The highly anticipated zombie-survival shooter, The Day Before, recently made its debut on PC after numerous delays and earning the title of the most wishlisted game on Steam. However, just four days after its release, the developers have shockingly announced the closure of the project due to financial failure. This article delves into the tumultuous
A recent study published in Nature Communications has uncovered new insights into the behavior of high-critical-temperature copper-based superconductors. Researchers from Politecnico di Milano, Chalmers University of Technology, and Sapienza University of Rome have discovered that these superconductors exhibit unique properties even at temperatures above the critical temperature. These findings could revolutionize the field of superconductivity
After a long wait, it seems that internet users in the European Union (EU) will soon be able to sign up for Threads, the popular Instagram app. Owned by Meta, Instagram initially launched Threads in the United States and other countries back in July. However, EU users have been unable to access the platform due
Recently, Beeper Mini, an Android app developed by former Pebble Co-Founder Eric Migicovsky, made headlines for its attempt to provide users with access to Apple’s iMessage service for a small monthly fee.

Roboticists and computer scientists have long been working on developing computational techniques that can replicate the complex motions and coordination of human limbs in robots. To this end, a research group consisting of members from Intel Labs, University College London (UCL), and VERSES Research Lab conducted a study to explore the motor control of autonomous
The release of The Finals during The Game Awards was met with overwhelming excitement and anticipation. The popularity of the game has only grown since the open beta last month. However, amidst the positive reception, there has been some negative feedback from players regarding the perceived slowdown in player movement compared to the beta version.
In their quest to create miniaturized and lightweight optics, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have successfully developed compact, visible wavelength achromats using 3D printing and porous silicon. This breakthrough in materials science and engineering has enormous potential for various applications in imaging technology. The innovative hybrid micro-optics developed by the team offer high
EU member states and lawmakers have reached a groundbreaking agreement on regulating artificial intelligence (AI) models, following 36 hours of intense negotiations. This “historic” deal, which took place in Brussels, paves the way for the EU to become the first continent to establish clear rules for the use of AI. The agreement aims to strike
