Superman review: You’ll believe James Gunn’s DCU can fly Supermanis abigmovie; so much so, it almost collapses in on itself. Yet, it emerges as one of the most stirring, enormously joyoussuperhero moviesof the past 20 years. Twelve years ago, Zack Snyder launched theDCEUwith Man of Steel, a movie that’s somehow under and overrated. Compounded with the lackluster response to 2006’s Superman Returns, BvS’ crash-landing, and the disastrous Josstice League (the Snyder Cut is fine), a question needs to be asked: is Superman… boring?...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have built a cheetah-inspired robot. But it doesn’t look quite like what you’re probably expecting. While we’re used to robots likeBoston Dynamics’ canine-inspired, full-sized dog robots, North Carolina State’s cheetah robot is just 7 centimeters long (2.75 inches) and weighs only 45 grams (just over 1.5 ounces).
