People are talking about 3I/ATLAS, a space rock from another star system. Some think it might have ice volcanoes. But scientists say, not so fast. A recent study suggests that 3I/ATLAS might act like an ice volcano, but it's not the same thing. 3I/ATLAS is small, about the size of Manhattan. It's n
Recent changes have been made to immigration policies. The U. S. government has decided to put a hold on many immigration processes for people from 19 specific countries. These countries are seen as high-risk. The decision includes a wide range of processes, like green card applications and naturali
Neutrinos are tiny particles that barely interact with anything. They are everywhere, but we know very little about them. Scientists have long thought there might be more types of neutrinos than the three we know. But recent experiments have left them scratching their heads. Two new studies, publis
South Carolina's coast is changing fast. Islands are disappearing. Roads and homes are underwater more often. This is not news to people who live there. Yet, the rules that protect these places are stuck in the past. They do not consider rising sea levels or the unique importance of areas like Cape
Imagine a world where robots handle the boring tasks in space. That is what Ethan Barajas and Jamie Palmer are aiming for. Their company, Icarus Robotics, is creating robots to take over routine jobs on the International Space Station. This way, astronauts can focus on important research. The space
In the early hours of November 25, atop Hawaii's Maunakea volcano, scientists eagerly watched as the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS made its way out of our solar system. This comet, a small, blurry speck among countless stars, was more than just a celestial object—it was a time capsule, older than our
A comet named 3I/ATLAS is on a long trip through our solar system. It's not from around here. It came from another star system. This is only the third time scientists have seen something like this. Some people wonder if it could be from aliens. An astronomer named John Tonry works with a system tha
People often struggle to remember all the U. S. presidents, and a recent incident with Vice President JD Vance highlights this issue. Vance could only name two of Ohio's eight presidents when asked. This isn't just about Vance's memory; it's a common problem for many Americans. Research shows that
Old Dominion University is getting a major upgrade in health education. A generous gift of $15 million from Joan Brock is making this happen. This money will create the Joan P. Brock Institute for Nutrition Science and Health. The goal? To make nutrition a big part of medical training and research.
Ever wondered how cycling and visual tasks affect your brain? A small study tried to find out. They looked at how cycling on a stationary bike and a visual task, like searching for items, impact brain function. Twenty-seven young adults took part. They did four sessions. First, they checked their f
