Last year, crypto hit a major milestone when the U. S. passed its first major crypto-focused law. But the journey hasn’t been smooth. Bitcoin’s price rocketed past $120, 000 after some big election wins, but now things feel stuck. Congress is still arguing over tiny details in market rules, while re
Two founders. One $460 million crypto pot. Zero trust between them. Erik Zhang keeps most of NEO’s tokens in his personal wallets. No extra signatures, no shared control, just his key. Da Hongfei runs the other half through his foundation, NGD, with cash, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Together they hold d
A new study reveals something surprising about newborns. Scientists tested stool samples from 105 babies in their first three days of life. They found genes that help bacteria survive antibiotics. This means some babies already have bacteria in their guts that can resist common medicines. Previousl
Iowa once had twice as much forest as it does today. Back in 1906, lawmakers created the Forest Reserve Program to stop landowners from clearing poor soil land. The idea was simple: leave trees standing to prevent erosion, protect clean water, and support wildlife. Instead of paying taxes on low-val
America spends over $5 trillion on health care every year, making it the biggest industry in the country. What many don’t realize is that rising costs aren’t just about expensive treatments or hospital bills. The real driver is how often people use the system. More doctor visits, prescriptions, and
Those lines around your ankles after a long day aren’t just random dents. They often pop up when you’ve been sitting too long or running around nonstop, especially if your job keeps you on your feet.

Miri Ahuja, a 14-year-old from San Jose, wasn’t just worried about homework or weekend plans like most kids her age. Instead, she took on a challenge many adults shy away from: ensuring people in her community could easily access period products. Through her project, Period Positive Drive, she organ
Many military medics train through partnerships with civilian hospitals and clinics. These programs started to keep combat medicine skills sharp during quieter times. But now, they do more than just help surgeons stay ready. They also train medics who aren’t doctors—like Army combat medics or Navy c
Scientists often rely on energy calculations to understand how molecules behave in living cells. These calculations help explain how drugs bind to proteins, which is key to designing better medicines. But there's a catch: accurate calculations for large molecules like proteins are tough to do with r
Traffic lights used to be simple. Back in the 1860s they were just mechanical arms that changed manually. By the 1910s they became electric, and by the 1920s they turned red, yellow, and green. Today there are about 300, 000 of them in the U. S. alone. Their main job is safety—keeping cars, bikes, a
