Imagine a harsh winter's night in 2021, where heavy snowstorms batter the United States.

Throughout history, authoritarian leaders have used similar tactics to undermine democracy. Recently, concerns have been raised about potential policies that mirror these authoritarian actions. However, the United States has a strong tradition of protecting human rights and democratic institutions.
Human trafficking is a big problem everywhere, including Africa. Every year, millions of people face serious health issues and social challenges because of it. The problem is, we don't know enough about what causes people to be trafficked within their own countries. This makes it hard for groups fig
Scientists recently discovered something peculiar about a new selenolato-bridged manganese(I) compound. This compound, designed to carry carbon monoxide (CORM), was found to have a dark side. It turns out, this compound can be quite toxic to certain cells. Researchers delved into how this compound i
Picture this: Germany is suddenly dealing with a serious security crisis, either on home soil or far away. Hospitals must be ready to handle emergencies like violence, terrorism, or even war. Doctors could face a surge of injured patients needing surgery. Standard medical training won’t be enough. T
