As a huge fan of cyberpunk, I always found Johnny Mnemonic fascinating. It stars Keanu Reeves as a ‘data courier’ – basically, someone who carries information inside his brain. The catch? He’s got 48 hours to get this information out, or it’ll kill him! The movie follows Johnny as he races against time, with the help of a tough bodyguard named Jane (Dina Meyer), to find the passwords he needs. But he quickly learns he’s being chased by both ruthless criminals and the very people who put the data in his head – everyone wants what he’s carrying, and they’ll do anything to get it.
![The calculation of the thermally averaged effective cross section for a scalar particle-specifically one mirroring the quantum properties of up-type quarks-demonstrates that incorporating bound state formation, decay, and transitions among those states significantly alters predictions, a difference most pronounced when considering scenarios involving color-charged but electrically neutral particles at masses around [latex]10^6[/latex] GeV and employing running QCD and QED couplings.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.23812v1/x1.png)
A new computational tool dramatically accelerates calculations of how dark matter particles interacted in the early universe, paving the way for more comprehensive cosmological modeling.

I just watched the full trailer for Wonder Man, coming to Disney+ on January 27th, and it seems like the crackdown on unregistered superheroes is still very much happening. The Department of Damage Control – that government agency dealing with powered individuals – is clearly still active, and they’re not just going after villains. They’re even targeting people with powers who aren’t actively trying to be heroes, which sets up a really interesting conflict.
