A group of about thirty boats is preparing to leave Barcelona on Sunday, carrying medical supplies and other help for people in Gaza. The plan is part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which hopes to open a path through Israel’s blockade. Last year the same organization sent around forty ships, but Isra
Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who had ruled Hungary for 16 years, lost his seat after a surprise victory by the pro‑European Union party led by Peter Magyar. The result came as many Hungarians voted in record numbers for change, preferring a centre‑right group that supports EU membership. Orban ha
Hungary’s Sunday vote isn’t just about who runs the country—it’s a test for Europe’s direction.

A scientist named Gail Martin made big changes in biology. She studied how cells grow and change, especially the early stages of life. Her work helped scientists learn more about stem cells, which can become many different types of body cells. Gail taught at a university in California for many year
Scientists once saw mitochondria—the powerhouses inside our cells—as fixed residents with one job: producing energy. Now they know these tiny structures are more like delivery trucks zipping between cells, dropping off supplies or picking up garbage. This movement happens with help from three main h
Cholera germs have a smart trick to protect themselves. They carry a built-in gene storage system that holds hundreds of spare parts, mostly unused. A small portion of these genes help fight off viruses. Normally, stressed bacteria shuffle these genes around to pick the best ones. But cholera germs
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
During the third day of Tanner Horner’s trial, jurors heard some disturbing details about how a nine-year-old girl’s remains were found.
