Back in 2016, after Russia started building a 19-kilometre bridge across the Kerch Strait to link mainland Russia with Crimea, Ukraine decided to challenge the move in an international court. Fast forward to April 22, but made public only on Monday, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague de
Every year, studies get taken back from journals after mistakes or bad behavior are found. But digging into why retractions happen often gets ignored. Most research on this topic just counts how many papers get pulled without asking tough questions about the system itself. A closer look shows someth
Follicular lymphoma is a slow-growing cancer that often comes back after treatment, especially in people whose disease worsens within two years of starting therapy. For years, chemoimmunotherapy was the go-to option, but now doctors are turning to gentler treatments that don’t rely on chemotherapy.

Research shows that a month of simple strength exercises can actually speed up how fast the brain talks to muscles—even in older adults. In one study, people aged 18 to 84 tried handgrip training three times a week. After four weeks, their nerve signals traveled faster than before, proving the nervo
The newest thrill at Six Flags Over Texas is set to launch in September 2026, and it promises to outdo every other coaster in the park. The ride, called Tormenta Rampaging Run, will reach 309 feet above ground and stretch 4, 199 feet across the landscape. Riders can expect a rush to speeds of 87 mil
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe just zipped past the sun for the 28th time, matching its own speed and distance records set earlier this year. The spacecraft hit 430, 000 miles per hour and came within 3. 8 million miles of the sun’s surface—close enough for its heat shield to reach 1, 700 degrees Fahrenh
A new €700 million research vessel backed by a tech entrepreneur is about to change how we explore the ocean’s darkest corners. Unlike the usual flashy superyachts, this ship—RV11000—is built for serious science, not parties. At 162 meters long, it can carry over 130 researchers, engineers, and crew
Illinois just made a big move to level the playing field when it comes to information access. The state struck a deal that lets any resident tap into over fifty digital databases through their local library—all for free. These databases aren’t just random collections; they include e-books, research
A new college is coming to Bentonville, Arkansas, aiming to train over 500 students in science, technology, engineering, and math. Unlike traditional universities, this one won’t charge tuition at first. The Walton family, known for founding Walmart, is behind the project. They’ve picked BIG-Bjarke
