No image is more closely associated with the birth of the motion picture than a train pulling into the French coastal town of La Ciotat. Captured by cinema pioneers Auguste and Louis Lumière, the 50-second clip frightened the audience at its first screening in 1896, who thought a real locomotive was hurtling toward them — […]

In the past two months, the industry has lost about Rs 2,000 crore as stay-at-home orders and social distancing norms kept moviegoers away. Looking at historical evidence on how people flocked to cinema halls after World War II, or after a 45-day strike in India in 2009, multiplex players are hopeful of a repeat this time if safety can be assured.

About 8000 years ago, people were drawing dogs with leashes, according to a series of newly described stone carvings from Saudi Arabia. Online News Editor David Grimm talks with Sarah Crespi about reporting on this story and what it says about the history of dog domestication. Sarah also interviews physicist Brad Marston of Brown University on surprising findings that bring together planetary science and quantum physics. It turns out that Earth’s rotation and the presence of oceans and atmosphere on its surface mean it can be described as a “topological insulator”—a term usually reserved for quantum phenomena. Insights from the study of these effects at the quantum level may help us understand weather and currents at the planetary level—including insights into climate change and exoplanets.

In particular, we dive pretty deep on:

• What is React: The Big Picture course?
• React
• The frameworks work with each other
• Reason and Elm
• How to decide when using React is the best option?
• React tradeoffs
