Scientists have known for years that videogames teach hand-eye coordination, that videogamers are more aware of their surroundings, and that they make quicker decisions than non-gamers. Knowing that, you could assume that videogaming makes people better drivers. But you know what happens when you assume, don’t you? It turns out
For some of us, which teams were on the field last night was only the SECOND most important thing about the Super Bowl. What’s more important is that outside of Comic-Con, Super Bowl Sunday’s the best time to catch the most awesome (and not-so-awesome) trailers for Hollywood’s blockbuster movies and
Following quickly on the debut of the film’s poster, Marvel Studios launched the first trailer for “Captain America: The First Avenger” today during the Super Bowl. A tie-in digital comic also debuted online. Set during World War II, “Captain America” stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, a man who registers
Scientists used to think that the huge sea of sand dunes at the Martian north pole—a sea the size of Texas—was fairly unchanging. But new NASA photos reveal avalanches caused by the Martian spring thaw. Photos taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter of the basalt sand dunes near the north
Chris Evans gets somber, reflective and covered in debris for the first poster for Marvel’s World War II action flick. But is this the right tone to set for the star-spangled hero? In a word, yes. This is, after all, a hero fighting in WWII and the cloudy, murky blast-weariness

We’ve known for a while that Nick Fury would be popping up in Captain America, and hoped and assumed that he’d be appearing in Thor, too. But we weren’t 100 percent sure until we heard Samuel L. Jackson say it himself. Jackson appeared last night on Jimmy Fallon Live, where
NASA’s awesomely named deep-space observatory, the Kepler Planet Hunter, has been designed to scour space for planets less massive than Earth. The latest data, released on February 2, is an astronomer’s dream come true: the Planet Hunter has tagged 1,235 objects as possible planets. That’s three times as many planets
Some of us are waiting for the return of our beloved (and surviving) Torchwood characters with the intensity of a 5-year-old on Christmas Eve. Although we’ll have to keep waiting, these set photos should help pass the time until summer 2011. The name of the 10-episode season is Torchwood: Miracle
The ever-secretive Christopher Nolan has recruited another Inception veteran for this climactic chapter in his Bat-odyssey. But who could the fleet-footed Gordon-Levitt be playing? This is becoming an almost weekly game: “Who will the villains be? Who’s gonna get cast? This person got cast, but not as a villain we
