Oscar night is known to have a pretty positive effect on many of the films nominated, and this years’ winners fared no differently. Not just the actors, directors, writers and producers, but also musicians such as Billie Eilish, who at 22 became the youngest ever two-time winner in the ceremony’s 96th year, and brother Finneas. The duo’s awards season success with the Barbie single “What Was I Made For?” continued even beyond their win and “whoa”-inspiring live performance, with the news that it enjoyed a last-minute…

The very first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer has finally graced us courtesy of the Super Bowl, revealing not only the official title of Marvel Studios’ marquee release of 2024, but what might also be the MCU turning point (for real this time!).

And where there’s a whetted…

Black holes are powerful gravitational engines. So you might imagine that there must be a way to extract energy from them given the chance, and you'd be right.Certainly, we could tap into all the heat and kinetic energy of a black hole's accretion disk and jets, but even if all you had was a black hole in empty space, you could still extract energy from a trick known as the Penrose process.First proposed by Roger Penrose in 1971, it is a way to extract rotational energy from a black hole.
