The U. S. is getting ready for its 250th birthday, and that’s bringing up tough questions. Who really built this country? Who will shape the next century? The conversations usually focus on famous figures from the past, but today’s business leaders matter just as much. For 25 years, an award has bee
When Joe Burrow showed up at the Kentucky Derby earlier this month, the internet had a lot to say about his outfit. Instead of flashy suits or bold accessories, he went with a light pink suit, a grey tee, and a maroon fedora. His look was simple compared to the eye-catching outfits usually seen at t
Scientists have found a clever way to make hydrogen fuel more efficiently by mixing two metals in a smart way. They combined tiny bits of palladium (a rare metal) with molybdenum dioxide (a cheaper, more common material) to create a powerful combo for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. The tr
Detecting ammonia isn’t just about avoiding bad smells—it’s about safety. This gas can harm workers in factories, pollute the environment, and linger in poorly ventilated spaces. Traditional sensors often struggle because they either pick up ammonia too slowly or take too long to reset. A new approa
The cruise ship that once promised adventure now faces a frightening health crisis. A virus called hantavirus is believed to be the culprit behind three deaths and several illnesses on board. Hantaviruses have a long history, with records of outbreaks in Asia and Europe that caused severe fever a
The Hurricanes and Avalanche have both finished their first‑round battles with clean sweeps. Carolina keeps a streak alive, winning its fifth straight game by beating the Flyers in the opener of their second‑round series.

The capital of Armenia, Yerevan, became a meeting point for leaders from Europe and Canada on Monday. They gathered to talk about security in a world that feels more uncertain than ever. The talks were held while the United States was led by President Donald Trump, who had a strong influence on inte
A team of researchers set out to make a new kind of building material that is both stronger and kinder to the planet. They mixed two very small powders – nano‑silica (NS) and nano‑alumina (NA) – with a type of fiber made from plastic, called polypropylene fiber (PPF). The base of the mix was a combi
Meta has just bought a startup that builds AI for robots, signaling the company’s ambition to create humanoid machines. The acquisition gives Meta a team that is already working on models enabling robots to read human actions and react in real‑time, a key step toward everyday robot helpers. Th
When temperatures rise, insects face serious challenges in growing and breeding. A group of small proteins called heat shock proteins helps them survive the heat, yet scientists still don’t know exactly how they protect reproduction. A recent study focused on one of these proteins, named SfHSP19.
