Scientists have figured out exactly which parts of a cobalt‑based material make it good at turning glycerol into useful energy. Instead of guessing, they built three similar crystals that differ only in the tiny details around cobalt atoms. The key discovery was that the reaction happens mainl
Scientists have found a way to make a gout drug less likely to trigger the immune system. The drug, uricase, normally comes from a fungus called Aspergillus flavus and can cause allergic reactions in some patients. Researchers attached very small particles, called carbon dots, made from citric acid
South Korean gamers will see higher prices for the PlayStation 5 this month. Starting on May 1, Sony will raise the Disc Edition to ₩948, 000 and the Digital Edition to ₩858, 000. The upgraded PS5 Pro will cost ₩1, 298, 000. Even the PlayStation Portal remote player will climb to ₩378, 000. T
Some people think insects only have simple nerves, but research shows they can feel pain. If that is true, it raises the question: do we owe them a moral responsibility? Scientists who study animal sentience argue that many insects react to harmful stimuli in ways similar to vertebrates. They
This week in U. S. politics had it all—a cancelled foreign trip, a gunshot scare in a room full of reporters, and a soldier who made a fortune betting on a secret raid. The biggest story began when a former president cancelled plans to visit Pakistan, saying Iran’s leadership was too divided to talk
Scientists use a special method called Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatography to sort molecules that are almost identical but mirror images. These molecules, called positional isomers, can be tricky because they behave almost the same yet need separate identification. The challenge lies in figuring
This week, a cartoonist took on some of the year’s most heated topics in a way that got people talking. From Utah’s past to global power struggles, the sketches didn’t shy away from tough themes. One drawing revisited an old story—David and Goliath—but with a modern twist, asking why small voices st
Streaming wasn’t always about making its own shows—it started as a digital video store where people could finally watch whatever they wanted anytime. The turning point arrived when platforms began producing original series, not just borrowing from movie libraries. Amazon Prime Video took the lead wi
SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 is not just another tech show. It breaks the usual pattern by focusing on four clear areas, each with real demos and people who made them possible. The event partners with a major tech media outlet, giving startups a chance to jump into a bigger launchpad if they shine. A
Scientists tested what happens when tiny plastic fibers and a common insect killer show up together in the water where young tilapia live. Over six weeks, fish exposed to both pollutants grew less and ate food less efficiently than fish exposed to just one or none at all. Their guts showed damage to
