Imagine if detecting skin cancer could be as simple as snapping a picture. Scientists are working on just that! They're using a special kind of computer program called convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and these aren't your average programs. They're like super-smart detectives that can spot patt
In January 2025, Donald Trump became the 47th U. S. president during an indoor ceremony at the U. S. Capitol, with numerous notable figures making an appearance.

Ever wondered if siblings share similar fingerprints? That's what a recent study explored. Scientists compared thumbprints of 72 sibling pairs and 72 non-sibling pairs from 36 families. Using the Jaccard Similarity Index, they found a surprising 69. 44% similarity in thumbprint patterns among siblin
Bone stress injuries (BSIs) are a common problem for college athletes, especially those who run long distances like cross-country and track runners.

Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Tim Cook were all there. Together, these four men are worth almost $1 trillion! That's more than half of the lower half
Imagine if we could watch electrons zoom past in real time. Attosecond science is making that possible, with super-fast laser pulses that shine light on matter for billionths of a billionth of a second! This isn't just cool to watch—it could revolutionize how we solve problems, harness solar power,
Lately, Australia has seen a surge in anti-Semitic crimes, with a recent incident involving a childcare center near a Sydney synagogue. The center was set on fire and decorated with anti-Semitic graffiti. No one was injured, but the building was badly damaged. This isn’t the first attack. Since the
