Earlier in the season, Lamb shared a story about a secret agent who endured terrible torture with his pregnant partner, all for information that turned out to be useless. The season finale then revealed that Lamb himself was the agent in the story.
![An accelerated discovery workflow integrates physical principles, generative modeling ([latex]MatterGen[/latex]), machine learning potential prescreening ([latex]MatterSim[/latex]), and high-throughput density functional theory validation to efficiently identify and analyze candidate electride materials, systematically filtering compositions based on defined metrics and retaining only those meeting stringent stability criteria.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.21077v1/Fig1.png)
A novel computational framework combining artificial intelligence and materials science dramatically accelerates the discovery of inorganic electrides with unique electronic properties.
The differences between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings create some puzzling plot holes. For example, why didn’t Gandalf connect Bilbo Baggins with the One Ring earlier? Was Gandalf simply preoccupied with other issues? And how did Smaug, the dragon, manage to survive when other dragons from Morgoth’s time did not? Furthermore, why did Sauron feel the need to conceal himself? While Tolkien addressed many of these inconsistencies in his other writings, he actually had to revise The Hobbit after it was originally published to resolve one of them.
Being nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys is a huge honor, and the list of nominees is always full of talent. Interestingly, the artists who didn’t win the award are just as successful and well-known. Think of stars like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Nicki Minaj – they were all nominated but didn’t take home the trophy!
HBO’s Casey Bloys told Deadline that the new Harry Potter series is still on track for a 2027 release, and they’re currently aiming for early in the year. He wasn’t able to give a more specific date, like a particular month, but confirmed the target is still early 2027.
Dragon Ball Z, the second main series in the Dragon Ball saga and the last one directly overseen by creator Akira Toriyama before numerous sequels and spin-offs appeared, originally premiered in Japan on April 26, 1989. It ran for 291 episodes, concluding on January 31, 1996. While hugely popular in Japan from the start, it didn’t reach Western audiences until after its Japanese run ended, finally finishing its broadcast there in 2003. Even today, many fans consider Dragon Ball Z to be the best part of the entire franchise, and its impact continues to be felt.
Ncuti Gatwa finished his run as the Time Lord in May’s ‘The Reality War,’ with the character regenerating into Piper, who fans will remember as Rose Tyler’s companion.
Alastair Duncan is returning as Mimir, the funny and wise head Kratos carries. Danny Woodburn and Jeff Gulka will once again play the dwarven blacksmiths Brok and Sindri.
While the price action has more drama than a reality TV reunion, all signs point to a cozy, boring consolidation instead of a full-blown apocalypse-so go ahead, breathe.
Bruno Mars is releasing his fourth studio album, The Romantic, on February 27th – ten years after his hugely successful 24K Magic. He’s stayed busy in the meantime, working with other artists, which is why it might not feel like it’s been that long since his last album.
