It’s been six years since indie darling Alex Ross Perry whet his band-movie palette with the odious ace Her Smell. Ever since, the writer/​director/​producer has kept almost exclusively to directing music videos. Or so it seemed. As it turns out, Perry has been hard at work on a sprawling, singular band-movie project – a major stylistic departure and a magnum opus to date for the once-post-mumblecore filmmaker – Pavements.For those that don’t know going in (like me), Pavement – or ​“The Slacker Rolling Stones of the 90s” as a talking head describes them – are one of the great disrupters of rock music history,…

Paris may be known for its ballet flats—the shoe practically synonymous with the city’s signature brand of understated elegance and has become a regular sighting whenever I peruse street style from the French capital—but this week, during Couture Fashion Week, a different style has been stepping into the spotlight.(Image credit: Getty Images)Gold heeled summer sandals have quietly but confidently established themselves as the footwear of choice among the best-dressed attendees at various shows, and while they may lack the practical appeal of flats for navigating cobblestones and dashing between runways, what they offer in return is something distinctly Parisian: instant…

Smooth horsetail plants have segmented stemspiemags/nature/Alamy A strange plant that has existed since animals first walked on land can distil water to an extreme degree, making it look more like water from meteorites than regular water from Earth. As well as being key to understanding ecosystems today, the plant’s fossilised remains could shed light on Earth’s climate and water systems when dinosaurs were alive. Almost all the oxygen atoms in water have eight neutrons, but some are rare, heavier isotopes with nine or 10 neutrons. When water evaporates, lighter isotopes evaporate more than the heavier ones, making the ratio change…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain When people take antibiotics, some of the dose is excreted with urine and feces and ends up in our wastewater. The presence of this low dose of antibiotic creates an opportunity for resistant bacteria to evolve. Scientists studying antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wastewater at a treatment plant discovered multi-drug-resistant strains of bacterial species which are usually not dangerous to healthy people, but which could transmit genes for antibiotic resistance to much more dangerous bacteria like E. coli. The scientists then challenged the bacteria with natural compounds which could potentially be included in wastewater treatment to kill off…

There are many criticisms that could be rightfully levelled at James Gunn: that his humour is puerile; that his aesthetic is chaotic; and that he was a disaster on Twitter. But watching his new era of Superman come to the screen, it’s clear the man does know how to have fun. Rather than a dour, trauma-based origin story, his Superman kicks off with the Man of Steel (played by David Corenswet) already an established figure, known and loved across the globe as one of many ​“meta-humans” who populate this reality. His alter ego, Clark Kent, is scoring front pages at The Daily Planet, and he’s three months…
