Why do we like our beer cold but our sake warm? This was the question posed by two scientists who were out drinking together. Their results have just been published in the journal Matter. The researchers measured the contact angle of different solutions that had varying concentrations of water and ethanol - which is the most common form of drinking alcohol. This gave them insights into how molecules within the solution were interacting with each other. At low alcohol concentrations like those found

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld managed to dominate the headlines ahead of the release of his newest Netflix project. Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story was overshadowed by Seinfeld's statements about the state of comedy, where he took pot-shots at the 'extreme left'.

Australian sailor Lisa Blair has undertaken plenty of adventures - and gone on to break records and inspire a documentary. In 2022, Lisa became the fastest person to sail around Antarctica solo, non-stop and unassisted, something only achieved by two other sailors. Her first attempt at that feat went on to inspire the new documentary 'Ice Maiden'. She says she examined the perceived risks of the journey - but her skills helped her achieve her goal. "Something like sailing solo round Antarctica

New reports suggest filmgoers are less interested in sex scenes than ever. Data shows there has been a 40 percent drop in sexual content in major Hollywood movies than there was at the start of the millennium. Founder of Intimacy Co-ordinators Aotearoa Tandi Wright says societal changes have led to audiences reconsidering intimate scenes in films. "The conversations that followed #MeToo, which was from 2017 onwards, I think, led to a broader kind of examination of the intimate content - and how

Not all agree with the cancellation of this year's New Zealand Fashion Week. Event organisers pulled the pin after financial pressures on the industry and made it a bi-annual event, starting from next year. Fashion PR agency Showroom 22 director Murray Bevan says he feels a midway point could've been reached. "When the chips are down, sometimes you double down on how hard you pushed to pull out of those troughs. And Fashion Week is a massive branding and marketing exercise for designers, so it's a

A nightmare run for the Green Party as further accusations come out about Julie Anne Genter.

It's the latest of several alleged altercations that have come to light involving Genter, after her outburst in Parliament on Wednesday night.

So, there’s a dog-fight brewing in Auckland - literally - and it got me thinking. Now I know this is potentially a controversial question - especially coming from someone who’s only had cats as an adult - but should you really have a dog in the city if you don’t have time to walk it yourself? Recently, a dog died after being mauled by other dogs that were being walked in a pack by a dog walker, and there are worries the growing dog-walking business is attracting people without the knowledge or

I am not a robot. It’s a common box that you have to tick on many websites as you log in - which apparently proves that you are a human, and not a robot. Many people however, seem to be more robot than human as they struggle to get the correct answers - which in some cases could mean the difference between getting tickets to a sell-out show or not. Captchas (an acronym for 'Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart') are puzzles designed to safeguard websites from
