Detroit has been nearly unstoppable at home this season, winning eight of their last nine games there, while Cleveland struggles on the road with zero wins in
Every time a car rolls over a wet street, tiny bits of rubber fly off the tires. These microplastics don’t just float away. They change shape, break into smaller pieces, and latch onto other chemicals already stuck to them. Scientists wanted to see what happens when these tire bits get ground down e
Some headaches last all day and ignore medicine. Doctors say a few of these pains come from nerves that feel squeezed by nearby tissue or muscle. These are called trigger‑site headaches. When the occipital nerve in the back of the neck is squeezed, pain starts behind the neck and spreads to one s
In Colorado, young people aren’t waiting for adults to teach them about drugs—they’re doing it themselves. Groups like Rise Above Colorado skip the boring lectures and use art, websites, and even podcasts to share real facts. Instead of warnings that don’t work, they focus on science and real-life s

By mid-afternoon, English football ramps up, with a Championship Playoff semifinal on CBS and the Premier League’s Leeds
Scientists recently found that tiny cages made of ice can dramatically alter chemical reactions when exposed to ultraviolet light. These cages, called clathrate hydrates, act like microscopic labs where chemicals get trapped and behave differently than they would in open space. Researchers tested ac
ABC has decided to keep its new series, RJ Decker, on the air for 2026‑27, leaving only one hour‑long slot for new shows. This choice makes it hard to add a spinoff of the popular crime drama The Rookie, which had already filmed its pilot and included a crossover episode. The network’s silence on th
In the wide grasslands of northern China, two types of plants often compete for space: tough perennial grasses and colorful flowering forbs. Scientists have long noticed that these plants don’t just look different—they also affect the soil and nutrients in contrasting ways. Leaves from grasses and f
