(CNN) — Un minúsculo bolso de mano que mide apenas 0,65 por 0,22 y por 0,7 milímetros (o menos de 0,03 pulgadas de ancho) se vendió por más de US$ 63.000 en una subasta en línea este miércoles.Apenas visible para el ojo humano, el bolso verde amarillento fluorescente se basa en un popular diseño de Louis Vuitton, aunque es obra de un colectivo artístico neoyorquino y no de la propia marca de lujo.El grupo MSCHF, con sede en Brooklyn, bautizó su diminuta creación como “bolso microscópico” y afirma que es lo bastante estrecho como para pasar por el ojo de una aguja y más pequeño que un grano de sal marina (aunque eso depende de lo gruesa que te guste la sal).View this post on InstagramA post shared by MSCHF (@mschf)El objeto se fabricó mediante polimerización de dos fotones, una tecnología de fabricación utilizada para imprimir en 3D piezas de plástico a microescala.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:14 GMT

Americans 60 and older can get a new RSV vaccine but should discuss it with their doctor first, U.S. health officials recommended Thursday.The newly approved vaccines are expected to be ready in the fall, a time when flu shots and updated COVID-19 shots also will be available. Those eligible for the RSV vaccine should talk with their doctor to see if it is right for them, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.The CDC said adults with chronic heart or lung disease, weakened immune systems and those living in long-term care facilities are at higher risk for the respiratory infection.RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a common cause of cold-like symptoms but it can be dangerous for infants and the elderly. A surge last year filled hospitals with wheezing children. There’s no vaccine yet for kids, but one for pregnant women to prevent illness in infants may be coming too, pending approval from the Food and Drug Administration.On Thursday, Dr. Roch...

Spacecraft returns home with potential origins of life on Earth, unlocking universe’s secrets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:14 GMT

A spacecraft that embarked on a groundbreaking mission to uncover the origins of life on Earth is finally heading back home after successfully collecting samples from an asteroid. The Lockheed Martin-built space probe, named “OSIRIS-REx,” completed a brief touchdown on an asteroid known as Bennu in October 2020, fulfilling its primary objective of obtaining a soil sample for further analysis.Dante Lauretta, the Principal Investigator of OSIRIS-REx from the University of Arizona, described Bennu as a time capsule that has preserved its ancient minerals and chemicals for over 4.5 billion years. Remarkably, these substances predate the formation of Earth as a planet, making the asteroid a potential goldmine of information about the solar system’s history and the emergence of life. The nearly three-year-long journey of OSIRIS-REx is approaching its climactic conclusion. The spacecraft is set to parachute down to the Utah desert this September, where a highly anticipate...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:14 GMT

PARIS — The violent unrest that has spread across France since a teenager was killed by police in a Paris suburb has raised the specter of riots that rocked French suburbs for weeks in 2005 — and Emmanuel Macron’s government is scrambling to stop that from happening again.On Thursday morning, the French president called an emergency Cabinet meeting in the wake of overnight clashes in French cities after a 17-year-old was shot by police on Tuesday during a traffic stop in Nanterre, a western Paris suburb.The government decided to cancel all “non-priority” trips by ministers, the government’s latest move to dial down tensions that are gripping the nation.Macron’s own response to the images of a police officer shooting Nahel M.(his full name has not been given) was swift and unequivocal. While some questioned whether the police officer had felt threatened by the teenager, the president spoke of “the emotion of the nation” and said the killing was “inexplicable” and “inexcusa...

Column: Are the Chicago Cubs willing to play the waiting game before the Aug. 1 trade deadline? It sounds like it.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:14 GMT

The so-called “intelligent spending” plan Chicago Cubs president Jed Hoyer embarked upon last offseason has produced mixed results as the team nears the halfway point of the 2023 season.Dansby Swanson, their biggest signing of the $300 million-plus spending spree, has paid dividends already. His 2.9 WAR ranked third among shortstops on Wednesday, and Swanson may be the best defensive shortstop the Cubs have seen since Don Kessinger over five decades ago.Cody Bellinger provided a lift before his knee injury on May 15 in Houston, while Drew Smyly looks like a sound investment after being re-signed to a two-year deal in spite of a rough start Wednesday in an 8-5 loss, the team’s third straight, to the Philadelphia Phillies before 32,279 at Wrigley Field.But none of the other free agent signings have stood out so far, and the net result of all the moves has been a sub-.500 team (37-40) that’s only in contention because of the weak competition in the National Leag...
