Colossal describes something as being very large in size, degree, or amount, as in I went to a colossal shopping mall that stretched for a mile. If something is colossal, it is enormous, gigantic, or massive.
Both colossal and colossus make a reference to the Colossus of Rhodes, an enormous statue of a Greek god that was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The statue was said to be over 100 feet tall, and it was once a common myth that it straddled the harbor of Rhodes. The statue fell after an earthquake that occurred in the third century BCE.
Performed in four fifteen-minute quarters with a half-time show, featuring a dance company, a drum corps, and a fully-padded cast, Colossal is an epic event that simultaneously celebrates and attacks our nation's most popular form of theatre: football.
"It truly is colossal, smartly presenting a subject that is epic in scope and setting - a college football field in Texas - and enhancing it with little moments that speak of various kinds of relationships between men: fathers and sons, teammates, mentors, and lovers." - Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Read More

Reaching combined body and tentacle lengths up to 46 feet (14 m) and weights of at least 1100 pounds (500 kg), the colossal squid is a very large deep-sea predator. Like in many large species, all the largest individuals are female. They eat small and large fishes (including the Patagonian toothfish) and other squids. Their tentacles are covered with suckers that are equipped with strong, sharp hooks, used in both capturing prey and fighting off predation. Writers have often imagined that this species engages in fierce battles with sperm whales, leaving both species injured. Most southern Sperm Whales are covered with scars from colossal squid hooks. Other diving mammals (including the southern elephant seal) and large Southern Ocean predators feed on juvenile colossal squid, but the sperm whale is the only species known to take adults. Specific mating behaviors are unknown in this species, but it reproduces via internal fertilization.
Colossal squid are only rarely captured in deep-sea fisheries targeting other species. In almost every case, they have been captured trying to feed on hooked fishes rather than in nets. This species is not targeted commercially and is likely naturally rare. In a recent analysis, scientists reported that the colossal squid is a species of least concern. As it is an important prey species for charismatic, protected species like sperm whales and southern elephant seals, it is vital that scientists determine its population trends and continue to study its biology and ecology.

Colossal electroresistance (CER) in manganites, i.e., a large change in electrical resistance as a function of varying applied electric field or applied electric current, has often been described as complimentary to the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect. Mixed valence vanadates with active t2g and empty eg orbitals, unlike manganites, have not naturally been discussed in this context, as double exchange based CMR is not realizable in them. However, presence of coupled spin and orbital degrees of freedom, metal-insulator transition (MIT) accompanied by orbital order-disorder transition, still make the vanadates important. Here we probe a Fe-doped hollandite lead vanadate PbFe1.75V4.25O11 (PFVO), which exhibits a clear MIT as a function of temperature. Most importantly, a giant fall in the resistivity, indicative of a CER, as well as a systematic shift in the MIT towards higher temperatures are observed with increasing applied current. Detailed structural, magnetic, thermodynamic, and transport studies point towards a complex interplay between the structural distortion, orbital order/disorder effect, and the resultant MIT and magnetic ordering in this system.
Fe and V K-edge EXAFS fitting results. Left: Experimental data (violet dots) best-fit (blue line) are shown in k space. Individual single scattering paths (light violet lines) used in the analysis and the residual k2χexp- k2χteo are also presented, vertically shifted for clarity. Right: k2-weighted Fourier transform (FT) moduli FT and imaginary part of experimental data (violet dots) along with the respective best fit curves (blue lines).
(a) Fe K-edge XANES spectra (open red circles). Inset shows the first-derivative curve (open blue circles) of the normalized Fe K-absorption spectrum. (b) Illustration of the pre-edge peak (open dark cyan circles), after subtracting the background (solid red line) from the normalized experimental absorption spectrum (open wine circles), indicating centroid energy position and the integrated intensity of the pre-edge peak. (c) Integrated intensity of the pre-edge peak is plotted against the centroid energy position for a variety of Fe-based reference samples, showing a range of Fe-valences and local coordination geometry around Fe. This figure is adopted from Phys. Rev. B 27, 4 (1983); the solid yellow circle corresponds to the centroid energy position and integrated intensity for our PFVO sample. (d) V K-edge XANES spectra of PFVO and reference V-oxides. The experimental spectra (dots) have been fitted to a sigmoid shaped step function (s) (full lines) to reproduce the raising of the edge step, plus gaussian (g) peaks to reproduce the pre-edge features. An example of XANES fitting for PFVO spectrum is presented in the insert.

(b) Zout Jhan-teller distortion along Z axis and off centering movement of V(1) along Z axis and within basal plane at 300 K, and the derived energy levels. (c) Zout Jahn-Teller distortion along Z axis and off centering movement of V(1) only along Z axis at 15 K with the corresponding energy level diagram.
