"Astronomers at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) in Germany have published a new study arguing that dark energy may not be necessary. It's far from a definitive nail in the coffin of the 'energy of space,' but it does offer the tantalizing possibility that cosmology might be just a little easier to fathom than conventionally believed."

"The standard sperm-meets-egg story posits that sperm cells are hardly more than bundles of shrink-wrapped DNA with tails. Their mission is simple: Deliver a father's genes into a mother's egg for sexual reproduction. Just about all other aspects of a developing embryo, including its cellular and environmental components, have nothing to do with dad. Those all come from mom. But nearly two decades of studies from multiple independent labs threaten to rewrite that story."

"With a new year comes a fresh crop of horror sequels and franchise continuations, including Scream 7, Scary Movie 6, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Evil Dead Burn, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, and Insidious: The Bleeding World. Familiar monsters will also make a return, albeit presented in entirely new ways. We'll see Maggie Gyllenhaal's punky Bride of Frankenstein riff, The Bride!; Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin's new Mummy; and Werwulf, the next painstakingly period tale from Nosferatu's Robert Eggers."

"In the dog days of the summer of 1955, hundreds of magazine editors, columnists, and radio broadcasters around the United States received an unusual cool-off care package. The contents included an ice bucket, a set of tongs, and a can of Campbell's beef bouillon. To avoid any confusion, the gift basket also contained a recipe booklet instructing what to do with the soup: Pour it into an oversized rocks glass and sip it like an Old Fashioned."
