Creatively tiling a bathroom floor isn’t just a stressful task for DIY home renovators. It is also one of the hardest problems in mathematics. For centuries, experts have been studying the special properties of tile shapes that can cover floors, kitchen backsplashes or infinitely large planes without leaving any gaps. Specifically, mathematicians are interested in tile shapes that can cover the whole plane without ever creating a repeating design. In these special cases, called aperiodic tilings, there’s no pattern that you can copy and paste to keep the tiling going. No matter how you chop up the mosaic, each section…

Jennifer Garner is not an outfit repeater. On April 11, the “The Last Thing He Told Me” star stepped out for a press day in a series of chic ensembles, including a rhinestone corset dress by Roland Mouret that she wore on her way to “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” The edgy midi dress was a departure from Garner’s classically elegant style, and the surprises kept coming when she spun around to share a glimpse at the piece from behind. Garner’s outfit featured a fitted bodice with angular detailing along the bust. The internal corset gave the dress a…
You may have noticed some impressive video memes made with AI in recent weeks. Harry Potter reimagined as a Balenciaga commercial and nightmarish footage of Will Smith eating spaghetti both recently went viral. They highlight how quickly AI’s ability to create video is advancing, as well as how problematic some uses of the technology may be.These videos remind me of the moment AI image-making tools became widespread last year, when programs like Craiyon (formerly known as DALL-E Mini) let anyone conjure up recognizable, if crude and often surreal, images, such as surveillance footage of babies robbing a gas station, Darth Vadar courtroom sketches, and Elon Musk eating…
Metallica may be the biggest band in heavy music, but even they have peers that they look up to. During an appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast (seen and heard below), drummer Lars Ulrich gave a nod of respect to U2.The compliment came up as Ulrich and Maher were discussing the relationship dynamic within most acts, with Maher noting that most are on the verge of splitting at any given time. That’s when Ulrich singled out U2 as one of the bands that famously got along well and has the dynamic that they and most bands would hope to…

Scientists have developed new technology to help couples undergoing in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) due to male fertility problems to increase their chances of success in having a baby. Approximately one in six people worldwide is affected by infertility, according to the World Health Organization, and one in every 22 children in Australia is born via assisted reproduction. With a 78% failure rate, each IVF cycle can be an emotional rollercoaster that often ends in heartbreak. “Male infertility plays a role in around 30% of cases, due to problems such as low sperm count, reduced motility or movement or poor sperm quality,”…

Android 13 (Go edition) was announced by Google as the latest version of its Android software for entry-level devices. The new version of Android Go was announced two months after the release of Android 13, and comes with interesting updates and new features for ‘Go devices’.

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Africa is the world’s most diverse continent for large mammals such as antelopes, zebras and elephants.

Other giants across African continent include hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses and giraffes. So, it is only in Africa that ecological interactions and dynamics…
BookTrib is proud to present to our readers the Writers, Ink podcast, a show about the business of writing. J.K. Rowling was nearly homeless when she wrote the first Harry Potter book.

Whether you’re traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author. The days of just turning a manuscript in to your editor and walking away are gone. If…

Make no mistake—maxi skirts are having a moment this season. Between the spring/summer 2023 runways and popular Instagram looks, last season’s micro minis are rapidly becoming a distant memory as long lengths come to the fore. As a petite person, you might be able to understand the initial hesitation I felt regarding the maxi skirt’s return—let’s face it, mucky hemlines never look chic—but having tried on a few styles over the past few weeks, I’ve seriously come round to them. So much so, I even bought one (which regular readers of my shopping column will know, it takes something pretty special indeed…
Sacha Baron Cohen might be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadline cites an unnamed source close to production, who claims that the Borat star is likely to play Mephisto on Ironheart, the Dominique Thorne-led series, which will branch out of the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While not as concrete as usual reports, it claims that the actor was recently spotted at the Marvel facilities, at the UK’s Pinewood Studios. Better take this with a pinch of salt, as Marvel is notorious for deliberately “leaking” misinformation. Ironheart is part of Marvel’s Phase 5 lineup and is slated to release in…

A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) provides strong evidence of the importance of a healthy lifestyle for adults who were treated for cancer as children. The study is the first to find that the specific primary causes of death in long term survivors are many of the same leading causes of death in the U.S. population, often occurring at younger than expected ages. It also found that adult survivors of childhood cancer experience four times the risk of late mortality as the general population, even 40 years after diagnosis. However, the study contains reason for hope: survivors…
