Don’t be alarmed when you tune into Season 2 of The Flight Attendant and you see Cassie Bowden (Kaley Cuoco) seems to have her life together. The flight attendant/part-time CIA asset who, in the first season of HBO Max‘s thrilling dramedy was often in over her head, is now sober, working her flights around the world, and also helping the CIA with whatever they need her to do. But it’s not too long before Cassie’s world starts imploding again and she (and the viewers) are in for another rollercoaster adventure. “I think I learned that I no longer need to…

An international team, co-led by researchers at The University of Manchester’s National Graphene Institute (NGI) in the UK and the Penn State College of Engineering in the US, has developed a tunable graphene-based platform that allows for fine control over the interaction between light and matter in the terahertz (THz) spectrum to reveal rare phenomena known as exceptional points. The feat could contribute to the development of beyond-5G wireless technology for high-speed communication networks.

Everyone needs a dedicated audio system to go with their TV—seriously, most built-in TV speakers are bad. But in a sea of look-alike black boxes, deciding which is right for you can require learning some terminology. That’s why I like Polk’s new Signa S4: It’s the Volvo station wagon of soundbars—simple and boring, and it does exactly what you need. It might not leap out as a great option at first, plus it’s a bit spendy at $399, but after a few weeks of listening to this soundbar and subwoofer combo, it’s now the system I recommend for anyone looking for…
People have come up with some creative ways to conduct interviews in recent years, especially as a result of the global lockdown, but what about video chatting with astronauts in outer space? Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder had the opportunity to do so through NASA for Earth Day.The resident “Earthling” hopped on a video call and had a conversation with the crew on board the International Space Station, which according to NASA, orbits 250 miles above Earth.

A team led by Maria Leptin has shown in the fruit fly Drosophila that autophagy, a mechanism of stress responses in cells, plays an important role in wound healing: When a wound heals, the process of autophagy is initiated and regulated by the protein complex TORC1. This is a newly discovered function of autophagy and the first evidence that autophagy controls the formation of syncytia (multinucleated cells). While syncytia are also formed during the development of muscles or the placenta, their role in wound healing and the involvement of autophagy are new discoveries. The article, ‘Autophagy-mediated plasma membrane removal promotes…
If you have fine hair, you’ve probably gone through your fair share of dry shampoo, fringes sticking to your face, and curls that fall out within minutes. Styling fine hair and experimenting with cuts in the search for volume can often be tricky to master.

Megan Thee Stallion is sitting down for her first television interview about allegedly being shot by rapper Tory Lanez. In a preview clip of her emotional interview with CBS Mornings, which airs Monday (April 25), the Houston rapper recounts the July 2020 incident in which she claims Lanez shot her in the foot following a party in the Hollywood Hills. “It was an argument, because I was ready to go and everybody else wasn’t ready to go.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Dragon Fires Rising: Books 1-3: The Complete Box Set? Two things: One, I wanted to do a more lighthearted humorous fantasy tale than my usual epic fantasy stories because Covid has been so hard for everyone. Two, I wanted to play with the dominant racial power dynamic and so have a black female protagonist who is, by definition, the most beautiful woman in the world, and all these white knights would swoon at her feet. So while it is a funny tale, a turn-around of the “Dragon kidnaps princess”…

While many of the Russian ships anchored there are safely out of missile range from Ukraine,…

A mosquito watches you through a lattice of microscopic lenses. You stare back, fly swatter in hand, closely tracking the bloodsucker with your humble single-lens eyes. But it turns out that the way you see each other—and the world—may have more in common than you might think.A study published last month in Science Advances found that inside mammalian eyes, mitochondria, the organelles that power cells, may serve a second role as microscopic lenses, helping to focus light on the photoreceptor pigments that convert the light into neural signals for the brain to interpret. The findings, which draw a striking parallel…
Back in March, the “Heardle” app, a variation on the popular “Wordle” online game, started to gain momentum with music fans. On a daily basis, the app posts the intro of a new song, giving players six tries to guess what the song is.

So, for fans looking for a more specific experience, a number of branded Heardle games have started to pop up.For those not aware, Heardle breaks down the song’s intro into specific seconds-long segments.

It’s taken a very long time to get a Top Gun sequel to the screen. The original movie was the blockbuster of the year back in 1986. Maybe it was just a different era back then, or maybe Tom Cruise was just too busy doing other stuff, but a Top Gun 2 never happened. Eventually, Paramount did start work on a sequel and then, after years and years of development, the film finally goes into production only for a freaking pandemic to derail its release for a full two years.Finally, more than 30 years later, Top Gun: Maverick is ready to premiere. The movie was directed…

Earlier this year, GWAR announced that their latest album, The New Dark Ages, would come with a companion graphic novel titled GWAR in the Duoverse of Absurdity. But might that graphic novel now spawn off its own companion as well?

I have very particular taste when it comes to board games: I like active games, where something is always happening, the funnier the better, and games where there is a chance I can feel my intelligence validated (doesn’t always work for the best, this last one, but we keep trying). Games like Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit (is anyone still playing this?), Cards Against Humanity, or Clue are just my thing, and please don’t ask me to play Monopoly with you unless you want me to immediately leave. When someone explained to me how Dungeons & Dragons works, and as I explained…
