A team of scientists at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has developed a novel mechanical cleaning method for surfaces on the nanoscale. The technique successfully removes even the tiniest contaminants down to the atomic scale, achieving an unprecedented level of cleanliness. The results of this study led by Prof. Dr. Erdmann Spiecker from the Department of

For years, scientists have looked for ways to cool molecules down to ultracold temperatures, at which point the molecules should slow to a crawl, allowing scientists to precisely control their quantum behavior. This could enable researchers to use molecules as complex bits for quantum computing, tuning individual molecules like tiny knobs to carry out multiple

Eadith (Stefanie Martini) British actor Stefanie Martini played the lead role of Jane Tennison in ITV crime drama prequel Prime Suspect: 1973, a younger version of Dame Helen Mirren’s celebrated character. She was also Lady Ev in NBC’s Wizard of Oz prequel series Emerald City. Here, Martini plays Eadith, mistress to Aethelred of Mercia (Toby
The Entertainment Software Association plans to host an E3 event in 2021, but they have indicated that this event will be different than it has been in previous years. According to GamesIndustry.biz, the ESA has informed its partners that they intend to run E3 from June 15, 2021, to June 17, 2021. Interestingly, the early word

These are questions that we’re going to continuing to ask ourselves as we go forward, and what I can tease is that, should we get to a season 3, the ultimate fate of the three meth heads will tell us something much more specific and concrete in terms of our heroes’ understanding about the death
There are certainly better parts to this run, but there is a scene where Namor, T’Challa, Doctor Doom, and Magneto stand around an apartment outside of the United Nations shouting at each other about diplomacy, and to this day I still have not found a comic book more specifically designed for my interests than this
A subtle improvement you’ll notice in the image above is the USB-C port, which replaces the micro USB port of the DualShock 4. The USB-C compatibility brings the controller up to current tech standards and should make it easier to recharge the battery with most modern wall chargers not produced by Apple. Nishini did not
Among the less extreme surprises was how quickly Roswell seems to have wrapped up the mystery of Guerin’s mother. Will Michael and Alex move on to Michael building a spaceship of his own, now that he has a full schematic and a bit more of the materials, thanks to Alex finally handing over the piece
League of Legends card game Legends of Runeterra will receive an official launch on April 30 for PC and mobile devices. If Legends of Runeterra sounds familiar to you, that’s because the game has been accessible since late 2019 to smaller pools of players. The game has been evolving over that time through various balance

Set Up Port Forwarding for Your PS4 If the above steps don’t fix the problem, you may have to dive into your wireless router and set a forward port for your PS4. We mentioned these steps in the section above, but here’s a more detailed breakdown of the process: Step 1: Grab the IP Address,
PORTLAND, Ore. – Scientists have developed a precise, nanotechnology-based treatment to alleviate the pain and fertility problems associated with endometriosis, a common gynecological condition in women of childbearing age. Research led by Oleh Taratula of the Oregon State University College of Pharmacy and Ov Slayden of the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health
The Walking Dead was forced to delay its season 10 finale due to postproduction work being interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. AMC must have felt terrible about that because the network has now released a pretty generous sneak peek at the still-unscheduled finale. Not only is the clip lengthy, it also features the long-awaited return
The plan was undone by some logistical challenges. Both branches of Umbrella were initially unable to create B.O.Ws with sufficient intelligence. In the eyes of the military, this made them a liability on the battlefield. Fortunately (for Umbrella), a breakthrough was made when Umbrella USA was able to manufacture a B.O.W under the Tyrant Project
While the stories in each episode of Tales from the Loop have a sci-fi twist, whether with time travel or parallel universes or mysterious machines, they are mostly grounded in life in the town of Mercer, Ohio. The Willard family is center stage much of the time, but even then Paul Schneider’s character George Willard
But the true secret to Nemesis’ success was the game direction itself. While Nemesis only appears in scripted sequences in the game, the player is made to feel like they are constantly being followed by the creature, like he could pop out at any moment, leading to some truly scary reappearances by the monster.

At least one of the hosts of the Sci Fi Fidelity podcast grew up with the original version of Amazing Stories back in the 80s, but both remember the hopeful tone of the anthology series. So the question is: does the Apple TV+ version, which still has Steven Spielberg’s name attached to it, live up
For Rogue Legacy, that element was its legacy system. Basically, each game saw you enter a castle as a heroic warrior who sets out to defeat a great evil and all that noise. Very early into your journey, you are going to die. When that happens, you’ll be revived as one of the heroic warrior’s
There are also plenty of updates that a new episode of Tiger King could include. As evidenced by Netflix’s tweet, the legend himself, Joe Exotic, is always available for a followup interview. News also broke last week that the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office was seeking new leads in the case of Carole Baskin’s missing second
Even Microsoft’s CEO has acknowledged the fear that the launch of the Xbox Series X may be impacted by the struggling global economy. At this time, nothing is really off the table when it comes to future entertainment delays. As for Amazon’s streaming service, it could be interesting. Amazon obviously has the resources to stick
Before the kerfuffle, Abigael attempts to make a deal with another female demon to take over the newly vacant seat at the table. This is the first time this season Abigael has even hinted at using her newfound power as the Overlord to pull other demonesses up with her. This is despite her entire motive,
Of course, some of that information is based on quotes from quite a while ago, and if Crucible really has evolved since then, it’s really anyone’s guess what kind of game it’s going to end up being. As for Crucible‘s intended release date, it sounds like the plan was for Crucible to be unveiled/released sometime
What do you think you witnessed with these exorcisms? In terms of what we witnessed, we filmed five exorcisms in one day, and we show three of them in the episode. They were definitely some of the most unusual experiences I’ve had filming something. I certainly believe that every person that Vincent, the exorcist, engaged
And while many consumers might prefer to get their games digitally these days, physical game sales are still very lucrative for Sony, according to Schreier: “I believe they ran the numbers and decided that they’d miss out on too many physical sales.” According to Sony’s Q3 2019 financial report, digital downloads account for a smaller

Ahsoka herself shines in this new environment. Her dynamic with Anakin and Obi-Wan has charmed a lot of fans, but I often found the way she played off Anakin repetitive, which didn’t allow her to grow and develop as a character. In a new place, she clearly stands out from the people around her. Maybe
Now, though, a blog post reveals that Spyjinx will enter a limited iOS beta in Malaysia and also soon in Australia. As this is a beta, the developers warn everyone that there will be some bugs and other problems that they hope users will report on as they test the experience. If you happen to
