Alabama has recently made changes to how students using CHOOSE Act funds can play high school sports. The AHSAA announced that these funds won't be counted as financial aid, so students can still join sports teams. This decision follows a new law signed by the governor that ensures these students ca
Back in 2017, buying Bitcoin wasn’t simple. Most people had to wait days for exchanges to approve transactions, deal with confusing fees, or rely on traditional banks that didn’t understand digital money. That’s where Bitcoin ATMs came in—offering a quick way to turn cash into crypto right on the sp
A company known for its massive Ether stash just took the biggest quarterly hit ever, losing nearly $3. 8 billion—all because its crypto investments lost value on paper. The loss came mostly from ETH’s price drop, not from selling any coins. Yet, instead of pulling back, the firm doubled down, buyin
Researchers revisited a 2012 study that suggested Black women managers could show dominance without facing penalties that White women did.

Hate crimes against Latinos in the U. S. hit an all-time high in 2025, jumping 18% from the previous year. While most groups saw fewer hate crimes, Latino-targeted incidents kept climbing—a trend that’s continued nearly every year since 2015. California alone saw a 14. 8% increase, with 240 reported
Scientists use a method called hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to study how proteins fold. When comparing two drug versions, they need a test that shows the samples are almost identical, not just different. A new approach called TOST uses two one‑sided tests to set limits of acce
The story begins with a group of lesbians who, in the 1980s, created their own safe space in Barcelona. Over four decades, that place has seen political shifts, city changes, and the fading of many queer venues. Yet it kept going because everyone inside shared its own rules and cared for each other.
Bitcoin is stuck at a key price point and cannot keep moving higher. After a brief climb to about $76, 000, it fell back near $73, 900. The price is being watched closely because $75, 000 acts as both a goal and a limit. Other major cryptocurrencies like ether, XRP and solana are also dropp
Large vision‑language models are getting smarter, but they can still favor certain groups. Researchers noticed that the tools used to spot these biases were limited in size and scope. To fill that gap, a new test set called VLBiasBench was created. The benchmark covers nine common bias them
Scientists found that ash from Spain’s 2021 Tajogaite volcano could help make greener building materials. They mixed it with strong alkaline solutions and tested how it behaves in water. The tests showed some metals like molybdenum (Mo) leak out more than allowed for safe landfills. Other experimen
