Matthias Glasner’s epic is a black comedy of Franzenesque family dysfunction; maybe not profound exactly but terrifically watchable and entertaining. It is about the time-honoured subject of what we inherit from our parents and what is gained and lost by rejecting that inheritance. The film features that always formidable German actor Lars Eidinger as an orchestra conductor - and it will be no surprise that when he takes to the podium at the Berlin Philharmonic, it is the scene of the biggest and most embarrassing fiasco…

Chinese scientists have developed the first superionic hydride ion conductor capable of operating at ambient conditions. By targeting the structure and morphology of trihydrides in rare earth elements and using a mechanical ball milling method, the researchers were able to suppress the electronic conductivity of lanthanum trihydride, transforming it into a superionic conductor with record-high conductivities. This breakthrough has potential applications in advanced clean energy storage and electrochemical conversion…

Touch screens owe their magic to an electrically conductive film that sits just below the surface. In most devices, this layer is made from a compound known as indium tin oxide (ITO), which is rigid, expensive to manufacture, and requires the rare metal indium. Now, researchers have created a cheap and flexible alternative to ITO that could not only lower costs for touch screens, solar cells, and smart windows, but also enable new classes of bendable, wearable…
