With so much time to fill, Billy began recording the snowpack around his home to simply pass the time. When climate researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab discovered Billy's detailed records spanning decades, they had an invaluable resource for tracking how climate change is effecting our planet.

The CURREX RUNPRO proves that one of the most effective running upgrades isn't a new pair of shoes. It is what goes inside them. Developed by German sports scientists and backed by biomechanical research, the performance insole is engineered to improve comfort, stability, and efficiency with every stride. Flexible arch support, a deep decoupled heel cup, and shock-absorbing rebound cushioning work together to reduce fatigue while promoting better power transfer and a more secure fit across a wide range of running shoes. As the top aftermarket insole in U.S. specialty run stores and a leader in Europe, the RUNPRO offers a science-driven way to get more out of every mile.
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it. Originally inspired in part by the Nike Approach hiking boot, Bruce Kilgore's legendary design returns with a rugged update featuring a durable textile upper and a Vibram outsole built to tackle terrain beyond the pavement. Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.

Graphene is thought to be the strongest material known — in its two-dimensional form. Replicating that 2D strength in three dimensions has been problematic for scientists for decades. But researchers at MIT think they've found a solution. This new 3D-printed material has just 5% of the density of steel with over 10 times the strength, opening doors for applications from airplanes to filtration systems.
