Ticks are tiny but can cause big problems. They spread diseases like Lyme, and knowing when they are most active can help people stay safe. In Denmark, scientists have been studying ticks and how they relate to weather, online searches, and disease reports from 2017 to 2024. They found that weather
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is making headlines, but not for the usual reasons. This time, it's about a leadership shake-up that has people talking about politics and science mixing. It all started when a high-ranking NIH official tried to keep a trusted colleague in a important position
Money for science is tight right now. Schools and labs are feeling the pinch. But this isn't new. Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, NASA faced big budget cuts. President Nixon needed funds for the Vietnam War. So, NASA's budget took a hit. This changed how NASA explored space. NASA had to get
In just seven nights of observation, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory spotted a massive asteroid that's breaking records. This space rock, named 2025 MN45, is about 2, 300 feet wide, making it bigger than most skyscrapers. What's even crazier? It spins super fast, completing a full rotation in just 113
In the heart of Pennsylvania, a massive new hub is taking shape. This isn’t just any warehouse; it’s a state-of-the-art facility designed to handle the tricky world of healthcare logistics. The hub, located in Annville, is set to open later this year. It’s not just big—it’s huge, with over one milli
Siemens AG's CEO, Roland Busch, has his eyes on the prize. He's looking at big moves in artificial intelligence, life sciences, and operations software. Why? Because he sees a future where data is king, especially in the life sciences. Last year, Siemens made a bold move. They spent $5. 1 billion o
A recent study on tungsten oxide films has been pulled back. The research was about how adding molybdenum ions and heating affects the surface and electrical properties of these films. The goal was to see if they could be used in photonic devices. But why was it retracted? The journal Heliyon decid
Tiny robots, smaller than a grain of salt, have been created. These robots can move, sense their surroundings, and make decisions all by themselves. They are powered by light and can work for months without stopping. These tiny robots are the result of a collaboration between researchers at the Uni
People often wonder if they can truly change. The answer is yes, but it’s not a quick or dramatic transformation. Real change happens slowly and subtly. It’s not about becoming a completely different person but about shifting how you interact with others over time. We often describe these changes u
People often wonder how well they can judge their own strength and speed when lifting weights. A recent study dug into this, focusing on the bench press. The goal was to see if people could accurately sense how fast they were lifting different weights. First, the participants went through some prac
