Space travel isn’t just about rockets and moon landings—it’s also a giant science experiment. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a test flight around the Moon, but hidden among them were four tiny lab tools no bigger than USB drives. These aren’t ordinary gadgets; they’re organ chips

Sixteen volunteers ate foods known to turn stomachs into bioreactors, then sat in a lab while tubes were taped to their backsides. Yes, the goal was flatulence. No, the researchers weren’t jo
The federal government has just replaced the old SAVE plan with two fresh repayment options under the RISE program, and anyone with a federal student loan has about three months to pick one.
