Amazon will take full creative control of the James Bond franchise

engadget.com Unknown 2025-06-21 19:42:55

Time (and perhaps a large check or two) heals all wounds. Amazon and the longtime producers and custodians of the James Bond movies have finally agreed on a way forward for the series. Amazon MGM Studios will form a joint venture with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli that will hold the intellectual property rights and ensure they remain co-owners of the franchise. However, Wilson and Broccoli will be stepping back to focus on other projects, with Amazon gaining full creative control. The

Curiosity Mars rover discovers evidence of ripples from ancient Red Planet lake

Today, we know of Mars as a cold, dry desert, with patches of subterranean ice and ice caps at its poles. Billions of years ago, however, liquid water flowed freely across the planet. And, while NASA's various Mars rovers have uncovered signs that such water once existed on Mars , there's perhaps no better evidence of an ice-free, shallow lake than these two sets of ripples in Martian rock. In November 2022, NASA's Curiosity rover imaged the Amapari Marker Band in the foothills of Mount Sharp,

After 20 years, math couple solves major group theory problem

news.ycombinator.com Leila Sloman 2025-06-21 13:09:56

After the conjecture was posed in the 1970s, dozens of mathematicians tried their hand at proving it. They made partial progress — and in the process they learned a great deal about groups, which are abstract objects that describe the various symmetries of a mathematical system. But a full proof seemed out of reach. Then Späth came along. Now, 20 years after she first learned about the problem and more than a decade after she met Cabanes, the two mathematicians have finally completed the proof.
