Love, Simon was one of the sweetest surprises of 2018. The Greg Berlanti-directed adaptation of Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, did well both critically and commercially and has led to a further expansion of the on-screen world. Last year, Hulu announced they would be making a TV show sequel for Disney+. In
No celebration of the history of Green Lantern would be complete without acknowledging Dwayne McDuffie. McDuffie was a titan in both the comic book and animation industries before he passed in 2011, co-founding Milestone Comics and helping turn Milestone character Static into a successful, beloved Saturday morning cartoon (Static Shock), among a myriad of other
BlizzCon 2020 has officially been cancelled due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19. “Ultimately, after considering our options, we’ve come to the very difficult decision to not have BlizzCon this year,” says Saralyn Smith, Executive Producer of BlizzCon, via a recent blog post. “We’re feeling deeply disappointed about this decision, and imagine many of

For the first time, scientists have introduced minuscule tracking devices directly into the interior of mammalian cells, giving an unprecedented peek into the processes that govern the beginning of development. This work on one-cell embryos is set to shift our understanding of the mechanisms that underpin cellular behaviour in general, and may ultimately provide insights

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have created a whole new library of atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) materials using a novel and powerful approach of engineering the composition of transition metal dichalcogenides. Materials that are atomically thin offer a platform to explore a wide range of intriguing physical properties and could provide many

The H+ proton consists of a single ion of hydrogen, the smallest and lightest of all the chemical elements. These protons occur naturally in water where a tiny proportion of H2O molecules separate spontaneously. Their amount in a liquid determines whether the solution is acidic or basic. Protons are also extremely mobile, moving through water
At any given moment, a variety of dynamic processes occur inside a cell, with many developing over time. Because current research methods for gene profiling or protein analysis destroy the cell, study is confined to just that one moment in time, and researchers are unable to return to the cell to examine how things change
This spoiler-free Alex Rider review is based on episodes 1-4. For UK kids born after 1990, and parents and teachers of the same, Anthony Horowitz’s bestselling Alex Rider books need no introduction. School libraries keep multiple spine-cracked, Sellotape-repaired copies. ‘Stormbreaker’ posters decorate classroom walls, and in schools around the country, tie-in ‘Scorpia’ key stage worksheets are photocopied by the
This RUN review contains spoilers. Run Season 1 Episode 7 “Trick” is the season finale of Run, but you’d be forgiven if you didn’t realize that. Personally, after the episode aired, I had to check HBO’s schedule to be sure that another episode wasn’t coming next Sunday. The half-hour concluded with Ruby walking away from

This RICK AND MORTY review contains spoilers. Rick and Morty Season 4 Episode 9 It was starting to get noticeable and a little weird that the rest of the Smith family have been largely absent for much of season four.

Varennes, May 25 2020 – Australian and Canadian researchers led by Prof David J. Moss at Swinburne University of Technology and honorary professor at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) was able to achieve world record-high data transmission over 75 km of standard optical fibre using a powerful class of micro-comb called soliton
This Siren review contains spoilers. Siren Season 3, Episode 9 In the world of Siren, the military is cartoonishly incompetent and somehow always ill-equipped, despite being the catalyst for the entire plot of the show. In last week’s episode, Xander answers a call, hears a song, then collapses with blood trickling from his ear. Tia’s
Score another victory to the undead! FX has renewed its superb vampire mockumentary series What We Do in the Shadows for a third season.

Season two of History’s Project Blue Book is over, and unless the show is picked up elsewhere, this could be the end of our UFO hunting dynamic duo. We caught up with Project Blue Book creator/writer/executive producer David O’Leary and showrunner/executive Producer Sean Jablonski to talk about what’s next in an interview Den of Geek
Prodigal Son proved to be a unique offering in a small screen sea flowing with genre-similar crime procedurals, standing out as a successful freshman offering for Fox after its debut this past fall. While the network was quick to capitalize on that success by giving the series a backorder for more episodes, it stopped short
As you probably guessed from our quarantine binge reading guides, I’ve spent my social distancing digging through some utterly fantastic older books. It’s made evident the stark differences in tone between eras of comics. One thing I’ve noticed is the really good creators knew what the dominant tone of the era was, and knew how
Following recent reports of the game’s troubled development, it now seems that Otherside Entertainment has passed the rights to System Shock 3 (and potentially the System Shock series) to publisher Tencent. “Tencent will be taking the [System Shock] franchise forward,” says Otherside Entertainment via Twitter. “As a smaller Indie studio, it had been challenging for

Most technologies today rely on devices that transport energy in the form of light, radio, or mechanical waves. However, these wave-guiding channels are susceptible to disorder and damage, either in manufacturing or after they are deployed in harsh environments. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s Grainger College of Engineering have experimentally demonstrated a
