Calorie labels on menus are pointless unless you're actively trying to lose weight, a study has found. Researchers have discovered that being told your beef pie is 1,362 calories or your cheeseburger is 2,133 calories makes no difference to what you order unless you're watching what you eat. It casts further doubt on the effectiveness of the government's policy, introduced in 2022, that ordered the use of calorie labels by all food outlets with more than 250 employees.


The Trump Administration's Data Center Push Could Open the Door for New Forever Chemicals

WIRED

The Trump Administration's Data Center Push Could Open the Door for New Forever Chemicals The EPA is prioritizing review of new chemicals to be used in data centers. Experts say this could lead to the fast approval of new types of forever chemicals--with limited oversight. In recent months, the Trump administration has opened a deregulatory floodgate in the name of building more data centers. Among other things, this has involved ordering rollbacks of clean water regulations and opening up public lands to coal mining. Now, it's turning its eye to chemical regulation with a new policy that could, experts say, potentially fast-track the approval of new chemicals for use in the US--including new types of forever chemicals--with limited oversight. In September, the EPA announced it would be prioritizing the regulatory review of new chemicals used in data centers or related projects.

Professor Mike Cassidy, a volcanologist at the University of Birmingham, says the world's overlooked volcanoes'pose the greatest threat'.

Examples include El Chichón in Mexico, Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, Mount Merapi in Indonesia and La Soufrière on the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent.

Boeing's Next Starliner Flight Will Only Be Allowed to Carry Cargo

WIRED

Boeing's Next Starliner Flight Will Only Be Allowed to Carry Cargo After a high-profile malfunction left two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station, NASA is requiring rigorous testing before humans get back on board. The US space agency ended months of speculation about the next flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, confirming that the vehicle will carry only cargo to the International Space Station. NASA and Boeing are now targeting no earlier than April 2026 to fly the uncrewed Starliner-1 mission, the space agency said. Launching by next April will require completion of rigorous test, certification, and mission readiness activities, NASA added in a statement . "NASA and Boeing are continuing to rigorously test the Starliner propulsion system in preparation for two potential flights next year," said Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, in a statement.

Scientists witnessed as local brown rats ambushed a colony of bats as they entered two caves in Germany, leaping into the air to catch and kill the nocturnal creatures in droves. Moreover, these rats did this in the middle of the night and without being able to see their surroundings. Researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science said it's the first time common rats have ever been seen in Europe acting with such predatory instincts .
