage, and help fight fires. Now, researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich are putting these mechanical mutts through their paces on the badminton court, teaching them to play about as well as a seven-year-old human.The engineers’ new control system for the institute’s four-legged ANYmal robot uses two cameras to track the shuttlecock as it moves through the air, predicts its flight trajectory, and then navigates the quadruped to the optimal position in its space to return the shot using a racket mounted to a multi-axis arm. Watch ANYmal in action in the clip…

Several feet below city streets around the world lurks a dangerous and unspeakably gross threat to our way of life: fatbergs.These are giant concrete-like clusters of cooking oil, grease, nappies, wet wipes and such that congeal into masses in our sewers, clogging networks. They’re not only hard to break up, but can also grow to immense proportions. In 2017, London saw a monstrous fatberg grow to a length of 820 ft (250 m) and reach 130 tons (118 tonnes) – about the same as two Airbus A318 planes.Clearing these blockages before they cause sewage backups in our streets requires constant…

In the first large-scale real-world study of its kind, researchers have found that caffeine isn’t just a stimulant but can significantly improve mood under certain conditions – especially in the morning.In an international study led by Germany’s Bielefeld University, researchers investigated the real-world impact of caffeine – in the form of coffee – on emotions.

When Nissan first introduced the LEAF in 2011, many saw it as a fairly straightforward, compact hatchback aimed at early electric vehicle (EV) adopters. This year it evolved into a crossover SUV, and now we know when the third-generation model is coming.With a starting MSRP of under US$30,000, the 2026 LEAF has “the lowest starting MSRP for any new EV currently on sale in the US,” per Nissan. But perhaps what’s even more interesting is that it’s somehow become less expensive than the $32,780 2011 LEAF.But more than just the ticket price, the 2026 model also marks the start of…
