In a process that played out over thousands of years, a retreating ice sheet carved, scoured, and shaped the landscape of the present-day Great Lakes. In northern Lake Michigan, this sculpting left distinct ridges and valleys running north-to-south along the lake floor. Some parts of those ridges, made of erosion-resistant rock, have remained above the waves of the big lake, forming the Beaver Archipelago. The OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 9 captured this image of several of the archipelago’s islands on August 2, 2024. These patches of land contain upland forests, dunes, wetlands, and marshes—habitats that support rare plant and bird…

In just about any product category, you can probably think of recurring gripes that every user wants solved, but that companies are unable or unwilling to tackle. With smartphones, for example, most brands seem to sidestep the eternal demand for a battery that can last two or more days on a charge. It’s a complaint that isn’t just greedy — you might desperately need your phone during emergencies like hurricanes and wildfires, and you can’t always count on plugging in for a couple of hours. The smart TV space is no different. There are legitimate technical hurdles, to be sure.…

At the turn of the 20th century, William Hoy transformed Major League Baseball. The most prominent deaf player in history, he taught his team American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate on the field while keeping opponents in the dark. His silent speech, a legacy well over a century old now, also inspired umpires to make calls using hand gestures.ASL is one of some 300 sign languages used today by roughly 70 million deaf people worldwide. But only a sliver of society understands signs. Everyday tasks, like ordering at a restaurant or meeting people at social events can be difficult. To…
