I’m a sucker for fairy tale retellings, from Cinderella to LGBTQ and gender-flipped iterations. What can I say? As far as I’m concerned, there are never enough. As long as there are writers and storytellers there will be creative new takes on the classic stories passed down through the generations. One of those stories that is told time and time again is the story of Little Red Riding Hood. A girl on her way to take some goodies to her sick grandmother is told not to stray from the path…but when she meets a wolf on the way, she doesn’t…
Wolf Pack comes to Paramount+ in the new year, bringing Sarah Michelle Gellar back to the world of the supernatural. While Wolf Pack is created by the man behind Teen Wolf, Jeff Davis, and both focus on teen werewolves, the stories aren’t connected. Davis, Gellar, and the rest of the cast explained how Wolf Pack is a whole new bag to Andrea Towers in TV Insider and TV Guide Magazine’s studio at New York Comic Con 2022. For starters, Wolf Pack‘s streaming platform allows for one big thing broadcast TV didn’t: swearing. Davis is thankful for this merciful change, though…
Immunotherapy, a biotherapy that boosts the ability of the immune system to recognize and attack mutant tumor cells, has transformed the treatment landscape for patients battling cancer, which emerges from the progressive accumulation of DNA mutations. However, many patients do not respond to immunotherapy. For instance, among highly-mutated colorectal and endometrial cancers, research has shown that only half will show a response to immunotherapy. A new study by Yale School of Medicine researchers published Oct. 27 in the journal Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, has identified a possible explanation for why this happens. In…

Racial inequity biases algorithms, skews Covid-19 death rates, and exacerbates the digital divide. Your race is even a good predictor of what’s in the air you breathe—and now, a new study shows that those pollution concentrations are also tied to how segregated your community is.ContentThis content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.Using five years’ worth of data, a team led by scientists at Colorado State University confirmed a long-suspected link between ambient air quality and racial residential segregation.

Earlier this week, Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen revealed that she was set to undergo surgery after recently being diagnosed with breast cancer. Now, having the cancerous tumor removed, Jansen has checked in via social media with an update.”The tumor removal surgery went well without any surprises,” says the singer. “I’m recovering well and should be up and about soon. It will take a few weeks to know what the findings are regarding the tumor and lymph node that will be tested. I’ll keep you posted.”The vocalist continued, “I want to use this opportunity to thank the medical staff that took…

Hell of Hosanna by Kip Langton What’s it About? A futuristic phenomenon comparable to the iconic works of Brave New World, 1984 and Citizen Kane, and reminiscent of the final scene of Planet of the Apes when Charlton Heston stumbles on the ruins of the Statue of Liberty. Have you ever been in such awe of a book that you couldn’t find the right word to describe it? (Not a good place to be if you write reviews for a living!) Maybe the word doesn’t exist yet. Remember the classic Woody Allen movie Annie Hall when Alvy tells Annie that…
Both Thony and Nadia played dangerous games with Robert. If he figures out their plan, he won’t be merciful. Thony turned to Robert for assistance returning to Manilla for medicine when Luca became sicker on The Cleaning Lady Season 2 Episode 9. TV Fanatics Jasmine Peterson, Whitney Evans, and Laura Nowak discuss if Nadia is playing a dangerous game between two men, if Thony has turned to the dark side, and what Garrett will do next.

A UNSW paper published recently in Nature Reviews Materials presents an exciting overview of the emerging field of 2D ferroelectric materials with layered van-der-Waals crystal structures: a novel class of low-dimensional materials that is highly interesting for future nanoelectronics. Future applications include ultra-low energy electronics, high-performance, non-volatile data-storage, high-response optoelectronics, and flexible (energy-harvesting or wearable) electronics. Structurally different from conventional oxide ferroelectrics with rigid lattices, van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectrics have stable layered structures with a combination of strong intralayer and weak interlayer forces. These special atomic arrangements, in combination with the ferroelectric order, give rise to fundamentally new phenomena…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Killer Storm? While I was looking for an idea for the fourth Fin Fleming Scuba Diving book, I was scrolling through old pictures of dive trips for inspiration. I came across an old photo of one of the divemasters at a resort we’d stayed at. He’d been securing the boats ahead of the storm, but the storm had caught up to him. He was running back from the pier, racing to the shore, with the storm nipping at his heels. Instantly, I said “That’s Fin trying to outrace the…
The second season of the hit Disney+ series Loki landed another TV star familiar to fans of genre fare: Game of Thrones alum Kate Dickie.

The Marvel series’ Season 2 cast also includes Owen Wilson, Gugu…
Astronomers estimate that roughly 85% of all the matter in the universe is dark matter, meaning only 15% of all matter is normal matter. Accounting for dark energy, the name astronomers give to the accelerated expansion of the universe, dark matter makes up roughly 27% of all the mass energy in the cosmos, according to CERN (opens in new tab) (the European Organization for Nuclear Research).Astronomers have a variety of tools to measure the total amount of matter in the universe and compare that to the amount of “normal” (also called “baryonic”) matter. The simplest technique is to compare two…
I’ve worked in fashion for 10 years, and people always ask me the same question: What have you been buying recently? No matter who’s asking (my mom, my friends, my boyfriend with trepidation), they usually expect me to say something outlandish, wild or extravagant. But much to their surprise, I’ve really started to hone my wardrobe rather than endlessly add to it. Recently, I’ve realised that creating a considered capsule of elevated staples that transcend seasons and seasonal trends is the smarter, more mature way to shop. So Mum, if you’re reading, here’s your answer…One brand I go back to…

Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is still a hard-to-solve problem. An article published in the journal Nature Communications presents a method to infer the dimensionality of complex networks through the application of hyperbolic geometrics, which capture the complexity of relational structures of the real world in many diverse domains. Among the authors of the study are the researchers M. Ángeles Serrano and Marián Boguñá, from the Faculty of Physics and the Institute of Complex Systems of the…
