Thanks to the Avengers, half the beings in the universe reappeared out of thin air five years after disappearing. While Marvel fans saw how that occurred in Avengers: Endgame, that film, and the ones after it, only scratched the surface of what it all meant in-universe. Well, the premie adidas campus 80s re of Disney+s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier reveals more about the state of the world after the Blip than Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and WandaVision combined.

Tysons new brand will compete with Beyond Me adidas campus 80s at, one of the first companies along with Impossible Foods to make a completely plant-based burger that tastes exactly like a beef hamburger. The news about Tyson, first reported by The New Food Economy, comes in the wake of Beyond Meat going public in May with a $1 billion valuation. Beyond Meats stock has surged 500 percent since its IPO.

Something very strange is going on around Pluto. The icy world that sits some 3.6 billion miles from the sun appears to be emitting x-rays鈥攈igh energy radiation associated with gases with temperatures of a million degrees. That makes Pluto the furthest known x-ray source in our solar s salomon ystem. If confirmed, the finding could reshape our understanding of the dwarf planets atmosphere. Before wed seen Pluto up close, mo air force st astronomers imagined it to be a dead little nugget of ice and rock. But as the New Horizons spacecraft got closer, it started detecting signs of an atmosphere. This got a group of researchers, including Carey Lisse of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and Scott Wolk of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, wondering if Pluto might be visible in the x-ray part of the spectrum. The idea is that if the sun is emitting high energy particles, and those high energy particles hit cold gas, the atomic interactions will create an x-ray glow from a planet that we can see, Wolk told Gizmodo. Although this theory had been proven on mizuno laufschuhe nearby comets twenty years ago, most astronomers believed that Pluto was way too far from the sun to produce a detectable x-ray glow. But the presence of an atmosphere convinced Wolk that we needed to look. We had a feeling it would be possible [to detect x-rays], but we thought it would take a herculean effort, he said. Turns out, it didnt take a crazy amount of effort at all. Between February 2014 and August 2015, W

Twenty-five years ago, the live action superhero landscape was very different yeezy foam to the one we have today.

But nothing captured th yeezy slide e 90s in superheroics quite like the Power Rangers movie.

The 90s are fondly remembered as a time of comic book excess, both in the books themselves and in the myriad attempts to bring them to the silver screen. It was the days of roided-out muscles and dramatically oversized weapons, of scantily clad women and more pouches than Rob Liefeld could shake a pencil at.

Joseph Delgado is my new hero. The 21-year-old computer science student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, took his Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 and morp salomon xt hed the 8-bit NES clas adidas campus 80s sic into a virtual reality adventure. It looks super fun. The development process sounds relatively simple, too. Delgado converted the 2D sprites into 3D models with a Python script. The gray-and-orange NES Zapper is replaced by the VR handset Razer Hydras for the controller, though that iconic plastic gun still appears as your in-game weapon. Leaving the Hydras base station on a desk screws with the accuracy and response time of the controller though, so Delgado 3D-printed a headmount and stuck the base on his head. He made the game for Global Game Jam 2016, a sort of round-the-world hackathon for game developers. Delgado also tweaked the gameplay so that it hoka laufschuhe s a seven-day challenge, and each day, the ducks get faster and the game gets harder. He even made an original hub world that you access in between days that tells you your goal for the day. Its also got a TV on static and is filled with empty liquor bottles you can practice shooting on. Delgado commented on YouTube that he plans on releasing it for free, and will probably port it to HTC Vive when it comes out. Read more about his process behind making the game on his blog.

The popular electric skateboard company Boosted is now making electric scooters. The company just announced the Boosted Rev, a vehicle with handlebars, a rear fender brake, and even a mechanical disc brake. Those bikes will come in handy, too, because this thing has a top speed of 24 miles per hour. Thats speedy for a scooter! Boosted is talking up its braking system which appears to be more advanced than what competitors offer. Bird, the two-year-old electric scooter sharing company, recently announced the Bird One, a scooter you can buy and own for $1,300 but that also only offers a front motor brake and a rear drum brake. The braking system on the Boosted Rev, which the company describes as confidence-inspiring, sounds like a step up. In addition to the mechanical disk brake, theres an electronic disk brake that works by rolling the throttle wheel backward, much like you would on a Boost adidas samba ed Board. The mechanical brake works with a lever, just like what you find on a bicycle. Theres also handy LED to let you know how fast youre going and how much charge you have left.

How does a first and perhaps final season of television like Watchmens come to an end With beauty, grace, batshit comic book plot twists, and a reminder that nothing ever ends even when it seems as if everythings drawing to a close. Watchmens first season was like a mechanical watc adidas samba h with jewel movements: an intricate piece of artwork deftly assembled by master craftspeople that was both meant to be admired by those who saw it and to serve a larger, more important purpose. At times, it felt as if Watchmen might have needed a little bit of tuning up to getting it running on time, but once the series found its stride, it wasted no time meticulously laying out each of its delicate, narrative componen nike dunk ts, and then piecing them together in order to create a rich story.

All materials react to salomon wanderschuhe heat in some way. But this new shape-changing polymer reacts to temperatures as small as the touch of human skin to contract鈥攊n the process lifting as much as 1,000 times its own weight. The polymer, developed by researchers from the University of Rochester, is a new material that reacts to mechanical forces by becoming increasingly crystalline. As the number of crystals increases, it becomes fixed into a temporarily deformed shape. Thats achieved by including a complex mixture of molecular linkers to connect the individual polymer strands in just the right way. In fact, the researchers have combined them in such a way that heating the polymer to just above 99 degrees Fahrenheit causes its to contract back to its original shape. Because its fairly strong, the process of returning to shape also allows its to lift object nike af s that weigh 1,000 times more than its own weight. You can see that happening in nike sb dunk this gif, where a heater causes a fine ribbon of polymer to lift a chunk of KNex.
