Dark Matter review: Apple’s Sad Dad sci-fi series is cool but shallow
Dark Matter, both broadly and specifically, is a show made with me in mind—or at least a version of me that might exist. Overall, the Apple drama raises some big …
Research team discovers new properties of light
UC Irvine chemistry professors Dmitry Fishman (right) and Eric Potema have made groundbreaking discoveries about the way light interacts with solid matter in silicon. Their work may improve the efficiency …
Apple’s dark matter should change the way we think about the multiverse
Let’s get this straight: New Apple TV+ Shows dark matterAdapted from the novel by Blake Crouch, it actually has nothing to do with Dark Matter. I think you have to …
‘World’s purest silicon’ could lead to first million-qubit quantum computing chip
Scientists have created an enhanced form of ultrapure silicon that could one day form the basis of highly reliable “silicon spin qubits” in powerful quantum computers. Bits in classical computers …
