Ann Arbor just paved two residential streets using asphalt mixed with recycled tire rubber—a small but meaningful test of a technology that’s been around for decades. Workers spread the dark, rubber-speckled pavement on Northbrook Place and Oakbrook Drive, turning about 2, 000 scrap tires into road
Helping people regain their ability to walk after an injury isn’t easy. Traditional rehabilitation can be slow, and some patients struggle to regain full movement. A new kind of robotic suit might change that. This lightweight exoskeleton helps patients relearn how to walk by gently guiding their le

The camp, built on a military base, holds over 2, 700 detainees under President Trump’s deportation policy. Civil rights groups claim it fails basic standards, poin
Remember that old phone gathering dust in your drawer? It might end up doing more than just taking photos. Scientists have found a clever way to give these devices a second life as environmental guardians. Instead of tossing them, researchers turn them into eco-friendly sensors that track how trees
Spring in Maryland usually means fresh crops and busy farms, but this year the season brought trouble instead. A sudden cold snap in late April froze much of the state’s grapevines, wiping out over 70% of the harvest at one winery. That single event could cost Maryland winemakers millions, with expe
