Richard Gadd explains why Half Man doesn’t “pull punches” and why its most violent scenes are essential

As a movie and TV fan, I was really interested in what Tim Davie had to say about the violence in this new drama. He was talking about whether showing that level of intensity was the right thing for the BBC, especially considering it’s a collaboration with HBO, who are known for being a bit bolder with that kind of content. It’s a valid question – the BBC and HBO definitely have different approaches sometimes!

Star Wars, The Hobbit, And One Piece Lead This Week’s Biggest Collectible Auctions

Let’s look at a popular comic book character outside of Marvel and DC: Spawn, created by Todd McFarlane. While Spawn first gained fame in comics, a great animated series on HBO in 1999 really brought the dark and intense feel of the comics to life. Now, Heritage Auctions is offering a production cel from that series – specifically, a 12-field cel of Spawn moving through a shadowy alley. The auction includes the original animation drawing as well, and you can start bidding with just $1.

Shaping Molecules with Light

Calculations employing the QED-UHF method and expansive basis sets-aug-cc-pVTZ and aug-cc-pVQZ-map the potential energy surfaces of cavity-coupled hydrogen rings, demonstrating that the lowest-energy spin state [latex]m_S[/latex] is uniquely determined by both the dimerization angle δ and the strength of magnetic cavity coupling λ, with ground state ring geometries centered on the origin and subjected to a perpendicular quantum magnetic field.

Researchers are demonstrating how to sculpt molecular potential energy surfaces using magnetic cavity quantum electrodynamics, opening new avenues for controlling chemical reactions and material properties.
