Review: The Sandman S2 is a classic tragedy, beautifully told

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-26 12:54:39

I unequivocally loved the first season of The Sandman, the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's influential graphic novel series (of which I am longtime fan). I thought it captured the surreal, dream-like feel and tone of its source material, striking a perfect balance between the anthology approach of the graphic novels and grounding the narrative by focusing on the arc of its central figure: Morpheus, lord of the Dreaming. It's been a long wait for the second and final season, but S2 retains al

Scientists have recreated the Universe's first molecule

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-27 23:20:51

Immediately after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was dominated by unimaginably high temperatures and densities. However, after just a few seconds, it had cooled down enough for the first elements to form, primarily hydrogen and helium. These were still completely ionized at this point, as it took almost 380,000 years for the temperature in the universe to drop enough for neutral atoms to form through recombination with free electrons. This paved the way

The Emperor's New Trade Deal – Paul Krugman

news.ycombinator.com Paul Krugman 2025-12-01 09:26:33

On Tuesday Donald Trump went on CNBC to explain why the European Union is facing a tariff of “only” 15 percent. But what he said was simply delusional — and the delusion should be even more concerning than the tariffs. The Europeans, Trump asserted, had agreed to cough up $600 billion, which he described as a “gift,” not a loan. And he emphasized that this is “$600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it.” So Trump apparently believes that the European

European search engines Qwant and Ecosia said on Wednesday that they have both started serving search queries through an index they developed together, Staan, which aims to be a cheaper, more privacy-focused alternative to Google and Bing.

What we like about it: For those who want to avoid chemicals altogether, a lemon eucalyptus insect repellent is a gentler way to stave off bugs and their bites. I tried a few different lemon eucalyptus bug sprays, and Natrapel came out on top. Lacking the two chemicals proven to repel insects, it's natural to think this bug spray isn't as effective as its DEET- or picaridin-containing counterparts.

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

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
