M3GAN 2.0 review: The AI camp queen pulls a Terminator 2

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-23 12:00:49

M3GAN was an unexpected hit, and for good reason: It was the best killer toy horror film since Child's Play, combining comedy and camp with a meme-worthy android lead. For the sequel, writer/director Gerard Johnstone (working off a story from him and the first film's writer Akela Cooper), have taken a few notes from Terminator 2. This time around, there's an even more evil android on the scene (Amelia, played by Ivanna Sakhno) who wants AI to rule the world. And there's only one somewhat less ev

In brief: Artificial intelligence is taking over the classroom, and it's playing both sides of the ball. While some teachers are doing their best to fight back against AI-generated assignments, others are leveraging the emerging tech to help get their own work done.

Cancer-targeting nanoparticles are moving closer to human trials

In the original production technique, layers with different properties can be laid down by alternately exposing a particle to positively and negatively charged polymers, with extensive purification to remove excess polymer after each application. Each layer can carry therapeutics as well as molecules that help the particles find and enter cancer cells. But the process is time-consuming and would be difficult to scale up.
