Granblue Fantasy: Relink is the latest installment in the series, and from the beginning of the game, it wastes no time jumping into the thick of the story. As someone who’s never played any of the games before this one, it was a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I was immediately thrown into an epic anime fight, but on the other, I had no clue who I was playing or what I was even fighting.

The hydrogel fibres printed on the glass are covered by partially crosslinked dangling chains, exhibiting great affinity toward water molecules. They act like the grooves on the integuments of lizards to collect droplets and their surface could form a hydration layer to mimic the mucus on the catfish skin to make droplet movement more smooth and quick (image credit: ©Science China Press). A new study suggests ways to improve the effectiveness of water harvesting, specifically in relation to the condensation of water from collected droplets. The work focuses on addressing

Carbon capture and sequestration in all of its various ineffective, inefficient and expensive forms is having another run up the hype cycle. Nothing has really changed. The problems still exist. The alternatives are still better. The potential for use is still minuscule. And so, the CCS Redux series, republishing old CCS articles with minor edits. Carbon capture and sequestration is expensive because it has three components, each with its own expensive challenges: capture, distribution, and

Atlus are certainly spoiling us over here on the green side of the fence, aren’t they? After years of no Persona games at all on the Xbox ecosystem, in the recent past we have had Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable, not to mention Persona 5 Tactica. Well, strap yourself in, as the bus analogy continues with the release of Persona 3 Reload, a remake of the seminal Persona 3.  When I reviewed Persona 3 Portable, I gave it a 4.5 score, stating that although the

It's a Ubisoft open-worlder to its core, but this spin on the world of Avatar has some really special moments. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora first clicked for me when things got grim. Away from the cascading ferns and artfully twisted tree trunks, far from fronds and petals and whole plants that briskly pulled themselves underground as I approached, I found an RDA camp that seemed to be mining something from the earth. The RDA are the villains in this world, and they're us: they're the humans. Here, they had sunk

(Courtesy: Computational Biophysics Group - Auburn University) A new study on the mechanical stability of bonds between the spike protein on the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its receptors on human cells during infection has revealed differences in the binding stability of viral variants such as Omicron and Delta. The finding, from researchers in the Netherlands, Germany and the US, could help explain why some variants spread more quickly than others. SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, contains four

The European Union recently passed a new tech regulation called the Digital Markets Act (DMA), targeting digital "gatekeepers"--like Apple--and requiring them to allow third-party app stores, among other things. In complying with the new regulations, Apple has introduced even more fees, and the developers who publish apps on iOS aren't happy about it.Xbox's Sarah Bond is the latest to comment on the fee structure, quoting a tweet from Spotify head Daniel Ek where he claims the new fees are simply a way of forcing developers to stick with the status
