“Dead Static Drive is Grand Theft Cthulhu”, reads the official description of the first trailer for an upcoming indie game called Dead Static Drive. And if that isn’t enough to grab your attention, we don’t know what is. Come on, it’s Grand Theft Auto but with creepy creatures in it! Yep, this really is a game
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – In a recent study, University of Arkansas physics researchers found evidence of an inverse transition in ferroelectric ultrathin films, which could lead to advances in development of data storage, microelectronics and sensors. “We found that a disordered labyrinthine phase transforms into the more ordered parallel-stripe structure upon raising the temperature,” said Yousra Nahas,

Materials called perovskites show strong potential for a new generation of solar cells, but they’ve had trouble gaining traction in a market dominated by silicon-based solar cells. Now, a study by researchers at MIT and elsewhere outlines a roadmap for how this promising technology could move from the laboratory to a significant place in the

This Nancy Drew review contains spoilers. Nancy Drew Episode 13 Perhaps we should have known from the start that a Nancy Drew episode in which the Drew Crew teams up with an insane asylum patient to rescue a Nancy trapped in an alternate reality is, by its very nature, going to be a weird one.
Phil Spencer, Microsoft’s head of gaming and therefore the overlord of all things Xbox, has thrown some serious shade at Sony and Nintendo. Even though the Xbox Series X is due to launch around the same time as the PS5, into a market where the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite have both sold very
If the mystery at the center core of HBO’s The Outsider is keeping you up at night, there’s a good reason. It may be a part of our collective subconscious. The series is based on the book The Outsider by Stephen King. The scripts are written by Richard Price, who wrote HBO’s The Night Of and The
On the recently launched PS5 website, Sony promised that “the upcoming roster of PS5 launch games” will be revealed soon. At the time of this writing, there have been no launch title exclusives announced for the PlayStation 5. But the fact that Sony has been so tight-lipped about its next-gen console’s launch lineup has us

Generating electricity from raindrops efficiently has gone one step further. A research team led by scientists from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently developed a droplet-based electricity generator (DEG), featured with a field-effect transistor (FET)-like structure that allows for high energy-conversion efficiency and instantaneous power density increased by thousands times compared to
When metal atoms form small clusters of a particular size, they show interesting and potentially useful electromagnetic characteristics, which are different from those of the actual bulk metal. To fully explore the potential of these properties, it is necessary to find ways to assemble precise macroscopic structures out of these clusters. But, how do these

Diamond is prized by scientists and jewellers alike, largely for a range of extraordinary properties including exceptional hardness. Now a team of Australian scientists has discovered diamond can be bent and deformed, at the nanoscale at least. The discovery opens up a range of possibilities for the design and engineering of new nanoscale devices in
