What’s the Deal With That Freaky Bald Creature in ‘Superman’?

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-21 23:20:16

The Mr. Handsome fan club is growing, so naturally, we want to know more about the freaky Creepypasta-looking slender monster featured in Superman. Director James Gunn didn’t exactly pull from the DC Comics library for this very weird character; though there was a Mr. Handsome villain in Catwoman’s lore, they appear to be unrelated. This Mr. Handsome is a Lex Luthor abomination. It appears in his pocket universe as the driver of his raft through the various rows of toxic curiosities and curatio

In a rare move, Google has confirmed it will sign the European Union's AI Code of Practice, a framework it initially opposed for being too harsh.

Physicists Catch ‘Ghost Particles’ Bouncing Off Matter in Record-Breaking Experiment

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-22 23:00:53

Neutrinos are everywhere. About 100 trillion neutrinos pass through our bodies every second, but they’re so weakly interacting we never notice them. It’s this spooky feature of neutrinos that earned them the nickname “ghost particles.” Antineutrinos, their antimatter counterpart, are also everywhere. Both are notoriously difficult to detect, but physicists are getting better at circumventing their ghostly tendencies, as a recent record-setting measurement demonstrates. When a low-energy neutrin
