Big changes are happening in the world of cable TV. Disney and Hearst, the owners of A&E, Lifetime, and History, have put these channels up for sale. This isn't the only shake-up happening. Other big companies like NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery are also selling off some of their TV channel
President Trump is pushing hard to finalize trade deals before tariffs increase for many countries. His main goals? Boost American manufacturing, increase U. S. revenue, balance trade, and pressure other nations to play by America's rules. Trump sees tariffs as a magic fix. He believes they can bri
North Carolina experienced severe flooding recently due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal. The storm caused significant damage, including the tragic loss of an 83-year-old woman in Pittsboro. Her car was swept away by floodwaters, and her body was found inside the submerged vehicle. This eve
Scientists have been curious about how the shape of molecules influences their behavior. Specifically, they want to understand how changes in the length-to-width ratio of molecules can lead to the formation of different phases, known as mesophases. This is important because these phases have unique
Ankle fractures, specifically Weber B types, can be tricky to fix. Surgeons often debate whether using a special screw, called a lag screw, helps patients heal better. This screw is designed to pull broken bone pieces together, but is it really necessary? Some doctors use it, while others don't. Th
Hip fractures are a serious issue. They often need quick surgery. This can be a big problem for hospitals. Many people don't survive the first 90 days after surgery. This makes it important to check how well hospitals are doing. In a recent study, researchers looked at different hospitals. They wan
Wearable tech is getting a major upgrade. Imagine a future where your clothes light up and show information. This is not sci-fi anymore. Scientists have made a big step forward. They created a new kind of display that can be woven into fabrics. This is not just any display. It is a fiber-based OLED
Researchers have found a new way to shape semiconductor surfaces. They used a simple cracking method on GaAs substrates. This avoids expensive photolithography and etching steps. The method creates tiny, precise V-shaped grooves. The key is a thin layer of nickel. By changing its thickness, they co
In the Gulf of Suez, a unique type of oil reservoir is gaining attention. These reservoirs are not made of typical rock layers but of fractured basement rock, like weathered granite. The Geisum Oil Field, located in the southern part of the Gulf, is a prime example of where these types of reservoirs
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has changed the game in studying tiny structures. It's faster and can handle bigger samples than before. But there's a catch: getting the samples ready is still tricky. The ice thickness can be uneven. Particles might stick to the support or line up in the same dir
