A high school in Waukegan made a smart move by putting 932 solar panels on its big roof. The school used to pay a lot for electricity—now it saves over $94, 000 every year. That money now helps teens from families with fewer resources go to college instead of going toward power bills. The panels do
A German artist’s carnival float mocking Russia’s top leader and its top clergyman has triggered a rare legal reaction beyond Germany’s borders. The Moscow court handed down a prison sentence to Jacques Tilly, a sculptor known for pushing boundaries with his floats, even though he never set foot in
Medical research shapes how countries handle health problems, but most studies come from wealthy nations. This leaves poorer countries with solutions that don’t always fit their needs. Local journals help change that by making research more accessible and practical for communities that need it most.

The Weather Channel isn’t just stuck in the past—it’s also racing into the future. This week, it launched two very different ways to check the forecast. One is a brand-new AI-powered tool called Storm Radar, designed for anyone who wants quick, personalized weather updates. The other is a nostalgic
Doctors now have a new trick to handle a tricky heart problem. When a heart beats too fast or skips beats, it’s often hard to pinpoint the exact spot causing the trouble. A recent study tested a high-tech tool that builds a super-detailed copy of a patient’s heart to find the best fix. The method u
Doctors notice growing trends where fresh parents skip trusted newborn routines. Vitamin K shots protect babies from serious bleeding problems but some families now say no. In one state hospital, half the newborns one day didn’t get the shot at all. A recent nationwide study found refusals nearly do
A local college just opened a high-tech center to train future nurses and other health workers. The building has rooms filled with lifelike dummies and high-tech tools. Instead of just reading books, students now practice on realistic mannequins that can mimic real medical situations. The center cos
