It's a regrettable reality that there is never time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across each month. In the past, we've featured year-end roundups of cool science stories we (almost) missed. This year, we're experimenting with a monthly collection. May's list includes a nifty experiment to make a predicted effect of special relativity visible; a ping-pong playing robot that can return hits with 88 percent accuracy; and the discovery of the rare genetic mutation that mak

Before I get into it, I must come clean: I am not a big fan of present-day animation. Sure, I can get down with some anime classics and will always give experimental stuff like Love, Death + Robots a shot. But there's this unfortunate trend of cookie-cutter projects getting the green light with the goal of replicating the success of animated hits like Rick and Morty instead of giving risky, original, cutting-edge programs a chance to find an audience. All this said, Adult Swim's conspiracy thri

I need to admit something right off the bat: I am not a huge animation fan. Mind you, I can watch any number of animated programs. But I've come to understand that I resist embracing new projects within the genre. Maybe it's because of the cookie-cutter nature of some of these titles, which tend to mimic hits like Rick and Morty instead of carving out a new space in the medium to thrive. I say all this because I didn't pay attention when Adult Swim released Common Side Effects on Max this year.

This purely decorative effect oddly pulses whenever you’re using an AI app (or when you press the Copilot key). It's supposed to pulse at startup, but this didn't happen in my tests. Either way, I found the pulsing effect quite soothing and ultimately wished there was an easy way to keep it on all the time.
