KINGSTON, R.I. – July 15, 2019 — If there was a sensor small enough to interact with and enter individual cells, imagine the information that could be collected. University of Rhode Island chemical engineering assistant professor Daniel Roxbury plans to use carbon nanotubes, which are 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair, to serve

Happy Comic-Con Eve, all! I had a whole “‘Twas the night before Comic Con” bit lined up, but APPARENTLY it’s considered a faux pas to reveal the location of the annual SDCC post-Eisners key party on the internet, so you’ll have to just hang out here for a while as we pick over the list
Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games next title is a horror series called The Dark Pictures Anthology. The first installment is called Man of Medan, which will treat players to plenty of scares aboard a haunted ship. Much like Until Dawn, the games in the Dark Pictures Anthology will keep track of the player’s choices and present different versions of
When we spoke to Clark Gregg earlier in the season, we were just meeting his new character, Sarge, on Agents of SHIELD, but even as we release the full audio of that interview for our Sci Fi Fidelity podcast, we’re still learning about the guy who’s wearing Phil Coulson’s face. All of Gregg’s speculation about
We’ve got a rule ’round the old Den. It’s a simple one, easy to remember: If Denys Cowan is drawing something, buy it. If Bill Sienkiewicz is inking him, buy an extra copy. It doesn’t matter if it’s Deathstroke. Or a crossover that is ridiculous on its face, like Hong Kong Phooey/Black Lightning. Or even a
Funcom and developer Rock Pocket Games are teaming up on a new Lovecraftian cosmic horror game called Moons of Madness. “In Moons of Madness you play Shane Newehart, a technician stationed at the Invictus, a secret research base built by the Orochi group,” reads the description of the game sent via press release. “Your low-security
All Elite Wrestling continues its mission to get eyes on the product before its weekly TV show starts airing on TNT. We already had their big PPV debut Double or Nothing and their follow-up Fyter Fest. Now we’re going with another cheap-to-free show with AEW Fight for the Fallen. This one’s a charity show with
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. A Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s breakout hit The Sandman is on the way to the delight of goths and geeks alike. But what is The Sandman, and why is this comic book series such a big deal? If you’re new to the DC Universe’s most miserable cosmic entity,
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Super Lucky’s Tale was an Xbox One exclusive when it first launched in 2017, but now a fresh, expanded version of the game is headed to Nintendo Switch. Set to launch in fall 2019, this new take is titled New Super Lucky’s Tale. Nintendo’s official website
From everything we’ve heard, the hotly-anticipated Star Trek: Picard series will happen in the aftermath of Jean-Luc (Patrick Stewart) having made some questionable choices. Based on that new poster, he’s doing OK (getting a cute dog is never a bad decision), but, if you think about it, Picard has never been great at making decisions on his
Sewing is a bit arcane for people, like myself, who aren’t particularly good at it. I can sew badges onto a Girl Scout uniform and hem pants if pressed, but create a whole new article of clothing? It’s beyond me. There are plenty of wizards in my social circle who have this skillset, and it
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Microsoft has announced a Pokemon Go-like mobile game called Minecraft Earth. “We have covered the entire planet in Minecraft,” says Minecraft Earth director Torfi Olafsson in an interview with The Verge. “Every lake is a place you can fish, every park is a place you can chop down trees.

This iZombie review contains spoilers. iZombie Season 5, Episode 10 It’s pretty interesting to watch a film noir-inspired episode of iZombie when Rob Thomas’ other film noir-inspired show, Veronia Mars, is about to come back for a fourth season. Unlike Veronica Mars, or even the earlier, more noir-ish Season 1 episodes of iZombie, “Night and The Zombie

The Boys will unleash an unapologetically ultraviolent response to the entertainment industry’s seemingly interminable array of live-action superhero fare with a TV series created by Supernatural and Timeless‘s Eric Kripke, adapting the bleak comic book series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Yet, with news arriving of an addition to the cast of the series,
Greg Russo, the writer of the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot, has confirmed on Twitter that the movie will be R-Rated and that the film will feature on-screen fatalities.

HOUSTON – (July 12, 2019) – The ever-more-humble carbon nanotube may be just the device to make solar panels – and anything else that loses energy through heat – far more efficient. Rice University scientists are designing arrays of aligned single-wall carbon nanotubes to channel mid-infrared radiation (aka heat) and greatly raise the efficiency of
President Trump has named two George Washington University professors winners of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE): Chunlei Liang, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Volker J.

For some phenomena in quantum many-body physics several competing theories exist. But which of them describes a quantum phenomenon best? A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Harvard University in the United States has now successfully deployed artificial neural networks for image analysis of quantum systems. Is that a dog
Zack Snyder, the director of big DC projects like Justice League and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, now wants to head to Asgard – but not Marvel’s version of Asgard.
