S3S4S5S6S7S8Taupo: The super volcano under New Zealand's largest lake  Located in the centre of New Zealand's North Island, the town of Taupo sits sublimely in the shadow of the snow-capped peaks of Tongariro National Park. Fittingly, this 40,000-person lakeside town has recently become one of New Zealand's most popular tourist destinations, as hikers, trout fishers, water sports enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies have started descending upon it.The namesake of this tidy town is the Singapore-sized lake that kisses its western border. Stretching 623sq km wide and 160m deep with several magma chambers submerged at its base, Lake Taupo isn't only New Zealand's largest lake; it's also an incredibly active geothermal hotspot. Every summer, tourists flock to bathe in its bubbling hot springs and sail through its emerald-green waters. Yet, the lake is the crater of a giant super volcano, and within its depths lies the unsettling history of this picturesque marvel.

S9Message sticks: Australia's ancient unwritten language  The continent of Australia is home to more than 250 spoken Indigenous languages and 800 dialects. Yet, one of its linguistic cornerstones wasn't spoken, but carved.Known as message sticks, these flat, rounded and oblong pieces of wood were etched with ornate images on both sides that conveyed important messages and held the stories of the continent's Aboriginal people – considered the world's oldest continuous living culture. Message sticks are believed to be thousands of years old and were typically carried by messengers over long distances to reinforce oral histories or deliver news between Aboriginal nations or language groups.

S10Did Australia's boomerangs pave the way for flight?  The aircraft is one of the most significant developments of modern society, enabling people, goods and ideas to fly around the world far more efficiently than ever before. The first successful piloted flight took off in 1903 in North Carolina, but a 10,000-year-old hunting tool likely developed by Aboriginal Australians may have held the key to its lift-off. As early aviators discovered, the secret to flight is balancing the flow of air. Therefore, an aircraft's wings, tail or propeller blades are often shaped in a specially designed, curved manner called an aerofoil that lifts the plane up and allows it to drag or turn to the side as it moves through the air.

S11How to Make Your Web Searches More Secure and Private  When it comes to looking something up on the web, most of us default to “googling” it—Google's search engine has become so dominant that it's now a verb, in the same way that Photoshop is. But using Google for your searches comes with a privacy trade-off.Google's business is, of course, based on advertising, and every search you make feeds into the profile of you that it uses to target the ads you see around the web. While Google isn't telling marketing firms what searches you're running, it is using those queries to build up a picture of you that ads can be sold against. As such, Google can be a real snoop about collecting all your data and using it to personalize your ads and the search results you get.

S13You Can Now Snag a Specialized Electric Bike for $2,000  I've tested a lot of electric bikes at a wide variety of price points, but I'm never more excited than when Specialized launches another new ride. We've tried everything from the company's first electric cargo bike (9/10, WIRED Recommends) to the electric mountain bike (8/10, WIRED Recommends) to a versatile gravel bike that can do it all (8/10, WIRED Recommends).On paper, Specialized's bikes might not look all that great. They don't have throttles, and several models, including the Turbo Tero, have relatively modest 250-W motors to uphold European safety standards. However, it's very obvious when you're riding a bike that was designed by a bike company instead of a startup. The geometry is more comfortable, the components are purpose-driven rather than to check items off a list of specs, and the computer and sensors are calibrated incredibly well. Specialized bikes just feel comfortable and natural to ride. Instead of pushing a button to gun your electric motorcycle, you just feel like you have much more powerful legs than you realized. The Tero even conditions you to up your cadence, like a real cyclist.

S21The French have lost their minds over bed bugs  In October, the French collectively freaked out over bed bugs. Social media erupted with supposed pictures of the parasites in cinemas, trains, and subways. Pest control agencies, exterminators, and owners of bed bug-sniffing dogs were inundated with panicked calls. Politicians breathlessly demanded rapid government action. Of Paris, uncritical media reports declared that the “entire city is infested with bed bugs.”The thing is, it doesn’t appear that the country’s bed bug “problem” warranted such a swift and sudden panic, which seemed to have started with a few social media posts that went viral. The insects’ population didn’t erupt overnight. Instead, the French were likely gripped by a social panic.

S22World's oldest pyramid found not in Egypt or Americas, but in Indonesia  In the world of ancient pyramids, it seems like there’s always a race to the past. Are the oldest ones in Egypt? Peru? It’s been up for debate since about 2001. But now, there’s a new contender in the historic who’s-who of pyramids: Indonesia.A team of archaeologists, geologists, and geophysicists recently published a new paper in Archaeological Prospection in October 2023, suggesting that Gunung Padang in the Cianjur District of the West Java Province is not actually the naturally occurring hill that everyone thought it was. Instead, they say it’s actually an ancient man-made structure. Previously, Gunung Padang referred only to the megalithic stone complex that sat on top of the hill, which some archaeologists believe was used as a celestial calendar (though the actual use is still unknown). But the team’s research shows that the entire structure—complex and hill itself—was sculpted by humans beginning around 8,000 or even 25,000 years ago.

S23One dose CRISPR therapy cuts cholesterol by up to 55%  The first-in-humans trial of a CRISPR-based cholesterol treatment has delivered promising results, with one participant in the small study experiencing a 55% reduction in their cholesterol levels. However, the company will need to show that the treatment is safe, after concerning safety data.The world’s top killer: Cholesterol is a waxy substance made by our livers and found in certain foods. It comes in two forms, HDL and LDL, and while having high levels of HDL cholesterol in your blood appears beneficial, high levels of LDL cholesterol will eventually block your arteries, leading to cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

S27This Is Your Pilot Speaking  In May 2022, an air-traffic controller in Florida received a frantic call. The pilot of a single-engine Cessna 208 had collapsed, leaving the sole passenger—with no experience at all flying a plane—to fend for himself in the cockpit. Remarkably, the controller was able to direct the passenger to take the controls, reach an airport, and safely land.The story went viral for several days, perhaps in part because we can all imagine ourselves in that nightmare come true. Could we figure out what to do? Would we live to tell the tale? In the past, I would have asked myself those same questions. But this time, I had answers, and knew I was up to the challenge of landing a plane. At age 52, I had just earned my pilot’s license.

S28It Will Never Be a Good Time to Buy a House  Earlier this year, I moved from San Francisco to New York with my dogs, kids, and husband. My family rented an apartment. And once we figured out that we liked it here and wanted to stay, we looked to buy a place.For roughly 11 minutes, before realizing that literally any other activity would be a better use of our time. Brooklyn has 1.1 million housing units. Just a dozen of them seemed to fit our requirements and were sitting on the market. All of the options were too expensive. And that was before factoring in the obscene cost of a mortgage.

S31S32Gohona bori: India's heritage edible ornament  Jyotsna Maity fixed the large, circular brass plate with a meditative gaze. A bed of poppy seeds was neatly and evenly spread over the dish. She began to slowly extrude the lentil batter through the piped cloth bag she had in her right hand, holding it perpendicularly over the platter. Her nimble wrist delicately twisted and turned to form concentric circles, decorative curls and miniscule triangles with the gooey paste. With a sharp, controlled jerk of her hand, she completed the design that now resembled a dainty designer necklace.Maity was the head of the squad of women similarly occupied on the spacious terrace: their heads bent over brass plates and hands busy to create a culinary artform, the tricks of which have been handed down to them orally through generations.

S33Barbie, Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon: The 20 best films of 2023  The numbers in this list do not represent ranking, but are intended to make the separate entries as clear as possible.This tough-minded, heart-breaking drama about race, class and motherhood was France's entry to last year's Oscar race, and I'm still mystified as to why it wasn't nominated. Alice Diop puts her experience making documentaries to good use, as she bases her story on the real-life case of a young Senegalese woman in France charged with abandoning her baby on a beach to die. Diop invents Rama, a pregnant novelist who goes to the town of Saint Omer to witness the trial, which plays into her own doubts and fears. As Laurence, the mother on trial, Guslagie Malanda is unnaturally calm, almost frozen in resignation. Kayije Kagame as Rama lets you see her mind racing and her heart pounding as she watches, even though her face is impassive. Diop based her dialogue on court transcripts, but the results go far beyond dry facts on the page to create an enthralling film with two profound and vivid women on screen. (CJ)

S34Look to the mainstream to explain the rise of the far right  Javier Milei in Argentina. Geert Wilders in the Netherlands. These are the two latest “populist shocks” – the tip of the “populist wave” that comes crashing against the weakened defences of liberal democracies. At the same time, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage benefits from the same “funwashing” on I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here! as Pauline Hanson, leader of the most successful extreme right party in Australia in recent years, did when she was invited on Dancing with the Stars just a moment after her political career plummeted.

S35S36Climate adaptation funds are not reaching frontline communities: what needs to be done about it  Communities around the world face increasingly severe and frequent impacts from climate change. They are on the “frontlines” of droughts, flooding, desertification and sea level rise. International climate finance is supposed to help. In the 2015 Paris Agreement, the world’s wealthiest countries pledged US$50 billion annually to support climate adaptation among those “particularly vulnerable” to climate change. Climate adaptation is the adjustments humans make to reduce exposure to climate risk.

S37S38Should People Have the Right to Say Awful Things Without Facing Legal Consequences?  Terrible times breed terrible words, and words have consequences—especially when what you say can be recorded and broadcast. Yet society cannot agree, perhaps more so now, on which views are acceptable and what the consequences should be for a person expressing them.Last week, Stuart Seldowitz, a former State Department official, was arrested and charged with a hate crime after videos of him delivering a series of bigoted rants against Mohamed Hussein, a twenty-four-year-old Manhattan street-cart vender, went viral. In these, Seldowitz called Hussein a terrorist, insulted his Muslim faith, and said, with a hysterical crack in his voice, “If we killed four thousand Palestinian children, you know what—it wasn’t enough.” Hussein, for his part, repeatedly asked Seldowitz to leave him alone.

S39Why Trump's Trials Should Be on TV  On November 6th, Donald Trump emerged from a New York City courtroom, where he had testified in a civil trial alleging that he and others in the Trump Organization had committed fraud, and gave himself a great review. "I think it went very well," he told reporters. "If you were there, and you listened, you'd see what a scam this is." He meant that the case was a scam and not that his company was. "Everybody saw what happened today," he went on. "And it was very conclusive."In truth, everybody didn't see; the courtroom could seat just a few dozen spectators. There were two overflow rooms, but the closed-circuit feed shown in them went no fartherâthe trial was not televised. Afterward, New York's attorney general, Letitia James, who was present, said that Trump had hardly put the matter to rest: "he rambled and he hurled insults." There was a transcript, but, to assess Trump's demeanor and tone, members of the public had to rely on the small number of peopleâjournalists and lawyers, mostlyâwho witnessed them. And those reports differed, depending on, say, whether one watched MSNBC or Fox News.

S41The Longest Running Sci-Fi Series is Finally Streaming for Free  “Lost media” is becoming a more and more prevalent term as streaming services wipe entire series from existence, making them completely impossible to watch, even for digital purchase. But the concept is not new at all. Now, there’s an expectation that whatever show you want to catch up on is at your fingertips. But before the internet, you were limited to reruns. There’s no greater example of this than Doctor Who, the longest-running sci-fi series in TV history. The show has been running for 60 years, and yet there are countless fans who haven’t even seen all the episodes that still exist. However, that’s all changing now.

S42Happy 10th anniversary to one of Nintendo's best Mario titles.  Few things in life are better than being right. Whether we’re talking sports scores, trivia or bitcoin, the pure dopamine hit of being absolutely correct is an unparalleled experience. The problem is that sometimes you can be right and not know it. Hindsight is only 20/20 when enough time has passed to bring things into focus. And for Nintendo, only with the 10-year anniversary of one of its most acclaimed games do we now know that it got a lot of things right.Super Mario 3D World launched on Wii U on November 21, 2013. As you’d expect, the reviews were glowing. It’s a flawless Mario game that ticks all the boxes: Great levels, approachable difficulty, and more. There’s always a lot to love about Mario. Still, it was impossible to know at launch what we know now — Super Mario 3D World was a trendsetter.

S43Hollywood's Top Directors Keep Making the Same Mistake -- Here's the Solution  In 2005, Dan Gardner watched Peter Jackson’s King Kong (runtime: 201 min) in theaters and had a major problem: he had to pee, but didn’t want to miss any crucial moments from the giant ape. That inspired him to create RunPee, an app that informs those with needy bladders when to take a break without missing any integral plot points that would leave a viewer relieved, but confused. Looking back on cinematic history and even modern-day movies from outside the U.S., there’s a clear answer to long movie bladder fatigue: the intermission. And with movies only getting longer, it’s obvious why they should be brought back into vogue.

S44S4554 Years Later, The Oldest TV Sci-Fi Hero Just Got A Massive Tech Upgrade  The Jedi have lightsabers. Members of Starfleet have phasers, preferably set to stun. But if you’re a lonely Time Lord from the planet of Gallifrey, you have ... a screwdriver. First introduced way back in 1964 for the 2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton), the most beloved handheld sci-fi gizmo in all Doctor Who is easily the sonic screwdriver. While not all Doctors have consistently rocked this Swiss army knife of time and space, having a new sonic with a new Doctor has become something of a staple of the contemporary era, starting in 2005 with the 9th Doctor (Christopher Eccleston). Now, five incarnations and roughly four screwdriver designs later, the 14th Doctor (David Tennant) has a new sonic screwdriver. But, as revealed in “The Star Beast,” this new sonic seems to be able to do way more than previous versions could. The Doctor may have regenerated back into one of their old faces, and the sonic might seem superficially similar, but its functions are way more powerful than ever.

S47'Rick and Morty' Trailer Reveals Summer's Secret Deal With Rick  Rick and Morty delivered its seasonal clip show earlier than usual last week with “Rickfending Your Mort,” in which the title duo winds up on trial after accidentally murdering an all-seeing sentient rock (and also for repeating their own adventures in a bit of classic meta-commentary). It made for a fun-loving and chaotic diversion after the seriousness of confronting Rick Prime the week before.

S48The Most-Anticipated Sci-Fi Episode of the Year Just Took a Powerful Stance on an Important Topic  On its 60th anniversary, this British institution made up for lost time and addressed an obvious influence.With long-running TV shows, there’s always a moment when it has to be acknowledged that the world we live in has evolved faster than the world within fiction. Apu in The Simpsons has been recast, Mac from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has come out as gay instead of just being the punchline to gay jokes, and even Jeff Probst’s Survivor catchphrase of “come on in, guys” has been shortened to not be deemed sexist.

S49When People Assume You're Not In Charge Because You're a Woman  Role incredulity is a form of gender bias where women are mistakenly assumed to be in a support or stereotypically female role — an administrative assistant, nurse, wife, or girlfriend, for instance — rather than a leadership or stereotypically male role, such as CEO, professor, lawyer, doctor, or engineer. While this slight or mistake might seem innocuous, it can have real ramifications for women. Women must expend extra energy and time to assert and prove their role. Their words may lack the credibility and authority inherent in their position. And when women are not seen as a leader, they may be less likely to be hired into male-dominated roles or to be considered for promotions.

S50You're Not Powerless in the Face of Imposter Syndrome  Research shows that high achievers from underrepresented backgrounds often find themselves confronting imposter syndrome or feeling they don’t fit in, are not welcome, or don’t belong. But understanding imposter syndrome does little to end it. The author, who studied underrepresented board members for his PhD and who interacts with hundreds of aspiring and existing board directors in his role at an executive search firm, has found that attributes of moxie — strength of will, self-discipline, and the ability to persist despite challenges — were vital to underrepresented directors’ success. He recommends four tactics to help make moxie your own super power.

S51How to Keep Working When You're Just Not Feeling It  Motivating yourself is one of the main things that sets high achievers apart, and it’s hard. How do you keep pushing onward when your heart isn’t in it? In her research, Fishbach has identified some simple tactics: Set goals that are intrinsically rewarding, and make them very specific. If a task isn’t satisfying, focus on aspects of it that are or combine it with pleasant activities. Reward yourself in the right way for getting things done. To avoid slumps, break objectives into subgoals; look at how much you’ve accomplished until you’re halfway there; and then count down what you have left to do. And use social influence: Let high performers inspire you, boost your get-up-and-go by giving advice, and keep the people you want to succeed for front of mind.

Of the thousands of kids' and teens' books reviewed in a 2022 analysis, about 45 percent had a nonwhite author, illustrator or compiler, up from 8 percent in 2014. “There are just so many more choices of books [reflecting] the multifaceted complexity of individual lives,” says Tessa Michaelson Schmidt, director of the Cooperative Children's Book Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
