But there are other kinds of cyclones, and tropical cyclones can become different cyclones as their life cycle expires. These storms are called extratropical cyclones, and they’re different than a tropical cyclone, including that they’ll form as far north as the Arctic....

Today, a lot of people are thinking about how to build healthy houses once again, as we learn about the dangers from chemicals within the home and pollution without....

Marvel Studios is slowly inching closer to restarting its Phase 4 slate with Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight, which debuts on Disney+ on March 30.

Last year we were approached by a designer wanting to develop a line of sustainable swimwear. We observed that one very tricky element would be doing away with the stretch element: elastane or spandex, what most of us more commonly know as Lycra, DuPont’s heavily promoted trademark. Lycra has many worthy attributes, and has thus become ubiquitous, particularly throughout our clothing wardrobes of women and active folk. However it also has some considerable drawbacks....

When I wrote the post What’s wrong with this picture, under a photo of a Tesla sitting in a double garage of a suburban house covered in solar panels, my big complaint was that “Designing our future around electric cars driving to single family houses, even if they are net zero, is just not going to scale.” You still were going to need lots of roads and lots of highways and people were going to be just as stuck....

Years ago I was in a prototype green trailer design with bamboo floors that were being pitched as greener (that’s how long ago) and a prospect walked in, looked at the floor and asked “How does this save me energy?” He was not alone; for many, energy conservation has been the driving force behind green design. First, it was because of the oil crisis of the seventies, about reducing consumption and eliminating dependence on foreign supplies; then climate change took over as the driving force, and the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions....

Eternals may not have been Marvel Studios’ most popular movie - in fact, it’s among the lowest grossing and rated - but there’s still plenty of anticipation for the sequel. That comes in part due to the epic cliffhanger from the first installment that saw half the team taken by the Celestial Arishem to judge Earth, and the others circling the galaxy looking for other Eternals. That came on top of the debut of Harry Styles’ Eros, aka Starfox....
