Recent outages have revealed how vulnerable the internet is, but there seems to be no official plan in the event of a catastrophic failure. Meet the team of hackers who are ready to jump into action

Beyond 16 Million Colors
We can distinguish up to about ten million different colors, so you would think that with 255 x 255 x 255 colors, or roughly 16.6 million possibilities, the RGB color scheme would run the whole gamut. If you work digitally, though, you have probably found there are certain…

If you work digitally, though, you have probably found there are certain colors you simply can't get to. The current industry standard, sRGB, was created by HP and Microsoft to deliver consistent colors across many different devices, but it only covers only around 35% of the colors we can actually see.

How a surge in ancient plagues 5000 years ago shaped humanity
Plague, leprosy, smallpox and other diseases didn't jump from animals to humans when we thought. Ancient DNA is revealing where they come from and how they changed history
