We work with ambitious teams building interesting things. If it doesn’t clash with our ethics and you respect our time, we’re in. Design Our previous site was no longer working for us.

Tantalizing evidence hints that dark energy might be evolving, leading some cosmologists to suggest that our universe will collapse in a “Big Crunch” sooner than expected.Over the past year, massive surveys of galaxies by both the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) have revealed that dark energy — the mysterious force that’s accelerating the expansion of the universe — might be changing with time. If this observation holds, it would be a paradigm-shifting result because it would mean our simplest model of dark energy, called the cosmological constant, is wrong.With this new result, there is…

Amid all the deserved acclaim for Garry Ringrose’s honesty about suffering concussion symptoms, a Lions selection gamble was partially hidden, but it was a shock all the same.As word began to circulate in the morning here that both Scotland centres, Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones, were being left out and replaced by their Irish counterparts, there was a mood of incredulity and disbelief. Why? It had worked a treat. Tuipulotu scored a try in Brisbane, Jones so nearly scored one of his own and he helped create another. They dovetailed beautifully with compatriot Finn Russell, as usual. Their performances helped the…

After hitting above $3,800, the Ethereum price seems well on track for the next phase of the cycle. The ongoing trend has been closely mirroring what was seen back in 2016-2017 before the surge that sent the altcoin’s price to new all-time highs. This remains a major deal given that if the trend does play out similarly to what was seen in the 2017 cycle, then it means that the Ethereum price rally is only just beginning. Ethereum Price Mirrors Bullish 2017 Back in 2017, before the bull market, the Ethereum price had struggled to stay on track with the…

Technological advancements have brought us many things. For paleontologists, it’s introduced the ability to probe softer material—skin, feathers, scales, and hair—found on fossilized creatures. And that’s resulting in some strange new findings about long-extinct animals, showing us that they’re even weirder than we imagined. A paper published today in Nature offers a re-analysis of a fossilized Mirasaura grauvogeli, a 247-million-year-old reptile whose defining feature is a feather-like structure jutting out from its back. The popular conception of these features is that the appendages were feathers, but the new study argues this isn’t the case. Rather, it’s an unusual type of…
