New findings from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope are shedding light on star formation in a dynamic cluster that lies within a nebula 200,000 light years away.NGC 346, located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), is one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies. The SMC is a dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way which contains lower concentrations of metals.Since dust grains in space are composed mostly of metals – elements heavier than hydrogen or helium – scientists expected there would be low amounts of dust, and that it would be hard to detect. NASA’S JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE FINDS…

This winter, one brand has emerged as a reliable go-to amongst the fashionable set: The North Face. To be clear, the brand has always occupied a special place in fashion, aided in part by its ongoing collaborations with Supreme and last year’s buzzy partnership with Gucci. But North Face has achieved undeniable ubiquity this year. One of my Vogue colleagues remarked to my very own one with, “Wow, does everyone in the city really have a North Face puffer now.” It was a fair read. Walking around the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick, I can sometimes spot two or three wearers…

The European Union wants to compete with the United States on “quality, not subsidies,” Ursula von der Leyen has warned as the administration of US President Joe Biden begins to roll out a massive programme of tax credits and direct rebates for green technology under the so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).The IRA will dole out up to $369 billion over the next ten years for American companies and consumers who wish to produce, invest and buy things like solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, batteries and electrolysers to generate low-emission hydrogen.Crucially, the subsidies will apply only if the products are mostly…
