The official start of the 2026 tropical storm and hurricane season is fast approaching, with scientists forecasting a quieter year overall. NOAA’s latest models suggest about a 35 % chance that the season will be near normal, while only a 10 % probability exists for more named storms than usual. A d
Symbiodinium microadriaticum, a tiny dinoflagellate that lives inside coral tissues, can release electrons into its surroundings during photosynthesis. This process, known as extracellular electron transfer (EET), lets the algae send electrical signals to nearby cells. Researchers discovered that th
The weekend’s steady showers pushed back two Reds games and changed the schedule for the Taste of Cincinnati festival. The National Weather Service in Wilmington now predicts a clear break on Monday, May 25, before the wet spell returns later in the week. Fog will blanket the city early, but it sh
Researchers have built a computer model that shows how light, heat and chemical reactions work together when treating cancer with a dye called indocyanine green (ICG). The model uses a fast Monte‑Carlo method on graphics cards to trace how 808‑nanometer laser light moves through a three‑dimension
On May 25th the world turns a page for many famous faces. The first name that pops up is Sir Ian McKellen, who reaches 87 years of age. His voice has guided audiences in shows like “Ted, ” and his long career keeps fans talking. Not far behind is director Frank Oz, who turns 82. He once le
AOT is a small, non‑cancerous growth that forms in the jaw. It looks like tiny tubes or circles under a microscope and usually stays inside its capsule, so it rarely invades nearby tissues. Because AOT grows very slowly, many people do not notice it until it becomes large enough to cause a visibl
The Gulfstream IV is a classic private jet that has long been favored by many well‑known figures. It can fly up to Mach 0. 80 and cover about 4, 150 nautical miles, thanks to its powerful Rolls‑Royce engines. Though the model was first produced in the 1980s and is no longer built, it still attracts
Researchers are looking at tiny blood cells to learn more about a common mouth problem called recurrent aphthous stomatitis, or RAS. RAS shows up as painful sores inside the mouth that come and go over time. Two blood measures, the platelet‑to‑lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV),
Some people who later became famous did not start their careers on screen. Instead, they first served in the U. S. Armed Forces and later turned to acting or art. Adam Driver, best known for his roles in “Marriage Story” and the Star Wars films, joined the Marines after 9/11. He spent almost thr
Huawei has shown a fresh way to make its chips faster and cheaper. The company uses a design called “LogicFolding” that lets more transistors fit on the same chip and makes them run quicker. The new approach can add 53% more transistors and lift clock speeds by about 13%. Because Huawei cannot us
