Movies typically take several years to get in front of an audience, from the screenwriter first putting words on the page to the finished film unspooling in a dark theater (or, these days, streaming on your tablet). So there’s always a weird double-take when a movie like The Forever Purge comes out and it seems
A scientific breakthrough: Researchers from Tel Aviv University have engineered the world’s tiniest technology, with a thickness of only two atoms. According to the researchers, the new technology proposes a way for storing electric information in the thinnest unit known to science, in one of the most stable and inert materials in nature.

This article contains spoilers for Loki episode 4. Through four episodes of Marvel’s timey-wimey Disney+ series Loki, it’s been kind of an open secret that the show’s rules for time travel make little sense. The Time Variance Authority (TVA) is tasked with maintaining the sanctity of the Sacred Timeline and yet everywhere they turn there’s
This review contains spoilers for Loki episode 4. Loki Episode 4 First of all, holy shit! Ok, now that’s out of the way I have to calm down enough to review Marvel’s Loki, episode 4, “The Nexus Event,” which had me on the edge of my seat until the post-credits scene. During said post-credits scene
The electronic properties of graphene can be specifically modified by stretching the material evenly, say researchers at the University of Basel. These results open the door to the development of new types of electronic components. Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The material is very flexible and
Independent film company The Asylum is best known, perhaps unfairly, for its “mockbusters”. Mockbusters are movies with titles like Transmorphers or Paranormal Entity that are designed to fool people into either making accidental purchases on home video or becoming intrigued enough to stop scrolling. These kinds of films are an acquired taste, but they’re usually
Let’s be honest: Black Widow really should have had a movie before now. Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) has been in the MCU since Iron Man 2 in 2010, she’s part of the original line up of Avengers, she’s one of the most popular characters in that Universe and is one of the few lead females.
The following THE FLASH article contains spoilers through Season 7, Episode 15.

To the surprise of pretty much nobody, the PlayStation Studios team has officially acquired Returnal developer Housemarque. “Today I’m thrilled to welcome a new member to the PlayStation Studios family,” says Helmen Hurst, head of PlayStation Studios, in a recent blog post. “I have been a fan of Housemarque since the studio’s early days when
With the release of The Forever Purge—the fifth in the eerily prescient dystopian horror series—upon us, Den of Geek had a chance to speak with Jason Blum, the producer and Blumhouse Productions president. In addition to discussing the future of the Purge franchise (more on that later this week), we also had the chance to
When Jeopardy! GOAT contestant Brad Rutter spoke to Den of Geek earlier this year, he shared his opinion that there is only one perfect Jeopardy! host to replace the departed Alex Trebek. “Alex,” Rutter said. “But we can’t do it, unfortunately. That’s one of the terrible things about it. I can’t even really imagine what
Natural wood remains a ubiquitous building material because of its high strength-to-density ratio; trees are strong enough to grow hundreds of feet tall but remain light enough to float down a river after being logged. For the past three years, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and Applied Science have been developing
Don’t let his D+ average fool you, the results say Tony Soprano is a leader, we learn in the first trailer from the upcoming The Many Saints of Newark. Written and produced by The Sopranos creator, David Chase, the film will dig deep into the roots of the future boss of the DiMeo family, the

Since the survivors on AMC’s long-running zombie series learned to view the undead as environmental hazards rather than antagonists, the show has needed good old-fashioned human baddies to step up to the plate. The Walking Dead is coming off an
A process that uses heat to change the arrangement of molecular rings on a chemical chain creates 3D-printable gels with a variety of functional properties, according to a Dartmouth study. The researchers describe the new process as “kinetic trapping.” Molecular stoppers–or speed bumps–regulate the number of rings going onto a polymer chain and also control
Loki actress Sophia Di Martino talks her character Sylvie and why she’s so much more than a “Lady Loki.” “Sylvie Laufeydottir is the most mysterious character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. after her shocking reveal at the end of Loki Episode 2, she’s now one half of a mischievous duo as a variant of the

Diverse storytelling is one of anime’s most appealing qualities. Want a show about superheroes? There’s a series for you. Ninja? You, too. Demon slayers? Yup. Not interested in action or horror?
