These Jordans Come With More Accessories Than My Phone Did

I can’t believe Nike’s churned out 27 different Air Jordans already.

A new measurement tool that uses light detection and ranging (or LiDAR) can show how earthquakes have changed the landscape down to a few inches—and that can help us prepare for difficult-to-predict earthquakes.
