A major research center in Florida took a serious hit when a fire broke out during a storm. The building, known for its work in marine science, was heavily damaged. Luckily, no one was hurt, and nearby areas weren’t put at risk. Experts are now trying to figure out what sparked the blaze. Firefight
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
Many people now pick plans that cost less each month but require them to pay most of their medical bills first. These “high‑deductible” options let patients save money in special tax‑free accounts, but the savings come at a price: when an illness or injury happens, patients face huge out‑of‑pocket c
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. Colorado, meanwhile, looks ready to test a tough Minnesota Wild lineup that is
Breanna Stewart, a standout from Central New York, has become a key figure in reshaping how women’s basketball is compensated. She helped negotiate a landmark deal that will funnel over $1 billion into player salaries and benefits through 2032. This agreement introduces the first full revenue‑
Scientists tested whether two common sleep‑aid drugs, diphenhydramine and cyclizine, could be found in hair after only one dose. The drugs are often sold without a prescription and can make people very sleepy, which is why they might be used in crimes that involve drug‑facilitated attacks. The
Ontologies help scientists keep medical facts tidy, letting computers find patterns and answer questions. In the world of vaccines, this organization is even more vital because vaccine data touch many different areas—biology, policy, and public health. A clear Vaccine Ontology lets researchers mix d
A recent study from universities in California, Tennessee and Massachusetts shows that the way people speak to AI chatbots matters. Researchers tested several popular models, such as GPT‑5. 4 and Gemini 3. 1 Pro. They found that polite requests, like “please” or “thank you, ” make the bots giv
Researchers followed adults from 2011 to 2020 to see if how long someone has arthritis matters for breaking a hip. Hip fractures hurt life and can be fatal, especially in older people. Arthritis is common and may weaken bones or make walking harder. The study looked at middle‑aged and older Chinese
