The Los Altos History Museum turned apricots into a gateway for curious minds on June 28 with its STEM fair.

Two years ago, NVIDIA wasn’t just a gaming company—it was a sleeping giant. Today, it’s the most valuable business ever, and early investors are counting their lucky stars. A $10, 000 bet in early 2023 would now be worth over $130, 000. The secret? They spotted a bottleneck before anyone else did.
For decades, scientists have focused on a sticky protein called amyloid-beta as a key suspect in Alzheimer's disease. This protein forms clumps in the brain that many believe trigger the memory loss and thinking problems seen in patients. Drug companies have spent billions developing treatments that
Every summer, gardens across Alaska burst with color and life. Many gardeners focus on the bright blooms and sweet scents, but some overlook the tiny visitors that make it all possible. Among them are yellowjackets—often misunderstood wasps that many swat away without thinking. Yet these insects do
College athletes are finally getting a shot at sharing in the billions their talents generate—but the rules around it are still messy. A bipartisan bill in Congress aims to clean things up, setting limits on agent fees, forcing schools to reveal who’s cutting NIL deals, and even pausing transfers fo
