**Valentine's Day Sales, Olympic Action, & Diamond Sparkle!**

Winter Olympics and Valentine's Day Deals Dominate Headlines

As athletes from around the world prepared to arrive in Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics, concerns about climate change and its impact on the Games took center stage, while shoppers sought out deals for Valentine's Day. The Italian Alps, the site of the Olympics, had experienced unusually warm weather around the holidays, according to Time, raising worries about snow levels. Simultaneously, consumers were looking for gifts, with many Valentine's Day items on sale, according to Wired.

The Winter Olympics faced challenges due to rising temperatures. February temperatures in Cortina, the host city, had warmed 6.4 degrees Fahrenheit since the town first hosted the Winter Olympics in 1956, research from Climate Central revealed, as reported by Time. This warming trend was not isolated to Cortina, as climate change impacted winter weather globally. Athletes were advocating for climate action to ensure the Games' survival.

Meanwhile, Valentine's Day shoppers had a variety of options. Wired reported that the WIRED Reviews team had found numerous deals on gifts, including those for lovers, date-night boxes, and sex toys. The article advised shoppers to purchase gifts soon to ensure they arrived before February 14th.

In other news, a jewelry brand popular among celebrities like Emma Stone and Reese Witherspoon unveiled a "paperclip" diamond bracelet for Valentine's Day, according to Variety. The sustainable jewelry brand VRAI had long been a favorite among Hollywood stars.

In Ukraine, residents found ways to maintain morale. On a frozen river in Kyiv, dance parties were held to keep spirits and bodies warm after Russian strikes damaged the energy grid, as reported by NPR.

Finally, in the realm of science, a new study revealed that nanoparticles of a single chemical element could have markedly different properties from larger chunks of the same element, according to Nature News. For example, sodium nanoparticles melt at 7 degrees Celsius, while bulk sodium melts at around 98 degrees Celsius.
