A solar panel factory in South Carolina is under scrutiny after a wave of emergency calls raised questions about workplace safety. Lawmakers recently asked the state labor department to dig deeper into 13 reported incidents over the past year where employees needed medical attention. Many calls invo
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
Scientists recently uncovered something cool about small, young stars scattered across our galaxy. These stars, called M dwarfs, often host large donut-shaped rings of superhot gas, or plasma, trapped by their magnetic fields. Instead of just being odd cosmic decorations, these rings are actually wo
Older fishermen who dive for their work show a mix of health traits that scientists want to understand. Researchers first looked at how the blood vessels, body shape, and everyday habits of these men differ from younger people. They also measured how strong the fishermen’s arms and legs were d
Recent science shows that a simple gas—hydrogen—is more than just a building block of water. Because it is so small, the molecule can slip through cell walls and even the blood‑brain barrier, reaching places that many medicines cannot. Researchers have tested hydrogen in a variety of ways: breathing
The Atlanta Falcons still lack a solid inside linebacker after Kaden Elliss left for the Saints, and analysts say they can address this gap before next season. A recent perspective lists the Falcons as one of six teams that could snag former All‑Pro Bobby Wagner, a 36‑year‑old linebacker known fo
Citation mistakes can mess up how fair and trustworthy research looks. The words people use to talk about these errors are mixed up and not always clear. Because of this confusion, scholars often disagree about what counts as a problem. A new idea helps sort out the chaos by looking closely at
Every year, billions of used alkaline batteries end up in landfills, leaking harmful metals like zinc and manganese. Instead of just chucking them away, scientists found a clever way to give these batteries a second job. They turned battery scrap into tiny particles that can purify dirty water under
At just 29 years old, someone known as Chorney turned his side hustle into a million-dollar business—without ever finishing high school. Before that, he was cleaning offices for $14 an hour, barely keeping up with bills. His first cleaning business barely made $242, 000 its first year. But after add
A team of researchers from Japan and Germany discovered a way to make solar cells produce more useful energy than the light they absorb, reaching about 130 % efficiency. The trick involves a special molybdenum metal complex that can capture extra energy created by a process called singlet fission. I
