In early 2025, a reality TV personality found himself locked up after a serious fight with the law. Reports say he was accused of a brutal act inside prison—a cellmate was killed, with officers describing the scene as a motionless body in a shared cell. Now, the accused man is fighting to have his m
The Trump administration has proposed a new rule that could change how science funding works in the U. S. Instead of letting experts decide where research money goes, political leaders might step in. This could reshape who gets funding and why. Right now, science funding often follows peer-reviewed
A fresh government plan could reshape how America funds science by giving political leaders more control over which studies receive federal money. Scientists worry this shift might push aside long-standing expert review processes that have shaped major breakthroughs in medicine, climate understandin
Watch Hill looks like a postcard stuck in time. The small corner of Rhode Island feels more like a 19th-century painting than a modern town. Instead of towering condos or flashy beach clubs, you find narrow lanes lined with large shingle-style homes that have watched storms roll by for generations.
KBR, a company that builds and runs big projects worldwide, just won a huge 20‑year contract to support research stations in Antarctica. The deal will start in June 2026 and should give the firm a steady stream of income for years to come. Still, investors are uneasy. In recent weeks the stock ha
The study looks at the food habits of people buried in a 1, 500‑year‑old cemetery in Padua, Italy. Researchers measured two types of stable isotopes—carbon and nitrogen—in bone samples from 19 adults and 16 animals. These chemicals act like fingerprints that tell scientists whether a person ate main
Scientists now believe they can fix broken brains, not just study them. The Allen Institute in Seattle has launched a major project called the Brain Health accelerator to develop gene-based treatments for disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, and Huntington’s. Instead of just understanding h
Scientists have developed a quicker way to measure tiny molecules in our blood that might affect heart disease and metabolism. These molecules come from gut bacteria and our own cells, and they could reveal new clues about health issues like diabetes or heart problems. The old testing methods only c
Researchers wanted to check if women could accurately remember when their periods stopped naturally without medical records. They studied a large group over many years to see if these memories were consistent. The study focused on whether self-reported menopause ages matched up over time. Self-repo
A new fiber sensor can spot tiny starch traces in water used for cleaning food. It helps stop cross‑contamination and keeps water clean. The device is built from a special fiber design that mixes regular multimode fiber with a core‑less section. A gel layer sits on the core‑less part to capture star
