SAN FRANCISCO – As a group, NASA’s low-cost science missions have improved significantly. “There were lessons learned over the years that helped,” said Charles Norton, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory deputy chief technologist. “In the beginning there were a lot of failures. The community bootstrapped itself to become successful.” In fact, low-cost, risk-tolerant Class-D small satellite
Over the weekend, Chinese Tekken 8 player xiaochenchen (XCC) made a scorching run through the bracket at Thaiger Uppercut. To call this an unexpected result is an understatement. People know that there’s a fighting game space bubbling away in China, but fairly or unfairly, it’s not held in the same regard as other countries. XCC
2020’s Birds of Prey is a much better Harley Quinn showcase. This past weekend brought the launch of Joker: Folie à Deux, the latest in a long line of films inspired by DC’s comics. A sequel to 2019’s billion-dollar-grossing Joker, the sequel aimed to up the ante with a number of new elements, including the
For a series as focused on bleeding edge technology as the Fast Saga, it’s kind of crazy that the series hasn’t made any mention of AI tech being used to produce Universal’s high octane blockbusters. But with Fast X’s sequel skipping the crop of upcoming 2025 movies, that milestone still looks to be on the

In a major climbdown, Elon Musk’s X told Brazil’s Supreme Court it had complied with orders to stop the spread of misinformation and asked a judge to lift a ban on the platform, according to a document seen by Reuters. The billionaire had held out for more than five months against what he called “censorship” in a feud with a
A study on the brains of mice has identified a neurological relay race unfolding at meal time, dividing activity into four separate phases that ensure the animals don’t eat too much or too little. While the research doesn’t identify the exact physiological cues that define each act, the findings hint at a complex interplay of
Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. 20,000 readers of literary fiction…? Rebecca Schinksy and I talked about this whisper of a rumor of a stat a few weeks ago on the Book Riot podcast, and Leigh Stein apparently had the same
Apple revealed a new generation of its custom Arm-based silicon earlier this year, but it took the unusual step of releasing the M4 first in a new iPad Pro model.

I’ve been in this business a long time and can understand why it’s such a hard sell for people to believe a movie can be so potent that it physically affects its viewers. I think one of the reasons is that we’re all such seasoned horror fans that movies don’t affect us the same way

These hypothetical black holes are believed to have formed soon after the Big Bang, resulting from pockets of subatomic matter so dense that they underwent gravitational collapse.

Image: Nintendo Life We’re now one full week into October following the first September since 2016 without a really big Nintendo Direct. Looking back at our Nintendo Direct broadcast history guide, it’s all there in black and white (well, red and white). 2020’s Direct might have been a Super Mario-focused job themed around that series’
My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. “The Brood” The Hellphyr! Spawned from the worlds of both Heaven and Hell, the creature feeds upon the heart, mind, soul of those who practice magic. In a time in memoriam, the demon was locked away in the Tome of Zhered-Na, then kept hidden by the great
Spoilers ahead for Emilia Pérez. Movie musical are a tried and true genre, one that I personally have a love for. Some musicals have won Best Picture, and every one in a while we get a film project that pushes outside of what the genre is known for. Case in point: Selena Gomez‘s new movie
Image via Mubi For this writer, writer and director Coralie Fargeat changed my life with the 2017 subversive rape-revenge film Revenge. Confrontational, stylish, and gory, Fargeat’s feature film debut shifted cultural consciousness ever so slightly. And now, with her sophomore feature The Substance, Fargeat has even shifted the zeitgeist with a disgusting, rage-filled scream about

It has been over 7 years now since Fortnite released, and 6 years since it had been officially ported over to the Nintendo Switch.

A dwarf planet thought to have some ice mixed in with its dirty surface may have a lot more cool than we ever expected. Ceres – the largest body in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter – could have a crust consisting of more than 90 percent water ice. If this is the case,
