There can be only one! And it just might be Henry Cavill. Henry Cavill has been Chad Stahelski’s first choice to star in a new version of Highlander, and he just might get his wish. For those who don’t know, a Highlander film is in the works, and right now, it’s in its very early stages. One of the biggest roadblocks the film has reached is Henry Cavill’s extremely busy filming schedule, but from what Stahelski had to say, it sounds like Cavill is on board.It makes sense that an action-packed franchise like Highlander would go to Stahelski.

Something switched off in my brain and suddenly two of the genres I’ve loved all of my life became impenetrable. For a while I just read other kinds of books. Then I started trying SFF again — to no avail. I couldn’t connect. I hope that one day I’ll find joy in space operas and epic fantasy again. Until then, I’ve been embracing a different kind…

This is on top of Apple making many products that are inherently not user-upgradeable, sometimes in the name of potential performance gains or improved experiences.

The recipe for mammalian life is simple: take an egg, add sperm and wait. But two new papers demonstrate that there’s another way. Under the right conditions, stem cells can divide and self-organize into an embryo on their own. In studies published in Cell and Nature this month, two groups report that they have grown synthetic mouse embryos for longer than ever before. The embryos grew for 8.5 days, long enough for them to develop distinct organs — a beating heart, a gut tube and even neural folds. The process is far from perfect. Just a tiny fraction of the cells develop these features…

All of Marvel’s best villains have something in common: Relatability. We may not approve of their methods, but we often find ourselves agreeing with their goals. Case in point: The Kingpin from Daredevil, played by Vincent D’Onofrio. He once described his character in three words: “monster and child” and in our latest Marvel video we explore both aspects of Wilson Fisk’s personality in order to show that for all his many flaws, he may have been right about a lot of things.We examine the Kingpin’s evolution over the course of the series, and compare his upbringing to that of his arch-nemesis, Matt Murdock.

The high heat and low water conditions produced by global warming weaken pine trees’ resistance to disease by hindering their ability to mount an effective defense at the same time that pathogenic fungi in their tissues become more aggressive, new research suggests. The study is the first to simultaneously examine metabolic gene expression in both host trees and the pathogens attacking them under normal and climate-change conditions. The findings help explain the mechanisms behind what has become a well-known fact: The warming world makes trees more susceptible to disease. The study was conducted on Austrian pines, which are native to…
