Fragile Magnets: How Defects Control Nanoparticle Behavior

These three Nintendo Switch games aren’t specifically made for the new Nintendo Switch 2, but you can still play them on the new console because it’s compatible with older games. Plus, these games don’t demand a lot of graphical power, so even if there were versions made for the Switch 2, you probably wouldn’t notice a huge difference compared to the original Switch versions.

From February 8th to 15th, the movie Twisters ranked as the eighth most popular title on Netflix worldwide. It garnered 3.1 million views and a total of 6.4 million hours of watch time. Twisters just trailed Russell Crowe’s Noah in the top 10, but outperformed films like Homefront and Norbit. This marked the first week Twisters appeared in Netflix’s top 10.

Here is a look at the seven deadliest Kingpin assassins, ranked by power.

A key reason why the game Thief is so highly regarded is its realistic approach to stealth. The game carefully considers how light, sound, and the player’s actions all affect whether or not enemies can spot you. Enemy vision isn’t just a simple line of sight; it’s influenced by sounds and light sources in the environment. While the 2014 Thief remake didn’t emphasize this as much, games like Alien Isolation successfully use this system to create truly immersive and engaging experiences.

The 2016 film Assassin’s Creed was intended to launch a movie franchise based on the popular Ubisoft video game series. The movie boasted a strong cast, including Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, and Jeremy Irons, and didn’t simply retell a game story, instead crafting a new one within the same world. Plans were already underway for two sequels, with one even in early development while the first film was being made. However, the movie was poorly received by both critics and audiences – it currently has a 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – and didn’t perform well financially, effectively ending any possibility of further films.

If you’re following the MonsterVerse movies and shows, here’s the order they were released: Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, the Skull Island anime on Netflix, Season 1 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and the upcoming Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. Let’s take a closer look at where Season 2 of Monarch fits into this timeline.

As of now, there’s no confirmed release date for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Part 2. However, Ufotable has announced that the film won’t be released until sometime after 2026. During an update about upcoming projects, the film was listed as a “Future Project,” meaning it’s not scheduled for 2026. This suggests fans shouldn’t expect the next Demon Slayer film until at least 2027.
