Earth’s leading alien hunters believe extraterrestrials could be out there, they’re just having a hard time getting through to us because it’s stormy in space. Reminiscent of ET’s struggles to “phone home” in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 blockbuster movie, new research by the Silicon Valley-based SETI Institute (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) suggests tempestuous space weather makes radio signals from the distant cosmos harder to detect. The organization, which is partly funded by Nasa, said stellar activity such as solar storms and plasma turbulence from a star near “a transmitting planet” can broaden otherwise ultra-narrow signals. That spreads the power of any such transmission across more frequencies, the institute’s scientists say, which makes it more difficult to detect using traditional narrowband searches. “If a signal gets broadened by its own star’s environment, it can slip below our detection thresholds, even if it’s there, potentially helping explain some of the radio silence we’ve seen in technosignature searches,” SETI astronomer Vishal Gajjar said. His report, co-authored with SETI research assistant Grayce C Brown, was published this week in the Astrophysical Journal. For decades, SETI and other researchers have listened to the heavens for signs of non-human life by trying to identify spikes in frequency, indicating signals it said were unlikely to be produced by natural astrophysical processes. The new research, they say, highlights an “overlooked complication”: even if an extraterrestrial transmitter produces a perfectly narrow signal, it may not remain narrow by the time it leaves its home system. “Plasma density fluctuations in stellar winds, as well as occasional eruptive events such as coronal mass ejections, can distort radio waves near their point of origin, effectively ‘smearing’ the signal’s frequency and reducing the peak strength that search pipelines rely on,” a statement accompanying the finding states. In layman’s terms it means ...

At a trailhead not far from the sprawling red cliffs and canyons of Utah’s Capitol Reef national park, two men went looking for their wives who were overdue to return from a hike on Wednesday afternoon. They came upon a grisly scene. Natalie Graves, 34, and her aunt, 65-year-old Linda Dewey, had been killed and left in a parched creek bed, according to court documents. A Bureau of Land Management ranger responding to the area noted spent shell casings near their bodies. The white Subaru they had come in was missing. The horrifying discovery set off a police search across three states, closed schools in Wayne county, Utah, and left a community in shock. Dewey and Graves appear to have been the final victims in a random spree of killings in which three people were left dead. View image in fullscreen Not far from where Graves and Dewey were found, a BLM ranger came across a Buick ‘concealed under a tree’. Photograph: George Frey/AP Authorities announced on Thursday that they had arrested 22-year-old Ivan Miller of Iowa as a suspect in the murders. He has been charged with three counts of aggravated murder in the killings of Dewey, Graves and Margaret Oldroyd, an 86-year-old living in nearby Lyman. Police say Miller had no connection to the women. “It was just so hard for us to believe. It was just so shocking,” Burke Torgerson, the mayor of Lyman and a relative of Oldroyd, told KSL News Utah. “What would make a young man do something like that – just randomly?” It was the vehicles that led investigators to Oldroyd’s body and, eventually, to Miller. Not far from where Graves and Dewey were found, the BLM ranger came across a Buick “concealed under a tree”, registered to Oldroyd; a live shotgun shell was found behind the car. Deputies traveled to the 86-year-old’s home, a 20-minute drive from the trailhead. Investigators there found the grandmother’s body under a shed on the property, according to court documents. Meanwhile, the husband of one of the hikers was able to t...

All the information about pregnancy and parenting can be understandably off-putting. It’s best to look at it clear-sightedly and, if you do decide to give it a go, accept that the path ahead is unpredictable Can you know too much to have kids? “Maybe knowing too much about motherhood has ruined me,” journalist Andrea González-Ramírez mused on New York magazine’s The Cut website. She always assumed she would have children, González-Ramírez writes, but the “overload of brutally honest information” from the frontlines of millennial motherhood, and everything she knows about the horrifying rollback of reproductive rights, maternal mortality rates, the childcare crisis and the motherhood penalty, has left her deeply ambivalent. Recent reports on birth trauma and grave failings in maternity care here in the UK add to the feeling it’s sensible to wonder if you’re ready to put your physical integrity, financial stability, mental health, or even your life on the line; at some level, we get the birthrate we deserve as a society. Plus, the news last week that pregnant women “shed grey matter” (“pruning” to prepare for caregiving life, the theory goes) wouldn’t win me over if I were on the fence. Continue reading...

With thanks to Ealing Riding School. Archive photograph: courtesy of Nick Mohammed Born in Leeds in 1980, Nick Mohammed is a comedian and magician. He left his PhD in seismology at Cambridge to pursue comedy full-time. As well as appearing in TV shows such as Miranda, Life’s Too Short and Stath Lets Flats, he has toured as Mr Swallow – a comedy character magician he developed while in Footlights. From 2020 to 2023 he played Nate Shelley in Ted Lasso, and was in the 2025 series of The Celebrity Traitors. His current Mr Swallow show, Show Pony, tours from 9 April to 20 June. This was taken on holiday with my mum, dad and big sister, either in the Lake District or Norfolk. It would have been a day out on a farm – I look half delighted and half terrified to ride a pony. I probably got to feed a guinea pig at some point, too, and afterwards we would have gone back to a cottage to have sausages, chips and beans. At this age I was the odd combination of being very shy but also an attention seeker. When I was five, I had watched a Paul Daniels magic show on Saturday-night TV and instantly wanted to do it myself. My auntie got me a Paul Daniels magic set, and after that magic became my superpower. I needed one, really. I was a short, brown kid growing up in Leeds in the 80s and 90s, and was the only person of colour in my primary school. I was performing to overcompensate for being an outsider.

Markets sold off this past week as escalating US-Israeli strikes sent oil prices to their highest levels since 2024, leaving investors scrambling to price in the risk of a prolonged regional conflict. In times of volatility, Wall Street strategists say that certain tech giants offer safe havens for those who must remain positioned in the stock market. Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at US Bank Wealth Management, told Yahoo Finance that there is a definitive "structural tailwind" to the AI trade, with hyperscalers upping their investment by 30% in 2026 alone. Even as questions about the broader market remain, "this is a story that we think lasts and has legs," he said. The primary defensive anchors in this environment are Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL), which DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria described as "stay connected" necessities. Luria points out that even in an economic slowdown, consumers will continue to buy iPhones, just as businesses will remain committed to Windows and Azure. Dan Ives of Wedbush reinforced this, pointing to Microsoft's massive $625 billion backlog and Apple's "monster cash flow" as critical buffers against volatility. Google parent company Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) is also seen as a resilient third choice due to its steady business model, though Luria remains skeptical of more "economically sensitive" names like Meta (META). This stems from Meta's near-total reliance on advertising, which makes up roughly 98% of its revenue. While Microsoft and Alphabet have enterprise cloud buffers, Meta remains highly vulnerable to pullbacks in marketing budgets from small and medium-size businesses. Others on Wall Street are more bullish on Amazon (AMZN), pointing to a significant margin opportunity for its retail and cloud service, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon is the "most attractive it's ever been on a sum-of-the-parts basis," Rockland Trust vice president Michael Sayers told Yahoo Finance. This divergence highlights a shift toward high-mar...

TebNad/iStock via Getty Images Real Estate Weekly Outlook U.S. equities posted their worst week since October - while benchmark interest rates jumped by the most in nearly a year - as a historic surge in oil prices fueled by the escalating Iran conflict rattled investor sentiment and revived fears of a renewed inflation shock. While the U.S. and its allies continued to dominate the military balance over the past week, what remains of the Iranian regime is increasingly wounded and unpredictable, resorting to attacks on tankers, ports, and civilian infrastructure in an attempt to sow chaos in global energy markets through aggression in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices surged to the highest level since 2024 as traders priced in the possibility of long-term disruptions to Middle East oil production and the critical energy chokepoint that handles one-fifth of global oil trade. Adding to the angst, the February jobs report raised fresh questions about the durability of the labor market. Hoya Capital Posting its worst week in five months, the S&P 500 declined 2.0% on the week. The selling pressure was more acute among the smaller-cap segments, reversing some of their early-year outperformance amid a value rotation trade. The Mid-Cap 400 dipped nearly 5% on the week - its worst slide since the Liberation Day sell-off in April 2025 - while the Small-Cap 600 slipped nearly 4%. The "AI Scare Trade" was put on the back burner this week, however, with the Nasdaq 100 posting modest declines of around 1%. Energy was the lone GICS sector higher on the week, with gains of around 1%, while the Materials, Consumer Staples, and Healthcare sectors posted losses of around 5%. Pressured by the resurgence in rates, real estate equities struggled this week as an otherwise strong REIT earnings season wrapped up with the final handful of reports. The Equity REIT Index declined 2.2% on the week, with 18 of 20 property sectors in negative territory. The Mortgage REIT Index declined 2.2%, while ...

The $60 wireless gamepad, which is often well below $50, mimics or improves on many of the $90 Switch 2 Pro controller’s best features. The S10 has great-feeling rumble in games, TMR joysticks that will last longer than Nintendo’s, plus amiibo support, comfortable grips, and buttons and triggers that offer satisfying clicks. The new S10 Lite trims away some of those, but builds on EasySMX’s lead with one big, new feature that I expect other companies to copy. The EasySMX S10 Lite is the first third-party controller to offer native support for the Switch 2. It’s an improvement on all non-Nintendo wireless controllers, which rely on macros to execute system-level commands, like GameChat, and require a strange, yet common first-time setup process (EasySMX’s S10 included) to be able to wake the Switch 2. The S10 Lite is instead treated like a first-party controller by the console (the system interface even thinks it’s a Switch 2 Pro). It can quickly pair to your console and remotely wake it by tapping the Home button, just like Nintendo’s pricey controller. It’s also compatible with the original Switch, despite EasySMX’s site implying otherwise, though the S10 Lite’s native OS-level integration and GameChat button don’t work on that platform. Previous Next 1 / 2 Holding the Home button opens some quick settings, and the ability to customize the GL/GR button mapping here is unique to the S10 Lite and the Switch 2 Pro. This native support also lets you configure the S10 Lite’s GL and GR rear paddles through the Switch 2’s operating system by holding the controller’s Home button while in-game. It’s the only controller not made by Nintendo that can do this. This lets the S10 ...

Traders are piling into options as supply disruptions from the war in Iran send oil and other commodity prices soaring. Implied volatility for oil has jumped to rarely seen levels as producers, airlines and utilities hedge like never before, while that for European natural gas reached the highest since 2023. CME Group Inc. said its energy complex saw record daily volume on Friday, at more than 8 million contracts. Read more: Oil Hedging Desks Dizzy From Record-Breaking Week Brace for More “This is clearly one of the biggest volatility events that has taken place in 20 years,” said Rebecca Babin , a senior energy trader at CIBC Private Wealth Group. “You have to look at everything, including physical market indicators that aren’t showing up on the screen. Your head is literally on a swivel.” Oil has been at the center of the action, with flows through the Strait of Hormuz — which normally handles around one-fifth of global shipments — nearly halted. West Texas Intermediate futures jumped 12% on Friday, capping the biggest-ever weekly gain. Traders are gearing up for even higher prices, with many calling for $100 a barrel. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have started to reduce oil production, adding to the supply woes. WTI options volatility jumped Friday to the highest level since Covid, with the skew — gauging the premium of calls versus puts — at one point reaching the the most bullish reading in data compiled by Bloomberg back to 2015. Read more: Traders Warn $100 Oil Is Imminent If Iran War Keeps Raging Oil traders were shifting positions upward as prices kept climbing above $90. For example, on Friday, April $120/$150 call spreads traded, appearing to roll a position higher. “The rate of the vol move is accelerating faster than the rate of open interest,” said Babin. “That tells us we’re getting into a situation where dealers are hesitant to take this risk.” The bid for calls extends along the term structure to more of a degree than following the US bombing ...

After being one of the top stocks in the Nasdaq-100 index over the last couple of years, shares of Palantir Technologies (PLTR +3.03%) are down 14% so far in 2026. However, shares rocketed nearly 12% over the last five trading days -- giving growth investors a small glimmer of hope during the ongoing "SaaSpocalypse." Let's take a look at both the headwinds and tailwinds facing Palantir to help understand what's going on with the stock. Why did Palantir's stock fall in February? In early February, Palantir reported fourth-quarter earnings. Despite explosive growth across revenue and profit, shares of Palantir have traded sideways since the company published its full-year 2025 report. The main drag on Palantir stock over the last several weeks has more to do with macroeconomic drawdowns as opposed to anything specific to the company. Namely, large-cap software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks crashed after Anthropic's Claude model released a number of new plugins that mimic the capabilities of incumbent enterprise software platforms. Expand NASDAQ : PLTR Palantir Technologies Today's Change ( 3.03 %) $ 4.62 Current Price $ 157.29 Key Data Points Market Cap $376B Day's Range $ 150.34 - $ 161.43 52wk Range $ 66.12 - $ 207.52 Volume 3.6M Avg Vol 48M Gross Margin 82.37 % Why is Palantir stock rising right now? The Department of Defense is a known power user of Palantir's software. In the ever-changing world of geopolitics, perhaps the most fluid situation right now surrounds the Middle East. While I cannot say whether the U.S. military is leveraging Palantir to carry out its operation in Iran, the broader theme is that investors are using the war as a proxy catalyst given the company's long-standing ties to the Pentagon. Should you buy Palantir stock? Investing in a defense company during a time of conflict is largely speculative. One day, the stock rises on so-called war demand, only to retreat the next day as details around the situation unfold. In general, I do not encourage...

New Iran Supreme Leader Chosen, But Identity Concealed, As US-Israeli Strikes Obliterate Tehran's Energy Resources Iran officially announced Sunday that it has chosen its next supreme leader , though the identity of the successor remains under wraps for now , given that already the Assembly of Experts had last week paused the selection process amid the ongoing heavy US-Israeli bombing campaign. The other big concern is that the next Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic will have big target on his back while under the bombs . According to Iran's ISNA news agency, the Assembly of Experts reached their decision following emergency deliberations triggered by the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the opening hours of the war which kicked off early on February 28. "The most suitable candidate, approved by the majority of the Assembly of Experts, has been determined," Mohsen Heydari, a member of the body, declared Sunday. Stillframe of video after overnight strike & fire at oil depot in Tehran, via NYT/@Vahid Fars News further cited another member, Mohammad Mehdi Mirbagheri, who confirmed that "a firm opinion reflecting the majority view has been reached" - but again, the name has not yet been publicly disclosed. Israeli officials have made clear they will strike any figure chosen to replace Khamenei , raising the prospect that Iran's new supreme leader could face assassination almost immediately after going public and assuming power. But presumably there are command bunkers hidden deep underground, and all across the country. Saturday and overnight saw the war expanding into a new phase, with US and Israeli forces now hitting Iranian oil depots and refining facilities in Tehran for the first time - also what's said to be fuel storage for the country's armed forces, which has sent thick clouds of black smoke all over the densely-packed city of Tehran, which is comparable in size and population to New York City. Oil-soaked rain even came down, and massive oil depot fires ha...

Balendra Shah, the rapper turned politician and popular figurehead of a gen Z revolution, looks set to become Nepal’s next prime minister after his party won by an unprecedented margin. Shah, known widely as Balen, and his Rastriya Swatantra party (RSP) secured a rare landslide victory in the first election since youth-led protests during which dozens were killed and the former government was toppled. “It is the victory of hope and change,” said Ramesh Paudyal, a senior RSP leader. “It is the most beautiful endorsement of the gen Z movement. The true tribute to the gen Z martyrs will be expressed through the work carried out every day by the government led by Balendra Shah.” The public upset and anger at the political old guard was evident in the results, with veteran parties and their leaders losing vast numbers of seats. Balen’s RSP, which was formed only three years ago by a former TV executive, was handed a rare outright majority. View image in fullscreen Supporters of Balendra Shah celebrating in Damak, Jhapa district. Photograph: Adnan Abidi/Reuters Nepal’s electoral system – which combines a first past the post system with proportional representation – has tended to result in weak coalition governments. But as counting reached its final stages, RSP had won at least 117 out of 185 direct seats and was leading in eight more, putting the party on course for the biggest electoral majority since Nepal became a democracy. The final election results, which will include additional seats appointed through proportional representation, are expected in the coming days. The contest was considered one of the most significant and gripping in years, pitting the heavyweights who have dominated Nepal’s politics for decades against a younger generation pledging to end corruption and bring about a fresh start for the country.
