Image: Sony Animation/MarvelSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse did a lot of things right, and one of them was its music. That movie had a really good original soundtrack, and its obvious standout is Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower.” Releasing a few months before the film came out helped a lot, and it’s one of those songs that’s perfect for whatever mood you’re in. Turns out, a lot of people have listened to that song in the last five years and change, so much that the song’s achieved double-diamond status. Samsung…

Astronomers discovered enormous radio wave circles in 2019, named ORCs. Research led by Professor Alison Coil indicates these are caused by galactic winds from starburst galaxies, providing new insights into galactic evolution and phenomena. Credit: SciTechDaily.comOutflowing galactic winds from exploding stars may explain the enormous rings.It’s not every day astronomers say, “What is that?” After all, most observed astronomical phenomena are known: stars, planets, black holes, and galaxies. But in 2019 the newly…

Researchers have developed a new model explaining the mysterious fairy circles in grasslands, integrating plant phenotypic plasticity and spatial self-organization. Their findings, offering insights into ecosystem resilience under water stress, highlight the need for a more complex understanding of ecosystems in changing climates.After extensive research and unsatisfactory alternative explanations, Prof. Ehud Meron and his team believe pairing spatial patterning and phenotypic changes provides the answer.Fairy circles,…

It’s not often that space throws something entirely new at you, but in 2019 that’s exactly what happened when astronomers discovered a completely unknown phenomenon they called odd radio circles (ORCs). Now, more data may have revealed just how these rare objects form.Everything you need to know about ORCs is in the name: they’re circular blobs of radio emissions, and they’re odd because exactly what causes them was unknown. The first few were discovered in data from the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder…

Early on in Andy Muschietti's The Flash, a solemn Bruce Wayne aka Batman tells Barry Allen aka Flash, “These scars are what have made us who we are. You don't want to change them. Take that from someone who's always lived in the past.” Ezra Miller's The Flash serves as a great piece of caution against Marvel's obsession with multiverse storytelling Ben Affleck, in possibly his last appearance as Bruce Wayne, has a deep sadness in his eyes as he admits that he feels ‘alone.’ The moment hits Batman fans even…

The Oura Ring Heritage (left) and Oura Ring Horizon  Andy Boxall/Digital Trends Oura, the company that produces the Oura Ring smart ring, has introduced its first social feature, which allows wearers to share certain data between friends. It’s called Circles, and its announcement is joined by the final release of its Sleep Staging algorithm, which has been in beta since 2022. Oura’s CEO, Tom Hale, explained the thinking behind Circles’ launch: “Our mission at Oura has always been to improve the lives of our members…

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), DNA circles carrying cancer-associated genes, play a critical role in cancer development, according to new research led by Stanford Medicine. These DNA circles can be found in precancerous cells, and their presence accelerates the transformation to a cancerous state. This discovery paves the way for potential early diagnosis and intervention methods in cancer treatment.Tiny circles of <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="<div…

This British-made puzzle of a movie revolves around Liam (Neil Bishop), a young man who wakes up with amnesia in an eerily quiet hospital ward with stitches in his face and a big bandage around his head. He suddenly has a vision of an older man (Martin Bishop) dressed like a shepherd in a nativity play telling him to wake up. When he does, it’s as if he’s shifted to a different point in time, and the injuries are much less severe. The only doctor around is Emma (Zoe Cunningham), who helpfully explains he was exposed to an…

Image via Disney+ U.K Remakes get a bad rap nowadays, and for mostly good reasons. Sometimes – at least when a franchise or film isn’t being drained of profitability – updating a classic movie or show can lead to great results; just look at 21 Jump Street. Sadly, White Men Can’t Jump, a remake of the 1992 favorite of the same name, flounders too much in parts to really live up to the original, despite some bright spots and genuine laughs. The plot of the update is broadly similar to the original. Sinqua Walls…
