When aliens finally visit, one issue we may have is communication. In my new interview with author Joshua T. Calvert about his hard sci-fi novel "The Object," the aliens are, "so fundamentally different...that finding common ground for communication seems almost impossible."

Watched Project: Hail Mary today. Wow, great movie 🤩

I read and loved the book, so there were no big surprises but a lot of expectations for me 😅
It is an adaption that is true to the book, only minor changes and abbreviations (as far as I remember).

For hard-sci-fi fans a strong recommendation.

What part of writing do I enjoy most?

There are so many parts of the process that I genuinely enjoy — building the world, imagining future technology, and developing each character and their background.

But if I had to choose one, it would be the character interactions.

That moment when a scene suddenly clicks is incredibly rewarding. When the dialogue flows naturally and the characters start reacting to each other in ways that feel real, it almost feels like I’m watching the story unfold rather than writing it.

Those are the moments that make all the planning and effort worth it.

if you write or read, what part do you enjoy the most?

How “Empty Space” Is Supercharging Atomically Thin Semiconductors

A single layer of atoms may seem too thin to meaningfully interact with light, yet materials like tungsten disulfide are reshaping what is possible in nanophotonics. Researchers have now found a way to dramatically strengthen these interactions. Atomically thin semiconductors such as tungsten dis
