The U. S. government just revised the rulebook for the committee that shapes vaccine recommendations for the country. The group, usually made up of doctors and scientists, now welcomes voices from toxicology and data analysis to weigh in on vaccine safety. Critics say this mix of expertise could dil
Israel quietly approved 34 new West Bank outposts in early April, a move condemned by Palestinian leaders as a direct break from international rules. While the government didn’t issue a formal announcement, local media broke the news after military censors cleared the details for publication. Most o
Melania Trump has always played by her own rules as first lady. Unlike many before her, she avoided the spotlight most of the time.

When the Orion spacecraft returns to Earth during Artemis II, it will face its biggest challenge yet. Traveling at speeds faster than a bullet, the capsule will hit temperatures hot enough to melt steel. This extreme heat is what makes the heat shield so critical - it's the only thing standing betwe

Terra Quantum plans to go public this year by merging with a blank-check firm, giving it a massive $3. 25 billion valuation. The company, founded in 2019 in St. Gallen, has already caught the attention o
Scientists use tiny, sponge-like materials called microporous materials for some really important jobs. Things like cleaning up pollution, delivering medicine inside your body, or even helping make chemicals more efficiently. But to make these materials work better, researchers first need to underst
Space travel isn’t just about rockets and moon landings—it’s also a giant science experiment. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a test flight around the Moon, but hidden among them were four tiny lab tools no bigger than USB drives. These aren’t ordinary gadgets; they’re organ chips
