Marvel Comics has had a vast amount of movies released over the years. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had 27 movies as of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel movies were coming out long before that in both the cinema and on television. The Avengers, the X-Men, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Blade, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and more characters have been adapted for the big screen.

Brooklyn Beckham has been mocked around the world this week for embarking on a career as a celebrity chef without being able to cook. Each eight-minute episode of Cookin’ With Brooklyn was reported by the New York Post to have cost $100,000 and required a production team of 62 people, to help the heir to the Beckham millions create such items as cheesy pasta and a fish and chip sandwich. Although, to be fair, they do not say how many of the 62 were focused exclusively on coming up with the show’s title. I’m guessing at least 40. The problem with involving 62 people in the making of a sandwich, though, is that even with all the buttering and folding and putting on a plate, Source link

Anupreet Kaur · Follow Feb 10 · 10 min read Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash Abstract This research reviews what “real” Artificial Intelligence (AI) is and what it is not. It focuses on the history of AI and how it came to be — the Past; its evolution and how it is currently being used in various sectors of the society — the Present; and what to expect from AI, the trends, the technologies being planned in the field of AI — the Future. It also discusses the serious risks that come with developing an intelligent technology, and the efforts and measures required to curb them to the maximum extent. Introduction Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) changing the future of the world for the better or destroying it? Is it true that highly advanced technology and machinery can take over the human… Source link

Piercing the gloom surrounding the shift to non-carbon energy sources and the transitional costs involved is a glimmer of light. We have seen it before, but it has invariably been snuffed out. It is nuclear fusion, the Holy Grail of power generation, the same process that fuels the sun and other stars. Scientists have been trying for 50 years to replicate the intense heat required to bring about the molecular reaction necessary for fusion. There was a moment when two researchers claimed they had discovered cold fusion, which would have solved the world’s energy problems overnight, but it was not to be. While the prospect of achieving fusion has always been at least 30 years away, there have been indications recently that serious advances are now being made. The Jet laboratory, near… Source link

Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen gave a rare update on the often delayed Tesla Roadster. The designer says that Tesla is still “feverishly” working on the electric hypercar that will be an “exciting flying machine.” The new generation of the Roadster has been one of the most delayed programs at Tesla. When first unveiling the next-generation Tesla Roadster in 2017, CEO Elon Musk said that it would come to market in 2020. Tesla started taking reservations at the unveiling event for the impressive electric supercar that goes zero to 60 mph in 1.9 seconds with over 600 miles of range. People who wanted to be first in line to get the vehicle had to put down between $50,000 and $250,000 in deposits. The vehicle program was later delayed, and the CEO said that it… Source link

The 59 megajoules of fusion-generated energy is double the previous record set in 1997 The Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Oxfordshire has broken new nuclear fusion energy records in a major breakthrough on the elusive power source. A group of scientists and engineers from the EUROfusion consortium achieved a record-breaking 59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy, marking a new milestone in the quest for a large-scale safe, sustainable, efficient and low-carbon energy supply. The energy, created by smashing together two forms of hydrogen, was more than double the previous record achieved in 1996 at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and lasted for a five-second period. Using fusion energy, the process that gives the sun its power, JET reached temperatures ten times… Source link

Amid the continued rally in oil prices, Saudi Aramco raised its official selling price for crude exported to Asia, with its flagship Arab Light cargos for March up by $0.60 per barrel to a total $2.80 per barrel premium over the benchmark. According to Bloomberg, this is the highest price for Arab Light since March 2020, just before the pandemic struck, devastating demand and with it, prices. Oil prices right now are at the highest in years, with Brent crude touching $94 per barrel in Asian trading today and West Texas Intermediate trading at over $92 per barrel for the first time since 2014. This week, however, reports that the United States and Iran might be nearing a deal on Iran’s nuclear program and U.S. sanctions caused fluctuations in oil prices. If Iran sanctions… Source link
