LOS ANGELES : Kristen Bell returns to host Hollywood’s premier acting awards next month for the third time with a single goal: to entertain everyone equally. In a country riven by polarization, the actress says her role fronting the Actor Awards — previously called the SAG Awards — is just like hosting in your own home. “If I invite you over for dinner, I make a nice meal. I put placemats out. I say, keep your shoes on. No big deal,” Bell told AFP. “I do those things to make you feel welcome, and I hope you have a good…

RIO DE JANEIRO : Engie is looking at installing storage systems or bitcoin mining data centers at its new solar plant in Brazil to make the facility more profitable, the local head of the French utility company said.

New research shows that an intense regional dust storm transported unusually high amounts of water vapor into Mars’ upper atmosphere, boosting hydrogen escape. The discovery reshapes understanding of how the planet gradually lost its water. Today, Mars is known as a cold, dry desert. Yet its landscape tells a very different story about its distant past. Networks of channels, water-altered minerals, and other geological features show that the planet once had abundant liquid water and a far more active environment. Scientists have spent decades trying to understand how that wetter world transformed into the barren planet we see now. Although…
