Greenwashing is the clever disguise companies use to claim sustainability without actually doing anything, and the fashion industry is one of the worst offenders. PANGAIA’s Fashion scientist, Dr. Amanda Parkes, is on a mission to fix the industry’s problems with both unsustainable processes and the lack of information keeping
I don’t want to spoil the punchline of this article, but Amazon’s Kindle e-reader lineup runs from inexpensive to expensive. And with the introduction of the latest entry-level Kindle, the inexpensive end of the spectrum looks mighty enticing.
If you’re in the market for a new Kindle, here’s a look at your current options–including the differences between all the models and, perhaps more importantly, what they all have in common.

Branded is a weekly column devoted to the intersection of marketing, business, design, and culture.
A few months ago, when artificial-intelligence services that generated images based on text prompts started taking over the Internet, Heinz decided to test just how much its brand was synonymous with ketchup in general.
Working with the agency Rethink, Heinz asked AI image-maker DALL-E 2 to render “ketchup” and variations with different aesthetic modifiers (&#
Here’s a clever device that is both deceptively simple and surprisingly effective: a humidifier made of clay, inspired by the way trees absorb and evaporate water, that works without any external power whatsoever. Just physics. And 3D printing.
The device—called the Print Clay Humidifier—was created by designer Jiaming Liu as his master’s graduation project at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. It looks like an almost perfect exercise in
Seven months after Fitbit recalled the entirety of its Ionic smartwatches in March, a large number of customers say they still haven’t been reimbursed over the potentially faulty product.
Fitbit sold about 1 million Ionic watches in the U.S. in addition to nearly 700,000 internationally before it stopped production in 2020, with the company reportedly planning to release an updated version in the future. Still, consumers continued to use the product and a small percentage of
Nokia has picked a particularly challenging site for an upcoming network deployment: a place where temperatures range from 250 degrees to -208 degrees Fahrenheit, and there is no air to breathe whatsoever. But on the upside, the lack of atmosphere means no clouds to impair power generation by this future cell site’s solar panels.
Nokia’s plan to put a cellular network on the moon may seem like an Elon Musk-size publicity stunt. But its lunar-LTE ambitions come with a
Today, Netflix chief operating officer and chief product officer Greg Peters announced that the streamer’s new advertising-supported offering will kick off in the U.S. on November 3 and be priced at $6.99 per month.
The new ad tier will also be available in 11 other countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, and United Kingdom.
Dubbed “Basic with Ads,” it will feature 720p/HD video quality, and average f
It’s no longer fair to say Apple is dipping its toes into the financial services waters. It’s going for a full swim.
The tech company announced Thursday that holders of its Apple Card will soon be able to utilize a high-yield savings account through Goldman Sachs. And while interest rates weren’t disclosed, a typical Goldman savings account is currently paying an annual percentage yield of more than 2%, compared to 0.04% at Bank of America.

The Space Force (USSF) has signed on to be one of the very first customers of a gas station in space.
This week, in-space refueling company Orbit Fab won a $13.3 million USSF contract to gas up geostationary (GEO) military satellites starting in 2025. Under the four-year contract, which was first reported by Bloomberg, the Colorado-based space startup will deliver hydrazine propellant to at least one Space Force satellite in GEO.

Remember when the Mueller investigation documented in detail how Russian agents ran divisive or Trump-supporting ads all across Facebook in an effort to sow division and ultimately get Trump elected? How about when Russian hackers published thousands of stolen DNC emails through WikiLeaks, many of them damaging to the Hillary Clinton campaign? While it’s hard to know to what extent these actions contributed to Trump’s victory in 2016, it’s also hard to believe they didn&
