The trick to finding a competent and affordable gaming chair is accepting that this chair is not going to be a forever chair. A gaming chair for under $100 is going to be a chair you use until you can buy a better one. That’s not to say that all gaming chairs under $100 are hunks of plastic waiting to be thrown out, however. There are plenty of solid buys that will either fill a pertinent need or be a perfect chair for the kids to use....

Best overall: AstroAI Jumper CablesBest heavy-duty: AUTOGEN Heavy-Duty Jumper CablesBest portable: Lifeline AAA Premium Road KitBest for motorcycles: Yuasa Jumper CablesBest budget: Energizer Jumper Cables How we chose the best jumper cables I’ve used more than a few sets of jumper cables in my life, and one particular set quite a few times when I owned a Square Body Chevy. My personal affinity for older—arguably, poorly maintained—project cars has led me to have plenty of personal experience jumping different vehicles in a variety of parking locations....

Explore the full list Here’s what I love about the elegantly functional stethoscope that is the recipient of our 2009 Innovation of the Year award: It looks exactly like a stethoscope. Jointed arms connect earpieces to a black rubber tube that leads to a circular amplifier—you’ve seen one every time you’ve visited your doctor since you were born. It takes an observant eye to notice that on this one, there’s a tiny screen on the back of that amplifier, and telltale + and – signs and a small power button that signify electronics in action....

Getting things in order can sometimes feel chaotic, but there’s a system of office file cabinets and office storage cabinets for every scenario, whether you’re working in a private home office, a shared workspace, or somewhere in between. For example, users of shared workspaces or who are storing sensitive documents should have at least one locking cabinet on hand, and home office users storing tax forms, birth certificates, and other legal paperwork should consider a fireproof file cabinet to safeguard their documents....

For our top picks, we mainly looked at tests included in scientific studies, including this one published in the Journal Immunoassay and Immunochemistry in 2019, on over-the-counter pregnancy tests....

Using a vacuum sealer, which wraps food in plastic and removes air from inside the packaging, can help keep food from spoiling so it can be safely stored for longer. Sealing your food, rather than simply wrapping it, limits exposure to oxygen, which causes most food to start breaking down. We found the best vacuum sealers that preserve food longer, with features that will make the process as easy as possible....

The writer’s opening metaphor left me scratching my head, but these pictures of the otolithic organs of fish are strange and fascinating.Researchers revisited an episode from 1966 where a failed vaccine led to the death of two toddlers — and think they’ve figured out what went wrong.I seriously wondered if this was a very early April Fool’s Day joke, but there’s no sign that it is: In Japan, railroads are installing blue streetlights at train stations in hopes that they’ll deter people bent on suicide....

BMW is a perfect example. The Bavarian automaker is one of the many manufacturers that are spearheading the shift from the internal combustion engine to electrification. That means rapidly redefining some of the most basic things people perceive about cars, including their sound. To try to tantalize its customer’s senses, BMW has decided to tap legendary film composer Hans Zimmer, tasking him with creating the sound that will mark an entirely new generation of vehicles....

A virtual private network or VPN essentially works as your shield when you hop online. It establishes an encrypted connection between your computer and the internet, rendering you anonymous and undetected the whole time you’re connected. Numerous options for VPNs are available on the market today, including top-rated ones like Ivacy VPN. For a limited time, you can grab a lifetime subscription to the service for a significant price cut....

Typically priced at $1,295, with the included accessories, the Brava oven—which is about the size of a microwave—costs as much as a full-fledged stove. To offset the cost a bit, Brava offers a payment plan of $45 a month. While you are spending more initially, I’d argue that you will end up spending less in the long term, especially if you usually eat out or get delivery. Based on delivery tips and restaurant markups on deliveries, the monthly cost pays for itself....

Ships are the primary way to collect information about the seas, but they’re costly to send out frequently. More recently, robotic buoys called Argo floats have been drifting with the currents, diving up and down to take a variety of measurements at depths up to 6,500 feet. But new aquatic robots from a lab at Caltech could rove deeper and take on more tailored underwater missions. “We’re imagining an approach for global ocean exploration where you take swarms of smaller robots of various types and populate the ocean with them for tracking, for climate change, for understanding the physics of the ocean,” says John O....

Whether it’s a simple square or a wonky equilateral, every polygon contains multitudes. These shapes are no different; each has dozens of smaller geometric units nested inside.

These short but deep channels may have played an unexpectedly important role in shaping the Red Planet’s topography, scientists reported this week in Nature. The researchers compared satellite imagery of valleys created by overflowing craters and more gradual river erosion across Mars, and found that canyons associated with crater lakes accounted for nearly a quarter of the total volume of the valleys. The findings highlight key differences in the processes that have influenced the landscapes of Earth and Mars, and have implications for understanding our neighbor’s past habitability....

A great many of those eye-candy photos were created by one man, Zolt Levay, who joined the then-newly-formed Hubble organization in 1983 and has been there ever since. He’s the guy who takes the data that scientists collect with the telescope and re-mixes it into images made for public consumption. When we decided to honor Hubble’s heritage with a gallery of 26 photos—one for each year of its orbital tenure, plus the official 25th-anniversary image—Levay seemed like the ideal person to curate it....

The Xperia Z runs a mildly altered version of Android, has a huge, super-high-resolution 5-inch screen at 1920 x 1080 pixels. The screen is crazy. Easily one of the best screens I’ve ever seen on a phone, especially in the deep, seductive blacks, dark and still like a desert night. (We are in the desert right now.) The phone is also very very thin, at 7.9 mm, and nicely squared-off....

Lots of companies like The North Face and Champion can (and have tried to) use aerogel, but Oros (formerly called Lukla) is betting these larger companies think it’s too much of a hassle to produce. The most famous example of this is Champion’s 2010 summit of Mt. Everest, when they outfitted a Canadian mountaineer with a jacket seemingly as thin as a windbreaker to deal with extreme cold. The jacket never went into production, as they claimed it to be exorbitantly expensive....
