Researchers tracked fatal police shootings from 2015 to 2022 across more than 3, 000 U. S. counties. They found that out of every 10, 000 people, Black residents were 15 times more likely to be shot and killed by police than White residents. Hispanic residents faced about 2. 5 times higher risk than
The idea that only humans can solve mysteries is a myth. In the 1920s, a pig named Freddy cracked his first case and later became famous for reading Sherlock Holmes to other farm animals.

Whale sharks drift through tropical seas like underwater buses, carrying a map of bright spots and stripes. Their calm demeanor and striking looks draw crowds to spots like Ningaloo Reef in Australia. Now, a new visitor shares their skies: drones. These buzzing eyes in the sky let researchers peek a
NASA’s Curiosity rover hit an unexpected snag on Mars when a chunk of rock refused to let go after drilling. The stubborn slab, nicknamed Atacama, weighed about 30 pounds—roughly as heavy as a big dog—and stuck to the drill bit like glue. Engineers had to tilt, spin, and shake the drill for days bef

A gathering in Chicago last week brought together people who usually don’t share the same stage. Imams, rabbis, and pastors sat together—not to debate their beliefs, but to talk about how they could work together. The event wasn’t about converting anyone or changing minds. Instead, it focused on sha
The U. S. Navy is testing small, cheap boats that can run on their own. These robot boats, called TSUNAMI USVs, ran tests last month in Florida. They didn’t carry people, but they still did useful work. The boats mix commercial boat parts with military brainpower. Mercury Marine engines and Navico e
The Roaring Twenties in Paris weren't all jazz and champagne. Behind the glitter lay a world where love could turn deadly, and art often came with a price.
