A super-sized atom plus a cold ion have been combined to make a completely new molecule that is 4 micrometres across and makes extremely long molecular bonds Chemistry 27 May 2022 By Karmela Padavic-Callaghan Artist’s impression of trapped super-sized atomsCelina Brandes/University of Stuttgart A completely new kind of molecule has been made by combining an extremely cold ion and a super-sized atom. The unusual molecular bond between the two particles was thousands of times longer than those in most room-temperature molecules, and the method to make and study it could kick-start a new branch of ultracold quantum chemistry. Molecules form…

TV can be a tricky business — one day you’re preparing for a season finale episode, and the next the episode becomes the series finale when the show gets canceled. That is exactly the case with CBS’ United States of Al, which received the ax from CBS just one week out from its season-ender. The comedy, which premiered in April 2021 as a midseason replacement, centers on combat veteran Riley (Parker Young) and the interpreter he’d befriended in Afghanistan, Awalmir (aka Al, played by Adhir Kalyan), whom he welcomes into his family’s Ohio home, with much of the humor coming…

Ever since 2017’s Colossal came out, I’ve been trying to find people to share it with. I’ve run into a wall. The people for whom the story might resonate are the ones most uncomfortable with watching it. And the people who would get the most out of internalizing its message about the destructive nature of toxic masculinity are the ones completely dumbfounded by what it has to say. Few are in a place to really benefit from it.Men seems doomed to suffer a similar fate.The film, written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation), is a horror movie that,…
KISS have been around for nearly five decades now, and they’re currently in the midst of their final tour. While Gene Simmons has admitted that he’s going to be very emotional during their last show, he assured that the band is retiring out of self-respect and love for their fans.”The reason for stopping touring is because of pride and self-respect and a love and admiration for the fans. The last thing you wanna be is to be a world-champion boxer and stay in the ring too long. It’s only a matter of time until your legs are not gonna be able…
ComingSoon Associate Editor Spencer Legacy spoke to Shoresy stars Tasya Teles, Blair Lamora, and Keilani Rose about their characters and the show. Shoresy will debut on Hulu on May 27, 2022.“Foul-mouthed, chirp-serving, mother-loving Shoresy join the Sudbury Bulldogs of the Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization (The NOSHO) on a quest to never lose again,” says the official series synopsis.Spencer Legacy: Tasya, your character is probably the toughest person on the show. You don’t take any flack from Shoresy or anybody and you run a team from behind the scenes. Is that resilience what appealed to you about the role?Tasya Teles: Oh yeah, a hundred…
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for chronic pain involves delivering low levels of electricity directly into the spinal cord using an implanted device, which modifies or blocks nerve activity to minimize the sensation of pain reaching the brain. The approach is most often used after nonsurgical pain treatment options have failed to provide sufficient relief. The underlying mechanisms of how SCS works are not fully understood, but in a new paper published in the April 28, 2022 online issue of the journal Bioelectronic Medicine, a research team led by scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine report high-frequency…
Claire Ahn, author with Penguin Random HouseFor fans of Anna and the French Kiss and Loveboat Taipei, this effervescent debut takes readers on a journey to the place where trends are born—Seoul, Korea—where Melody Lee unwillingly moves with her family and must start a new life, a new school…and maybe a new romance. I like to keep an eye on cover trends because I think they can be fun to watch, and because sometimes they can be weirdly, delightfully specific. The latest one I couldn’t help but notice this spring is something I’ve affectionally come to call “flower face covers.”…

If you’ve ever had an imaginary argument in your head, you may have “heard” two voices at once. Your own inner voice and that of the other person in the quarrel. You may even “hear” the other person’s accent, or the timbre of their voice.So what’s happening in the brain when that inner monologue is running? How is it that you can “hear” your thoughts? As it turns out, the brain undergoes similar processes when you’re thinking words as when you’re speaking out loud.Inner monologues are thought to be a simulation of overt speech, said Hélène Loevenbruck, a senior neurolinguistics researcher…
Hands up who already has multiple wedding invites in their diaries? This year is of course busier than the previous two, and with so many upcoming occasions, what do we wear for all of them?

When Iron Maiden reunited with longtime vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith in 1999 for the Ed Hunter tour, fans were thrilled to see the majority of the lineup that brought the world such great albums as Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind and Powerslave.Sure, drummer Nicko McBrain was absent from the legendary Number of the Beast and there was an extra guitarist in the band by the time Smith came back, but axeman Janick Gers’ flash and agility nicely complimented the dual attack of Smith and Dave Murray.The more significant cause for celebration was Dickinson’s return after…
The following post contains SPOILERS for the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Don’t send an Inquisitor after us just because it reveals some plot points from the first two episodes. We warned you.While some of the Star Wars villains known as the Inquisitors have appeared in previous animated TV series and video games, the character known as Third Sister — AKA Reva, played by Moses Ingram — is a new creation in this universe.

Friendships are the first relationships we choose for ourselves and often the first ones that we have to work out for ourselves (unlike family relationships, where we’re likely to be following existing relationship patterns). While some kids fall into friendships as easily as blinking, others might find it a little more difficult to build lasting bonds with new peers and classmates. Friendship dramas and fallouts can be a lot to deal with, particularly at a young age, but at the same time, the…

Kristina Carlson didn’t think much about the tick she pulled off her torso while she was hiking in the mountains of North Carolina in September 2020. But back home in Mississippi a month later, Carlson complained to her doctor of aching joints and a bloated feeling in her stomach. Her doctor ruled out rheumatoid arthritis, and a blood test didn’t turn up anything definitive. Then Carlson started having eye infections. In February 2021 she suddenly found a strange rash on her face; an urgent-care facility doctor treated her for shingles, but the rash didn’t get better. When she returned to…

By Natalie Michie Date May 10, 2022 Fashion has long taken inspiration from the aesthetics of sex work while excluding sex workers from its spaces. That’s why Chloe Cherry’s rise to runway “It girl” has been so refreshing. Since starring in Euphoria season two as Faye — a mini-skirt-wearing, disheveled, Barbie-like character — the porn star turned actor has become fashion’s newest muse. And her latest partnership proves she’s not going…

While heavy metal is a badge of honor these days, that may not have always been the case, and according to Geezer Butler when Black Sabbath first were bestowed with the claim of being a “heavy metal” band, it was not meant in a positive light.It’s not uncommon for words or phrases to be adopted by a culture or movement and change meaning. Just think about that the next time someone talks about the bad man playing the sick riffs. And likewise, Butler tells Eddie Trunk when they first were labeled “heavy metal,” it was viewed as more of a…

Last July a premonition persuaded the Ashaninka Indigenous people of the western Amazon basin to undertake a great traditional expedition. Divining that this could be their last chance to enjoy peace and tranquility, more than 200 Ashaninka from the Sawawo and Apiwtxa villages alongside the Amônia River in Peru and Brazil, respectively, boated upstream to pristine headwaters deep in the forest. It was the dry season, when the river waters were clear and safe for the children to splash in and the night sky starry for the spirit to soar in. There, in the manner of their ancestors, the Ashaninka…

Things are looking pretty bleak for Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) and his team in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the Halo Season 1 finale, but might there be a solution? The clip picks up mid-battle, and “Silver Team is down,” the AI Cortana (Jen Taylor) informs John. “We don’t have much time before we’re completely overwhelmed. I’ve calculated three possible routes out of here.” But “I’m not leaving without the artifacts,” he insists. “That’s not possible,” she argues. “The second you touch them, you’ll freeze up. Chief, are you listening to me? There’s no way you…
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain The demand for cash increases in times of crisis since many people consider banknotes and coins to be a particularly safe way to keep money. Moreover, cash is the only instrument of payment that is largely independent of a technical infrastructure. It is therefore essential that, during a crisis, people can access cash, particularly when other—electronic—means of payment might not be available or only to a limited extent. This is why researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS are working closely with partners to develop a security framework that can be implemented during emergencies…
Having watched a few episodes of “Say Yes to the Dress” throughout my lifetime, I was curious about the experience of shopping for a wedding dress at Kleinfeld’s famous flagship location in New York City. Would it be as fancy inside the bridal boutique as the store appears to be on TV? Would it be super loud and chaotic, with brides-to-be, stylists, and maids of honor fussing all over the place? How many girls would actually say yes to the dress while I was in the store, and furthermore, would they get glasses of champagne delivered, even if they said…
US President Joe Biden in Taliban fighter garb or stumbling over his words or bungling efforts to avert war in Ukraine – posts on Donald Trump’s new social media network “Truth Social” have a go-to target.For the users who make it past the waitlist to join and then the ubiquitous tech glitches on the freshly launched app, a first scan reveals that the platform calling itself a “big tent” of ideas has a tight focus on Trump’s favorite fixations.”Truth Social is like one big 2016 Trump rally. Come on over,” Arizona state Senator Wendy Rogers appealed on Twitter, with a picture…
Bo Burnham has shared 63 minutes of unreleased outtakes from his Emmy Award-winning comedy special, Inside. What’s more, a deluxe edition of the special’s companion album, Inside (The Songs), will be released on June 3rd. Burnham shared his quarantine special Inside in May 2021, and it quickly became a pandemic sensation. Filmed at the same house that Wes Craven used for the exterior of A Nightmare on Elm Street, the special was less a traditional comedy special than a musical exploration of an unravelling mind. It went on to win Emmy Awards for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Music…
