What’s the Story Behind ‘Tron: Ares?’ Our Report From the Set

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-18 05:00:57

“I have to ride a lightcycle.” That was my first thought last year when the invite arrived to visit the set of Disney’s new sequel, Tron: Ares. It seemed like a logical request. When you think of Tron, you think of lightcycles. They’re a huge part of both 2010’s Tron: Legacy and 1982’s Tron. And yet, I had to wonder, were there even lightcycles in this movie? What exactly WAS this movie? Coming out 15 years after the last one, with basically a whole new cast, it seemed any concept of what the fi

1,000-Year-Old Viking Object Reveals How They Likely Styled Their Hair

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-18 05:50:05

Hair parted in the middle, cropped at the back, with a wavy lock styled above one ear. That’s not my haircut of choice, but if you were an elite Viking, it may well have been. That’s the upshot of a study published last month in the journal Medieval Archaeology in which researchers re-examined a roughly one-inch-tall (three centimeters) Viking gaming piece that dates back more than 1,000 years. It was originally discovered among the burial things of a presumed Viking warrior in Norway in 1797 a

China's Electric Car Industry Is in Deep Trouble

China's electric vehicle industry is, by most accounts, experiencing unprecedented boom times: the cars are cheaper, consumers more primed to purchase them, and there are lots of viable options outside of Tesla. Unfortunately, that competition comes with a price — or rather, with a price war. As the New York Times reports, rabid competition among about 50 of the country's top EV automakers has led to repeated price-slashing in a manic hunt for new buyers.

That figure includes the water used to cool the data center’s servers and the water consumed at the power plants generating the electricity to run them.
