The Big ‘Superman’ Speech Happened After This Emotional Behind the Scenes Moment

Sometimes the most magical thing about a movie is seeing how it came together. We can watch the final product and feel however it makes us feel, but that’s usually disconnected from all the work that went into it. You rarely think about the different takes, different conversations, and intense work that go into every single second. Especially a film’s biggest, most important emotional moment. James Gunn’s Superman is now available to watch at home, and part of the release is a 60-minute special

Heisig. His point is that learning kanji presents two obstacles: remembering what the shapes mean and remembering how they are pronounced. And it is a bad idea, claims Heisig, to try learning both at the same time. Japanese children learn the spoken language fir

‘Star Trek’ Is Born on ‘Strange New Worlds’

A few weeks ago in Strange New Worlds‘ up-and-down third season, “A Space Adventure Hour” delivered a deeply unsubtle paean to the creation of Star Trek.

From the moment that it opens, it becomes clear that “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail” (named for a Vulcan idiom that Spock uses later on) is not going to be a typical ep

How the Premier League uses AI to boost fan experiences and score new business goals

Researchers Harness Black Metal to Turbocharge Solar Power

Several years ago, an optics expert developed a technique for turning shiny metals pitch black. The trick resulted in a material perfectly suited for absorbing sunlight—so much so that generators built with it produced 15 times more power than comparable devices. The team used black metal to develop a new design for solar thermoelectric generators. Known as STEGs, they can convert various types of thermal energy into electricity. However, technological limitations significantly curbed their pot
