'They don’t make music like they used to'- you might say as you listen to the latest hits on the radio. Well, new research published in the journal Scientific Reports might prove you right. In the study, researchers analysed 1,131 melodies from 360 singles that reached the top 5 US Billboard charts each year between 1950 and 2022. They chose to study melodies because when asked to sing a popular song, most people would sing the melody rather than its bassline or drum pattern. They found that the

Many experts believe fusion energy is the future of limitless clean energy - and one Wellington-based team aims to help New Zealand access this. OpenStar Technologies is working on a 'levitated dipole' fusion reactor prototype, designed to recreate the process where hydrogen atoms 'fuse' to make helium and release energy. Founder Dr Ratu Mataira was drawn to the possibilities that come with fusion energy. "Fusion has the advantage of being incredibly useful, and the challenge of our time is climate

Former court reporter turned author Steve Braunias has made a career out of seeing the worst the world has to offer. He's written articles about some of the nation's most infamous murder cases - and he's turned some of his findings into a book, The Survivors: True stories of death and desperation.

As the hospitality sector struggles and consumers feel the pinch from rising living costs, one entrepreneur has devised a solution. Food waste is still a lingering issue, so Foodprint founder Michal Garvey launched Mystery Bags to help business and consumers get through a gloomy winter period. Garvey says the viral nature of mystery packages would allow consumers to eat out sustainably - and have fun in the process.

The All Blacks are mightily relieved after the 16-15 win over England in Dunedin to start coach Scott Robertson's tenure. The ABs were kept try-less in the second spell but two Damian McKenzie penalties edged them home.

A change to the UK Government doesn't look to change much for New Zealand. It was a big win for Labour in the UK's general election, with Sir Keir Starmer now taking the helm as Prime Minister. It marks the end of the Conservative's 14 years in power. NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan says New Zealand's close relationship with the UK will likely remain.

Experts fear that the Government's plan to 'flood' the housing market comes with too many risks. Housing Minister Chris Bishop has promised to fill urban areas with development land and remove council powers to mandate boundaries and standards. UOA senior lecturer of Architecture and Planning, Dr Elizabeth Aitken Rose, says freeing up land won't fix the issues in the housing market. "We've know for the last 10-15 years that land supply along does not make housing more affordable." LISTEN ABOVESee

2024/07/06

So, what did you think of the new Three News bulletin at 6pm last night? I worked in TV for over a decade and the one thing I know is you never judge a live show on its first outing. Sometimes not even on its second. I felt a bit sick with nerves for the Stuff team at 5:58 last night. We were forewarned by Warner Bros Discovery this week that the bulletin is not yet everything they want it to be – that it will take time to grow. By saying that out loud they managed expectations for themselves, the

The effectiveness of multivitamins has made headlines after the release of a new study. The research found multivitamins didn't help people live longer - and found a link between daily usage and increased mortality. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara explained that multivitamins have a little bit of everything, which could introduce the body to ingredients it doesn't need.

The COVID-19 pandemic substantially changed how many office-based workers worked, and overnight working from home became the norm for millions of people. Since then, many businesses have tried to force workers back into to the office full-time believing that staff can’t be trusted to work effectively from home. This is often against the wishes of their staff who enjoy life without a commute and embrace their ability to keep up with household tasks by doing laundry on their lunch break. So, what

He says he didn't want to commit to any broadcasting roles, unless the right role turned up. "When I was offered Traitors last year - it was just obviously the right project. It was a month's solid work, all care, no responsibilities. The franchise was just
