Check the active imaging area specified for the sensor inside a Sony RX100 and you get 13.2 x 8.8 mm, with a diagonal of about 15.86 mm. That is close to 16 mm, not the 25.4 mm that an inch is supposed to be. The “1 inch” printed on the spec sheet does not describe any dimension of the imaging area, and the reason runs all the way back to a glass vacuum tube that stopped being manufactured decades ago.Measure a 1-Inch Sensor’s Imaging Area and You Get 16 MillimetersThe active imaging area of a typical 1-inch type sensor, the…
‘It’s so important to talk about this before it’s gone,” says Francie Medosch, singer, guitarist and songwriter of the band Florry, “because it’s really a flash in the pan.” The flash she means is a brief moment where it feels as though on both sides of the Atlantic, scores of exciting indie bands are playing something that, without slavish copying, has plainly drawn inspiration from alt-country, the music that emerged in the US in the late 1980s and early 90s, when former punks such as Uncle Tupelo – featuring future Wilco co-founder Jeff Tweedy – and the Bottle Rockets picked…

The results of the eight-year study, led by Paul Taçon, an archaeologist at Griffith University, were published online by the journal Australian Archaeology August 14. Awunbarna is a landmark located in the northwestern region of Arnhem Land in Australia’s Northern Territory.

Soon the US will cross the point where half its population were born after 11 September 2001 or were too young to remember the day that terrorists crashed planes into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in northern Virginia and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.“When I do that math, I get to the bomb at Hiroshima – that’s how distant it is,” says Brian Knappenberger, 56, director of a new Netflix documentary, Turning Point: Generation 9/11. “When we talk about the second world war, for our generation it…

Burnham had as early as 2002 said he supported the Parthenon marbles’ return to Greece, reupping that statement as recently as 2023. At the time, he added that their return should be “no strings attached.” However, when asked by the FT in an interview last month about his current stance on the subject, Burnham told the paper, “Ultimately it’s an issue for the British Museum, isn’t it?
