Scientific ties can be a stabilising force in relations between China and the US but as the two countries jostle for a hi-tech edge, maintaining these links will mean going beyond simple competition versus cooperation.

But here, at the edge of the Angeles National Forest, she stands out, a metal box of human nostalgia set against brush and trees. Emergency-minded—intended for people coming on and off the rugged trail—it’s become a beloved part of the local landscape over time; the kind of object people notice, photograph, and review online (yes, it has Google reviews). But look closer and there’s something else: a sticker inviting visitors to say goodbye. This is The Goodbye Line, a guerrilla, participatory art project and human archive created by Adam Trunell and Alexis Wood. The project uses working payphones as physical portals where strangers…

The first 48-team World Cup had its positives and negatives – do we need to brace for a 64-team future? It was less than 12 months after Gianni Infantino succeeded Sepp Blatter as president that Fifa announced the expansion of the men’s World Cup from 32 to 48 teams. The reaction was mixed. Diego Maradona said he was “delighted by Gianni’s initiative” because it allowed each country to dream of reaching the tournament, renewing their passion for football. Joachim Löw, then in charge of the world champions Germany, said: “I don’t think it’s a good idea to dilute the sporting value … In the long term, the quality suffers.” On the evidence of the first 48-team edition, won by Spain after 104 games across five-and-a-half weeks in North America, it’s fair to conclude Maradona and Löw both had…
