Various chemical reactions occur one after another in cells, and life is maintained as each step of the reaction is regulated without error. Recently, a Korean research team has developed a dual-catalyst system that can precisely control catalytic reactions like cells. A POSTECH research team led by professor In Su Lee, research assistant professors Amit Kumar and Nitee Kumari, and master’s student Jongwon Lim (Department of Chemistry) developed a nanoreactor that combines magnetic materials and metal catalysts. A nanoreactor combining two or more catalysts causes a continuous catalytic reaction to help synthesize precise chemicals. However, each step in the synthesis…

In 2019, Google showed that its Sycamore quantum computer could solve a problem that no ordinary computer could handle – but now a new algorithm gives non-quantum devices the edge Technology 18 August 2022 By Matthew Sparkes Google’s Sycamore quantum computerGoogle (CC BY 3.0) Google has been challenged by an algorithm that could solve a problem faster than its Sycamore quantum computer, which it used in 2019 to claim the first example of “quantum supremacy” – the point at which a quantum computer can complete a task that would be impossible for ordinary computers. Google concedes that its 2019 record…

Marvel’s Black Panther, anchored by Chadwick Boseman’s stellar performance as King T’Challa, achieved immense critical and cultural acclaim in 2018. It earned over $1 billion at the box office and tallied seven Oscar nominations — including Best Picture — with wins for score, production design, and costume design. As a result, the Ryan Coogler film was bound to have a follow-up. However, Boseman’s death in August 2020 after a battle with cancer meant that his last live-action appearance as T’Challa would be in the 2019 hit Avengers: Endgame. (Boseman also lent his voice as Black Panther for the Disney+ series…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Evie Effect? I’ve always wanted to write a rock star romance.

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Love Is Blind Season 3 Episodes 1-4.] Love Is Blind contestants sometimes complain of unfair edits, but Season 3’s Andrew doesn’t have much room to complain, at least not for Episode 3. After Nancy rejected Andrew’s proposal, the 30-year-old smooth talker seemed hurt by the rejection, but his solo interview after leaving the pod proved her intuition was spot on, as Andrew faked tears on camera to drum up sympathy from viewers. But what he likely didn’t expect was that the producers would leave the behind-the-scenes planning in the final cut. “Men have…
A federal jury on Friday (Oct. 21) found that Cardi B was not legally liable in a lawsuit filed by a California man whose back tattoos were unwittingly photoshopped onto a “raunchy” album cover, allowing the superstar to avoid millions of dollars in requested damages. Following a four-day trial, the jurors said that Cardi (real name Belcalis Almánzar) did not violate Kevin Brophy’s rights with the bawdy cover of her 2016 mixtape Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1, which featured an image that he claimed made it appear he was performing oral sex on the now-superstar. Brophy, who had sought $5…

Terrell Carter remembers one prisoner in particular. They had both been seeking commutations of their life sentence so they could eventually apply for parole. But Carter says that in the midst of the process, his fellow inmate became so debilitated with dementia that the man could no longer function well enough to complete the paperwork. Within a few months, Carter says, this prisoner was incapacitated, lying in bed with arms outstretched over his head, calling for help. Carter, an inmate who volunteered in the hospice ward of State Correctional Institution Phoenix in Collegeville, Penn., says that his fellow prisoner languished…

I knew Styles would treat us to something spectacular, and he certainly held up his end of the bargain in a midnight-blue, flared-trouser suit and cornflower pointed-collar shirt, accessorised with white shoes, retro sunglasses (all by Gucci, naturally), gold rings, and a pastel manicure. Pleasing indeed. Then, there’s fashion darling and, in my opinion, one of the A-list’s freshest dressers, Florence Pugh, who took the naked-dress trend to the next level with her off-the-shoulder Valentino Haute Couture creation of tulle and sequins. As a fellow petite girl, I fully support her choice of stacked-platform, bow-adorned heels. Then, there’s the film’s director,…

Mike Patton has once again opened up about his mental health struggles, revealing that he coped with alcoholism during the pandemic. In a new interview with The Guardian, Patton discussed the upcoming sophomore album from his hardcore-thrash supergroup Dead Cross, stating that it was “forged through COVID, cancer, and alcoholism.” Patton alluded to guitarist Mike Crain’s battle with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. Crain’s cancer eventually went into remission, with the guitarist crediting the making of the new Dead Cross album with helping save his life.

I love big, sprawling, fantasy series as much as anyone. But for the past few years, I’ve also been craving more self-contained stories that don’t demand as much time and attention from me. Which is why I began reading standalones — and let me say that they are more than capable of telling complete and detailed stories with well-developed characters despite the shorter format. In fact, that’s exactly what makes them great reads for both fantasy newbies and genre veterans. We covered adult fantasy standalones recently here at Book Riot. So today I’m going to focus on standalone YA fantasy…

“At the end of the day, the flexibility of how you can abuse corporate accounts to move laterally and pivot over to other applications in the cloud—there are just so many different ways that attackers can use enterprise credentials,” says Crane Hassold, director of threat intelligence at Abnormal Security and a former digital behavior analyst for the FBI. “That’s why phishing is so extremely popular with cybercriminals, because of that return on investment.”There are stronger ways to implement two-factor authentication, and the new generation of “password-less” login schemes or “Passkeys” from the industry FIDO2 standard promise a much less phishable…
