‘Tron: Ares’ is Disney’s Big Hall H Movie for San Diego Comic-Con

Marvel may be skipping San Diego Comic-Con’s famous Hall H panel this year, but Disney’s reportedly got Tron: Ares showing up in its stead. According to TheWrap, the sci-fi sequel will get a panel during the annual pop culture convention. That would be noteworthy on its own, but it takes on further significance owing to its lead star, Jared Leto, who plays the titular Ares program. In early June, AirMail published a report wherein multiple women accused the Morbius and House of Gucci actor of i

Feeling Off? These 7 Warning Signs Could Mean You're Iron Deficient

Feeling unusually tired, foggy or just off lately? It might not just be stress or poor sleep. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional issues in the U.S. and many people don't even realize they have it. According to national health data, absolute and functional iron deficiencies affect more than one in 10 adults and the symptoms can sneak up on you. An absolute deficiency happens when your body doesn't have enough iron at all, while a functional deficiency means the iron is there b

Eli Lilly’s Obesity Pill Appears to Work as Well as Injected GLP-1s

Eli Lilly’s daily anti-obesity pill orforglipron appears to be as good at spurring weight loss and lowering blood sugar in diabetes patients as popular injectable GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, according to new data from a Phase 3 trial. The results were announced today at the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association and published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Eli Lilly is the maker of the blockbuster GLP-1 drug tirzepatide, approved as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes and Zepbound

Proba-3's first artificial solar eclipse

Enabling & Support Proba-3’s first artificial solar eclipse 16/06/2025 24672 views 108 likes Today, the European Space Agency’s Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere – the solar corona. The mission’s two satellites, able to fly as a single spacecraft thanks to a suite of onboard positioning technologies, have succeeded in creating their first ‘artificial total solar eclipse’ in orbit. The resulting coronal images demonstrate the potential of formation flying tec

Dancing Naked on the Head of a Pin: The Early History of Microphotography

To produce microphotographs en masse, Dagron used a long wooden box that contained, at one end, a glass negative of the image to be reduced. At the other end was the reducing camera with up to twenty-five small lenses and the sensitized plate. When the end with the negative was held to a light source, the image was projected into the lenses and onto the sensitized glass plate to create multiple positive transparencies, each measuring about two millimeters square. Dagron employed the Taupenot dry

Visualizing environmental costs of war in Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaä

Audrey Aguirre Upland High School, Upland, CA, USA. Email: audrey.a.aguirre (at) gmail (dot) com Download PDF Past studies on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (風の谷のナウシカ; Topcraft, 1984) have primarily focused on its ecological themes and anti-war messages through analysis of the narrative as a whole or Nausicaä’s character. These studies address the ethical and environmental consequences of war shown through the dystopian nature of the film’s setting and its religious symbolism. However, I

Star Quakes and Monster Shock Waves

Like the simulation depicting how a neutron star cracks, this one also predicts the characteristics of the resulting flares astronomers might see through telescopes. In the fleeting moments when monster shock waves rip outward and a black hole pulsar forms, telescopes may be able to catch outbursts of radio waves or a combination of X-rays and gamma rays. In short, the simulations performed by Most and colleagues provide a deeper understanding of the physics driving some of the most energetic ev

Scientists Line Up Satellites to Create "Artificial Total Solar Eclipse"

Two satellites just carefully lined up to form a perfect "artificial total solar eclipse" in orbit. Earlier this year, the two probes, which are part of the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission, positioned themselves in a perfect line 492 feet apart to have one of them perfectly obfuscate the Sun's rays. Impressively, they were able to maintain their position with an accuracy down to the millimeter. The outermost satellite then snapped fascinating pictures of the Sun's corona, the outermos

Charlize Theron’s 6 Best Genre Roles

Charlize Theron can do any genre—she has an Oscar for playing a serial killer, and she gave a standout comedic performance on Arrested Development. She’s also a gifted action star, as seen in her appearances in Atomic Blonde and the Fast & Furious movies, a series which skirts the edge of sci-fi. But you don’t need to qualify anything when it comes to Theron’s fondness for sci-fi and fantasy. With The Old Guard 2 coming to Netflix in July, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey due next summer, sh

‘Ironheart’ Will Continue Tony Stark’s Legacy, and Robert Downey Jr. Approves

“I want to continue Stark’s legacy,” says Riri Williams, the main character in the upcoming Marvel Studios show Ironheart. Played by Dominique Thorne, Riri is a genius inventor, just like the late, great Iron Man, but without his billionaire resources. That conflict will be at the heart of the new show, which debuts on Disney+ June 24, and Tony Stark himself just endorsed it. Two fantastic Ironheart videos just came online, one of which focuses on the practical suits built for the production. E

Why This Recent Total Solar Eclipse Was the First of Its Kind

The Sun’s outer atmosphere—the corona—only reveals itself during total solar eclipses, which happen about every 18 months on Earth, and are only visible along a narrow path. These events offer scientists a rare opportunity to observe the Sun’s violent surface—but now, they won’t have to wait on the cosmos to do so. On Monday, June 16, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that its Proba-3 mission created the world’s first artificial total solar eclipse. The mission’s two satellites, the O

Denmark tests unmanned robotic sailboat fleet

KOGE MARINA, Denmark (AP) — From a distance they look almost like ordinary sailboats, their sails emblazoned with the red-and-white flag of Denmark. But these 10-meter (30-foot) -long vessels carry no crew and are designed for surveillance.

How Mixtape reminds us that your mixtapes were your life | Johnny Galvatron interview

It took Johnny Galvatron and his small team of neophytes six years to make The Artful Escape, a musical narrative game that debuted in 2021. With Mixtape, the team has been working on it for about two years. Annapurna Interactive published the game from Galvatron, a former star from the Australian band The Galvatrons, even though it focused on a somewhat cursed genre of music games. It did well enough for Annapurna, despite its recent troubles, to publish Galvatron’s second game. With Mixtape,

23andMe founder Anne Wojcicki will regain control of embattled DNA company after all

In a surprise twist, 23andMe founder and former CEO Anne Wojcicki is set to regain control of the DNA company's assets, according to a press release from 23andMe. In May, a company called Regeneron bought 23andMe for $256 million in a bankruptcy auction, but Wojcicki's nonprofit, TTAM Research Institute, was able to reopen bidding with an "unsolicited offer" of $305 million, The Wall Street Journal reports. A bankruptcy judge agreed to reopen bidding on 23andMe under the condition that Regenero
