In Colombia’s presidential race, two very different candidates made it to the next round. Abelardo de la Espriella, a lawyer with a tough-guy nickname ("The Tiger"), won over 43% of the vote by promising a crime-fighting approach inspired by Donald Trump’s policies. His opponent, Iván Cepeda, is kno
Industrial factories today rely on smart gadgets connected to the internet. These devices help machines work together and make quick decisions. But this also means hackers have more ways to trick the system. They can pretend to be a trusted device or sneak into conversations between machines. Normal
A recent poultry experiment found that what goes into chicken feed can dramatically change how well birds grow and stay healthy. Researchers tested different mixes of calcium, phosphorus, and electrolyte levels in broilers—chickens raised for meat—to see which combinations worked best. They raised 3
Over the past ten years, medical science has made huge strides in keeping kids healthy worldwide. Simple steps like safe sleep positions, vaccines, and car seats have saved countless young lives. But what’s next for children’s health? Experts are now pointing to 10 key research areas that could brin
A new experimental drug from Novartis is making waves in the fight against prostate cancer. Early trial results show it shrinks tumors in patients, even those who stopped responding to the company's existing treatment, Pluvicto. The drug uses a different radioactive element called actinium-225, whic
New Jersey is taking extra steps to control protests near a large immigrant detention facility in Newark. While visits for detainees resumed Sunday, the area around Delaney Hall is now off-limits to protesters after recent clashes between activists and federal agents. State police have expanded thei
More young women are choosing to freeze their eggs each year, hoping to extend their options for having children later. The process involves removing eggs from the ovaries, storing them in liquid nitrogen, and later thawing them for potential use. Clinics show how tiny tools pick out eggs under a mi
Growing up in a big city means dealing with noise, crowds, and—less obviously—tiny bits of metals like lead and cadmium that sneak into the air and food. These substances aren’t always obvious, but they might be quietly changing the trillions of bacteria living in children’s guts. A recent study fol
Glioblastoma is the toughest brain cancer to treat. It spreads fast and resists most therapies. Scientists now think tiny calcium channels inside cells could be part of the problem. These channels, called Cav3, act like tiny gates that let calcium enter. When calcium floods in, it can speed up cell
At a security conference in Singapore, U. S. defense leaders turned up the heat on Europe, saying it’s falling behind in military spending. While Asian partners are stepping up, Western Europe is still relying heavily on American support. The U. S. isn’t hiding its frustration, hinting that Europe n
