Mads Mikkelsen Reunites With ‘Hannibal’ Creator Bryan Fuller to Slay Monsters in ‘Dust Bunny’

We may never get another season of Hannibal, but there’s some comfort to be found in Dust Bunny, Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller‘s feature directorial debut—which just so happens to star Dr. Lecter himself, Mads Mikkelsen. He plays a hired killer who befriends his young neighbor after she loses her family; she believes a monster did it, but he’s got an equally scary, more real-world idea of the culprit. Check out the first trailer for Dust Bunny here: Written and directed by Fuller, Dust Bunny a

Scientists Turned Plastic Trash Into a Material That Eats Carbon

Experts estimate that the global production and disposal of plastics emits nearly 2 billion tons of greenhouse gases per year. The vast majority of these materials end up in landfills, but what if we could repurpose some of that waste to remove planet-warming emissions from the atmosphere? A team of researchers in Denmark has discovered a way to do just that. In a new study, published September 5 in the journal Science Advances, they transformed decomposed #1 plastic—also known as PET (polyethy

Are You Using the Wrong Cooking Oil? Here's What a Chef Says

A walk down the cooking oil aisle can feel a bit overwhelming. Olive, avocado, canola, grapeseed, peanut -- they all promise something different, and not every bottle works for every recipe. If you use the wrong one, your dish can end up greasy, bitter or just plain off. The key to choosing the correct one is knowing which oils handle heat best and which are better left raw. High-heat methods like frying or searing call for neutral oils with a higher smoke point, such as canola, avocado or grap

Ready For a Juice Boost? Apple's iPhone 17 Lineup Reportedly Features Bigger Batteries

The leaks just keep coming ahead of Tuesday's "awe-dropping" Apple event, and it looks like the iPhone 17 series will have a significantly bigger battery size. According to leaker @ShrimpApplePro on X, Chinese regulatory listings indicate that all the new phones that Apple is unveiling on Tuesday -- the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max -- will have larger batteries. The exception will be the iPhone 17 Air, which is trading off the ultra-thin form factor for less battery capacity.

All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity

Last year, we reported on the efforts of classic iPod fans to preserve playable copies of the downloadable clickwheel games that Apple sold for a brief period in the late '00s. The community was working to get around Apple's onerous FairPlay DRM by having people who still owned original copies of those (now unavailable) games sync their accounts to a single iTunes installation via a coordinated Virtual Machine. That "master library" would then be able to provide playable copies of those games to

F1 in Italy: Look what happens when the downforce comes off

Formula 1 held its Italian Grand Prix at Monza this past weekend. It's the third-oldest purpose-built racetrack on the planet, and even includes an old and rather dangerous-looking oval that, while no longer in use, is accessible on foot if you feel like exploring. It's a deceptively simple-looking track where it's all about top speed, and nailing your braking into the four heavy deceleration zones. Downforce is actually an impediment here, and that means the pecking order that we have become fa

Google gets away almost scot-free in US search antitrust case

What was Judge Amit Mehta thinking? When he ruled a year ago that Google violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by stifling search competition, we thought Google was truly in hot water. Boy, were we wrong! After Mehta’s initial ruling, the Department of Justice (DoJ) demanded that Google divest itself of the Chrome web browser and/or the Android operating system, and also be blocked from exclusive distribution contracts that had placed Google Search as the default on almost all devices and web brow

Job Mismatch and Early Career Success

How does being over- or underqualified at the beginning of a worker's career affect skill acquisition, retention, and promotion? Despite the importance of mismatch for the labor market, self-selection into jobs has made estimating these effects difficult. We overcome endogeneity concerns in the context of the US Air Force, which allocates new enlistees to over 130 different jobs based, in part, on test scores. Using these test scores, we create simulated job assignments based on factors outside

‘Wednesday’ VFX Crew Explains How They Pulled Off That Wild Zombie Transformation

Netflix’s Jenna Ortega-led second season of Wednesday, while released in an annoyingly incremental fashion, has given fans tons of thrills and fast-favorite moments, including the extremely hyped arrival of one Mother Monster, Lady Gaga. Among the more astonishing moments in the season so far, however, are the visual effects and prosthetic designs—including a zombie and putting Christopher Lloyd’s head in a jar. The show’s visual effects team lifted the veil on how they pulled it off in an inte

Apple Gets Hit With AI Copyright Lawsuit Days Before iPhone 17 Event

Two authors, Grady Hendrix and Jennifer Roberson, are suing Apple, alleging the company violated their copyright protections and illegally acquired and used their books to train its AI, according to a complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco. The authors claim Apple used a software program called Applebot to scrape data from "shadow libraries" such as Books3. The authors' novels were included in the pirated library and thus used to

OpenAI Wants This Film to Prove AI Animation Is Ready for the Big Screen
