Photography by Getty Images It seems opposites really do attract. By Natalie Michie Date May 12, 2023 It’s hard to be a celebrity in a relationship, I assume. Your dating timeline is basically public knowledge. Slightly humiliating monikers like “Bennifer” and “Tay-Squared” are unavoidable. And your street style as a couple is treated as a marker of your compatibility. But Hailey and Justin Bieber — in all their mismatched glory — don’t seem phased by this.

In 2021, Facebook made “metaverse” the buzziest word on the web, rebranding itself as Meta and announcing a plan to build “a set of interconnected digital spaces that lets you do things you can’t do in the physical world.” Since then, the metaverse has been called many different things. Some say it is the “future of the internet.” Others call it “an amorphous concept that no one really wants.” For Diego Gómez-Zará, an assistant professor in the University of Notre Dame’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the metaverse is something else: a tool for better science. In “The Promise…
Dangerous Blues by Stephen Policoff Stephen Policoff’s Dangerous Blues (Flexible Press) comes with the unique subtitle of “Kind of a Ghost Story.” It’s hard for the book to not be, at least partially, a ghost story — because the protagonist keeps seeing the specter of his late wife. But the book is also a touching portrait of a young parent trying to find himself and cope with great loss, or a coming of age story of a middle-grade girl who has lost her mom, or a tale of New York with a gritty feel for the streets, the clubs, the…
Batting Performance by Position. Credit: Organization Science (2023). 10.1287/orsc.2023.1680 Venturing out of one’s comfort zone to perform a task—and then performing poorly in that task, such as a baseball pitcher trying to hit—can lead to better performance when returning to one’s specialty, new research suggests. Brittany Bond, an assistant professor of organizational behavior in the ILR School, and Ethan J. Poskanzer of the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado argue that this phenomenon occurs through a process they call “forced task inferiority,” in which underperformance in tasks outside their specialty frustrates specialists, generating heightened drive that they…

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Tom Holland’s Spider-Man on the big screen. Unfortunately, it might be longer than we’d like until he shows up again. The good news is, we have a potential release date for the next movie. One of the most exciting things about the next entry in the series is that it’s expected to take place in a street-level environment.

Credit: National Institute of Standards and Technology Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and KLA Corporation, a provider of inspection and measurement systems for the semiconductor and related industries, have improved the accuracy of scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements. Used for process control applications in semiconductor manufacturing, SEMs help ensure high-yield production of functional, high-performance chips. A SEM uses a focused electron beam to image features as small as one nanometer, making it an important instrument for characterizing semiconductor device structures. During chip manufacturing, high-resolution SEMs are used for many inspection and…
Can water wash away all crimes, or will clever detectives and sleuths be able to dredge up the truth once and for all? In these mystery novels, the water isn’t necessarily the killer — but it plays a major role in the crime. There’s something haunting about novels where a body floats downriver, never to be seen again. Or maybe the water is a convenient excuse or a perfect alibi — a boating accident, a powerful current, rough waves and inconveniently located rocks … Did the victim swim to safety, or did they meet an untimely demise under the watery…

Perry, who has served as a judge on the hit reality competition show since 2018, has received criticism this season for some of the comments she’s made toward contestants. At one point, she was even booed by the live audience for telling singer Nutsa Buzaladze to tone down the glitter.

Butterflies, bees, and even bats are celebrated as pollinators: creatures that travel from flower to flower to feed, and in the process, help fertilize the plants by spreading pollen. But some of nature’s most diverse pollinators often go unnoticed, even by scientists: long-snouted beetles called weevils. A new study in the journal Peer Community in Ecology provides a deep dive into the more than 600 species of weevils, including ones whose entire life cycles are interwoven with a specific plant that they help pollinate. “Even people who work on pollination don’t usually consider weevils as one of the main pollinators,…

Heavy Song of the Week is a feature on Heavy Consequence breaking down the top metal and hard rock tracks you need to hear every Friday. This week the top spot goes to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s “Dragon.” King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are able to maintain such a prolific rate of output due in part to their ability to shapeshift between a seemingly endless lexicon of genres and styles. For example, on 2019’s Infest the Rats’ Nest, the Aussies tried their hand at heavy metal, channeling the likes of Metallica and Mastodon through KGLW’s own twisted…
Christopher Nolan explained his choice to use black and white scenes in his upcoming historical thriller Oppenheimer.

Nolan recently spoke with AP News about shooting the film in IMAX, as well as his creative choices on the page and on the screen. “I knew that I had two timelines that we were running in the film,” Nolan said. “One is in color, and that’s Oppenheimer’s subjective experience. That’s the bulk of…

Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida, surely hoped to trend on Twitter after announcing his run for president in an audio stream on the platform today. He likely did not want to see the top hashtag be #DeSaster.Just minutes after DeSantis joined the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, on Twitter Spaces, and before the politician could even speak, Musk could be heard saying, “The servers are straining somewhat.” Then the stream abruptly ended, apparently overwhelmed by some 667,000 listeners, a paltry number compared to the streams on other platforms routinely watched by millions. DeSantis’ appearance was a gamble on a novel presidential campaign…
Scientists in Finland have developed a nanodevice that can measure the absolute power of microwave radiation down to the femtowatt level at ultra-low temperatures — a scale trillion times lower than routinely used in verifiable power measurements. The device has the potential to significantly advance microwave measurements in quantum technology. Measuring extremely low power Quantum science takes place mostly at ultra-low temperatures using devices called dilution refrigerators. The experiments also have to be done at tiny energy levels — down to the energy level of single photons or even less. Researchers have to measure these extremely low energy levels as…
