As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s people like you and me—has barely noticed this remarkable change.
The Earth’s core is comprised of metals and, as the name suggests, makes up the interior of the Earth. It consists of a liquid outer core (made of iron and nickel and other elements, which play a role in the Earth’s magnetic field) and a solid inner core (also made of iron and nickel, at a temperature up to 5,700 degrees Celsius).
The Earth’s outer core begins around 1,800 miles below the Earth’s surface and the inner core begins around 3,200 miles below.
Rotation changes in the Earth’s core
For a long time, scientists assumed that the Earth’s inner core had a stable, even, and constant rotation below the Earth’s crust. However, with the help of seismic analyses (i.e., studies of earthquakes), researchers have discovered that this rotation is by no means constant but fluctuates. These fluctuations can be so massive that the Earth’s core can move as fast as the Earth’s crust and then appear to stand still.
However, this doesn’t mean that the Earth’s core rotates in the opposite direction. Instead, it only appears that way because it rotates more slowly in relation to the Earth’s crust—sometimes even significantly more slowly. Nor does the Earth’s core ever remain stationary, but simply stops changing in relation to the Earth’s crust.
This current slowdown in the rotation of the Earth’s core began as early as 2009. At that time, the Earth’s core and crust moved more or less in unison, but since then, the movement of the Earth’s core has become even slower. It seems that the Earth’s core changes its rotational direction relative to the Earth’s crust every 35 years. Therefore, the fluctuations that comprise an entire cycle last 70 years.
What effects does this have on Earth?
Technically, days can become longer or shorter due to the changes in rotational speed of the Earth’s core. However, the changes are tiny—in the range of milliseconds. We humans might not notice this, but it can have an effect on astronomical measurements and satellites. Changes to the Earth’s magnetic field and the climate are also possible.

Kate Middleton visited two historic British textile mills today, continuing her advocacy for the country’s manufacturing heritage, while Prince Harry concluded his separate UK engagements in London.
The Princess of Wales began her day at Sudbury Silk Mills in Suffolk. The 300-year-old family business has operated continuously since the early 18th century and has established itself as a leader in jacquard weaving techniques that produce intricate silk patterns for high-end interiors. It emerged during Britain’s textile boom, when demand for luxury fabrics drove innovation in weaving technology. The mill’s jacquard looms, some dating back decades, still produce the silk patterns that interior designers source for luxury hotels, historic restorations, and private residences across Europe.

Kate’s second stop took her to Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent, where she toured the small-scale operation with just nine employees. Founded in 1967, Marina Mill specializes in hand-designed and screen-printed furnishing fabrics, and works directly with interior designers to create bespoke textiles for residential and commercial projects. The mill’s hand-printing process allows for color variations and artistic irregularities that distinguish their fabrics from machine-manufactured alternatives.
The Princess has a family background in textiles. Her paternal great-great-grandfather Noel Middleton owned William Lupton & Co, a prominent woolen manufacturer in Leeds that operated for generations before being sold to AW Hainsworth in 1958. Kate toured the Hainsworth facility in 2023 to explore her family’s industrial legacy in Yorkshire’s textile heartland.

The Princess conducted her textile visits to highlight the economic importance of Britain’s specialty manufacturing sector. Both mills are small businesses that preserve traditional skills while contributing to export markets, with Sudbury’s silks and Marina’s printed fabrics sold internationally.
Thursday’s visits continue Kate’s pattern of supporting British heritage industries, following similar textile mill tours in Yorkshire and other manufacturing regions.

Gold and silver prices dropped on Thursday in both international and domestic markets after reaching all-time highs in Pakistan.
In the international bullion market, the price of gold fell by $36 per ounce to settle at $3,618. The decline pulled local prices lower as well, with 24-carat gold slipping by Rs4,100 per tola to Rs384,000. The price of 10 grams also dropped by Rs3,515 to Rs329,218.
Silver mirrored the trend. The price per tola fell by Rs36 to Rs4,326, while 10 grams eased by Rs32 to Rs3,736.
Bullion dealers attributed the decline to international market corrections and said local demand remains subdued amid price volatility.
A day earlier, gold prices in Pakistan continued their upward march and reached an all-time high as investors flocked to the safe-haven asset.
According to the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA), the price of gold per tola surged by Rs4,100 to reach a record Rs388,100. Similarly, the rate of 10 grams rose by Rs3,514, hitting a peak of Rs332,733.
On Monday, the precious metal had already reached a record Rs384,000 per tola after gaining Rs6,100 in a single day.
Internationally, gold prices continued their record-setting rally as mounting expectations of a September U.S. interest rate cut pressured the dollar and Treasury yields, while investors awaited key U.S. inflation data later in the week.
Spot gold was up 0.7% at $3,661.09 per ounce as of 9:33 a.m. ET (1333 GMT), after hitting a record $3,666.38 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures for December delivery rose 0.7% to $3,701.40.
Market analysts said persistent global uncertainty and policy expectations are likely to keep safe-haven demand for gold elevated in the near term.
When young donor myeloid cells are transplanted into aging mouse brains, they quickly adopt aging phenotypes. In contrast, old myeloid cells transplanted in young brains take on a more youthful aspect. These findings, which establish the brain’s local environment as the primary driver of microglial aging, are reported in a new preprint published on bioRxiv earlier this week. The work was done by a team of scientists from Calico Life Sciences, Stanford University, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and other collaborators.
The study focused on microglia, the immune cells of the central nervous system and one of the most affected cell types in aging brains. In the preprint, which is titled “Heterochromic myeloid cell replacement reveals the local brain environment as key driver of microglia aging,” the scientists describe “a scalable, genetically modifiable system for in vivo heterochromic myeloid cell replacement” that they used to “establish the local environment, rather than cell-autonomous programming, as a primary driver of microglia aging phenotypes.”
Full details of the methods that the scientists used are provided in the paper but essentially the team performed single-cell transcriptomics and mapping of immune cell proteins from the cortex and cerebellum of young and aged mice. This data let the team identify microglia, macrophages, granulocytes, T-cells, and natural killer cells as well as “differential gene expression patterns between cerebellar and cortical microglia at young baseline.” The team also designed a protocol for replacing the brain cells in young and aged mice that relied on bone marrow conditioning and treatment with a CSF1R inhibitor. The mice used in the study were aged three- and 18-months.
Analysis of the cells that were isolated from the cortex and the cerebellum of mice following microglia replacement showed that “reconstituted myeloid cells adopt region-specific transcriptional, morphological, and tiling profiles characteristic of resident microglia,” they wrote. According to one set of results reported in the paper, young cells transplanted into the cortical region of older mice brains showed changes in gene expression and underwent “significant” morphological changes seen with aged cortical WT microglia including reduced surface area, shorter branches, and decreased branches. These same changes were not present in microglia in the cerebellum suggesting that “local cues within the CNS drive region-specific, aging-line changes in both gene expression and morphology.”
Other findings reported in the paper include the identification of “STAT1-mediated signaling as one axis controlling microglia aging.” Both wild-type and transplanted microglia in aged brains showed “strongly induced interferon response” including increased upregulation of STAT1. Tests revealed blocking this protein’s signaling “prevented aging trajectories in reconstituted cells.”
Lastly, their experiments pointed to natural killer cells as “necessary drivers of interferon signaling in aged microglia.” This is significant because the build up of this immune cell type is linked to impaired cognition in aging humans and mice. And further, its depletion in models of Alzheimer’s disease improves cognition and reduces neuroinflammation.
Additional studies are needed to flesh out the findings reported in the current preprint. In fact, the scientists note some outstanding questions that they have related to the research. For example, the study does not explore the effects of natural cell depletion on other cell types in the brain such as oligodendrocytes. Or how myeloid cells in other brain niches respond to signals in their local environments.
However, their work could be the basis for a new crop of studies focused on “modulators of microglial aging” as well as potential targets for developing novel age-related therapeutics.
Sixty-five stories above the streets of Midtown, Bar SixtyFive at the Rainbow Room was buzzing Wednesday evening as more than 200 members of the fashion industry gathered to kick off New York Fashion Week. Renowned designers Thom Browne, Michael Kors, and Anna Sui joined Steven Kolb, CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), to host a cocktail party officially ushering in the Spring/Summer 2026 season.
“New York Fashion Week is important because it’s a celebration for the city and a moment to have people look at us,” Kolb told Vogue, taking a brief break from greeting guests. “New York is one of the four global fashion capitals and we’re the first to present collections, so we really set the pace for the next few cities. And since American fashion is so inspired by the streets and culture, we are so proud to be streaming the shows for the second time—live and free—for the public to enjoy. We are doing things differently and want to make the shows accessible to New Yorkers.”
Browne, the CFDA’s chairman, hatched the idea of screening every runway on the CFDA’s official Fashion Week calendar. Three large screens at Rockefeller Center will broadcast the shows from September 11 through 16. His intention: to raise awareness and spotlight uniquely American fashion voices.
“New York is a special and diverse city—and that’s what the designers here represent. It’s the diversity in the creativity and the strength in creativity,” Browne told Vogue soon after he mingled with Kors and Sui. “There’s so much energy with the well-established designers and also with the new designers. They all really represent true creativity at the highest level. Of course it’s not always easy for all of us, but when it comes down to it, the creativity—where it all should start—is here and stronger than ever.”
Henry Zankov, the CFDA’s Emerging Designer of the Year, is among the new guard. He’ll make his New York Fashion Week runway debut on September 15. “Surprisingly, I feel very calm,” he said, enjoying a drink near the bar. “Sometimes we are well prepared and sometimes we’re not. Right now—fingers crossed—we’re okay.” Zankov, currently in final preparations, added that his collection will introduce eveningwear. “We started that last season a little bit, with the shine, and this season it’s really more about pushing it—it felt like a natural progression.”
The cocktail soirée buzzed with animated conversations—from hectic Fashion Week schedules to up-and-comers staging their first presentations. An exuberant crowd—including Wes Gordon, Andrew Kwon, Zac Posen, Vera Wang, and Fern Mallis, the creator of New York Fashion Week—mixed and mingled over champagne, coffee Old Fashioneds, and Butterfly Tea Spritzes. CFDA board member Tory Burch caught up with Anna Wintour ahead of Kolb’s welcoming remarks about American fashion in New York City, which has “an opportunity in connecting people and providing inspiration,” he said.
Fashion Week can feel like a whirlwind—back-to-back shows and late-night after-parties—and the CFDA’s kickoff bash met the moment with copious espresso martinis, courtesy of a Starbucks station set up to energize guests. Consider it a timely reminder to fuel up as the stylish spectacle of New York Fashion Week unfolds across runways and presentations throughout the city.
When Toy Story was released in theaters on November 12, 1995, the film not only revolutionized the animation industry, but it changed the trajectories of the unproven but determined creative team who brought it to life. From Andrew Stanton and Pete Docter, the studio’s second and third animators, respectively, to Jonas Rivera, the studio’s first production intern, Toy Story was a lightning-in-a-bottle experience — one that laid the groundwork for Pixar Animation Studios to become the powerhouse studio that it is today.
Back then, though, no one knew just how pivotal Toy Story would ultimately be.
Following a $26 million deal with The Walt Disney Company to produce three features, Pixar’s small-but-mighty staff — initially, there were just three animators — pitched three concepts for its first project. Two were based on children’s books, James and the Giant Peach and Bob the Dinosaur, and the third was a “half-baked” idea about a couple of toys.
Disney greenlit the third option.
Having only produced a few commercials and shorts until that point, the pressure was on for Pixar to deliver — not that its staff felt it right away. “It felt like a bunch of people making a movie in their garage,” said Docter, who is now Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer. “We were using computers, which were fancy and unknown at the time, but other than that, it was rinky-dink. We were figuring it out as we went. It felt like we were just doing it for fun.”
Taking the Story to Infinity… and Beyond!
According to Docter, the collegiate environment inspired everyone to pitch in and take risks. But one of the biggest stumbling blocks — an infamous Black Friday screening with Disney executives prior to the start of animation — almost got the entire project canceled. The team had two weeks to turn things around, and they worked overtime to make the necessary changes. Once the story issues were resolved, the team turned their attention to the two toys at the center of the film: Woody, a pull-string cowboy sheriff voiced by Tom Hanks, and Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger action figure voiced by Disney Legend Tim Allen.
“Beyond using new technology, one of the things we tried to do was expand the boundaries of storytelling,” Docter recalled. “Because at that point, if a film was animated, it was assumed that it was a musical, that it would have certain tropes. We didn’t want to do that.”

Woody, for example, was written to be loyal, protective, and witty. But filmmakers wanted to make him more multidimensional. “He has a fear of being replaced,” said Rivera, who is now Pixar’s Executive Vice President of Production. “Everyone has felt that way at some point, whether it’s a job or a relationship. And we wrapped it up in this Toy Story package.”
The filmmakers imbued their own personalities and quirks into the characters, which is why they felt real — and why they resonated with audiences of all ages, all around the world. “I’m partial to Woody, simply because I’ve written most of what he has to say in the films,” said Stanton, now Pixar’s Vice President of Creative. “He is very much an extension of me.”
Director Jon Lasseter leads a storyboard meeting.
Docter added, “The funny thing with Toy Story, and Woody specifically, is that there just seemed to be a lot of layers, a lot new discoveries to him. Even on the first film, we could sense that he had a history. Woody has some trauma — some baggage that he’s carrying.”
Audiences instantly clicked with Woody and Buzz, as well as Hamm, the know-it-all piggybank voiced by John Ratzenberger; Rex, the fearful Tyrannosaurus voiced by Wallace Shawn; Bo Peep, the porcelain shepherdess figurine voiced by Annie Potts; and all of the other toys. “The idea of toys coming to life always clicked with audiences,” Rivera said. “It was as if they collectively said, ‘Of course! This confirms what I always thought about toys.”’
Just the Beginning
When Toy Story was released in theaters, it was an immediate and sustained sensation, generating nearly $400 million at the global box office. Toy Story became the highest-grossing film of the year and, in the decades that followed, inspired sequels, shorts, specials, and spinoffs. (Toy Story 5 is in production, releasing in theaters on June 19, 2026.) What’s more, the characters and stories became fixtures at Disney Parks around the world.
Because toys are “kind of perennial,” Stanton explained, the franchise is “something you can grow with. People who watched it as kids became parents and now watch it with their kids. We’ve created a world and a group of characters that could easily keep going forever.”

In celebration of Toy Story‘s 30th anniversary, fans have the unique chance to experience the groundbreaking animated adventure on the big screen in its original format — and, for the first time ever, in 4DX — for a limited engagement beginning Friday, September 12.
“I just have to say thank you to the fans for loving this world as much as we do,” said Stanton, who contributed to each film in the franchise and is directing Toy Story 5. “It’s very clear how sincere everybody’s fondness for these characters is, how deep their connections to them are, and we feel the same way. We can’t wait to keep these stories coming for you.”
Although fashion week had yet to begin (officially), last night felt like the true start. Uptown was buzzing with events, but the most fashionable crowd could be found beneath the Sherry-Netherland at the legendary Doubles Club, where velvet banquettes, mirrored walls, and bouquets of pink and red roses set the tone for a night in honor of Sofia Coppola. The occasion celebrated her new 450-page volume on Chanel’s Haute Couture—conceived with the House and designed by Anamaria Morris for Joseph Logan Design, and co-published by Éditions 7L and Important Flowers—in which Coppola uses her signature collage-and-assemblage eye to chart the story of Chanel through unseen sketches, photographs of clients in their looks, runway images, and archival ephemera spanning the eras of Gabrielle Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, and Virginie Viard. It’s a relationship that began when Coppola was just fifteen, interning one summer in Chanel’s Paris studio.
Guests, including Jon Hamm—in a sharp navy suit—arrived with his wife, Anna Osceola; Kirsten Dunst, luminous in black satin, greeted old friends across the dance floor. Coppola welcomed everyone in a gold Chanel lace dress, flanked by her daughters, Cosima and Romy, and her husband, musician Thomas Mars. As Dunst sat down to dinner with Coppola and Bill Murray—appetizers were shrimp cocktail and chips with caviar; the mains, Dover sole or steak—they didn’t stay seated for long: Murray took Coppola’s hand and pulled her onto the dance floor before entrées had even arrived.
Chanel transformed the club for the evening, draping it in pink and red roses that echoed Doubles’s storied wallpaper. Even the napkins were tied with velvet ribbon—a perfect Coppola-esque flourish. During dinner, Coppola toasted the friends who had gathered to celebrate her, calling out Veronica Webb—whom she first met as an “awkward teenager interning at Chanel.” “I’ll never forget seeing Veronica Webb in jeans and a T-shirt with a Chanel jacket—she was the coolest woman I’d ever seen.”
As dessert arrived—tiny, jewel-like cakes topped with whipped cream—DJ Jean d’Armes took the booth. One disco cue later, dinner gave way to the dance floor.
