Kanye West — the musician turned fashion designer — is walking away from his partnership with Gap, his lawyer confirmed to Insider. Ending the contract means West is walking away from up to $75 million worth of Gap shares — plus millions more of potential future earnings. In July, a full two years after the line was announced, the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga line was released. The sparse line — that includes anoraks, hoodies, and bodysuits — was the first of the Yeezy Gap label to be sold in stores. The Journal also reported new Yeezy Gap items would roll out in stores this year and that the retailer could continue to sell existing products.

☆ Scientists shot tardigrades out of a gun at more than 2,000 mph to see if the critters could survive

Tardigrades can survive in extreme environments, but a new study shows they're not indestructible. Scientists found these creatures couldn't survive speeds above 2,000 mph when shot out of a gun. The researchers shot canisters full of tardigrades out of a high-speed gun at various speeds to see whether the creatures could survive the pressure of each resulting impact. After being shot out at speeds under 900 meters per second (about 2,000 mph) — that's faster than your average bullet — the tardigrades could be revived. But if tardigrades can't survive the pressures of a collision with our moon, it's unlikely they could survive a meteorite impact with another planet, the study authors wrote.

☆ Descoperire alarmantă pe muntele Everest, care arată că natura este în pericol chiar și la 8.440 metri altitudine

Probele colectate de pe cel mai înalt munte din lume au o mulțime de microplastice prezente, iar cauza este deocamdată controversată. Cea mai mare concentrație a fost găsită în tabăra de bază - 79 de fibre microplastice pe litru de zăpadă - care este un nivel ce dăunează ecosistemelor. Cu toate acestea, acele calități creează, în mare parte, criza globală de mediu pe care o vedem astăzi. Acum există o recunoaștere globală a necesității de a lua măsuri și chiar Nepalul a impus reglementări privind expedițiile pe munte, pentru a încerca să limiteze problemele de mediu create de deșeuri. Acest studiu și cercetările noastre continue subliniază importanța creării unor materialelor care au calitățile materialelor plastice, dar fără moștenire durabilă și dăunătoare”.
