Across town, an unspoken rule seems to have taken hold. Bike lanes meant for emergencies now double as parking spots. Drivers sneak into spots marked for fire trucks, assuming no one will notice—or care. It’s not just cars though. Electric scooters, those quiet, zippy devices, have joined the chaos.
The recent indictment of former senior advisor David Mor — who worked closely with famed epidemiologist Anthony Fauci — has sparked debate over whether the case is about protecting government email rules or targeting Fauci. The Department of Justice, citing FBI Director Kash Patel, claims the charge
Batteries work better when their liquid insides let power flow smoothly. A new study looks at how tweaking the shape of tiny charged particles in special liquids can help lithium ions move faster. These liquids, called ionic electrolytes, contain different types of positive ions—some with oxygen ato
Mercyhurst University moved up to Division I sports but still struggles to fill the stands. One big reason? Parking. The rink sits in the middle of campus with just one tiny lot that holds about 50 cars. When big games happen, that lot gets taken over for tailgating. The next option is a lot near th

A fresh citizen science effort invites people worldwide to sift through new images from the Euclid Space Telescope in search of dramatic spacetime distortions. The project, named Space Warps and hosted on the Zooniverse platform, leverages Euclid’s high‑resolution surveys to spot gravitational le
A pair of men in their twenties were sentenced after a month‑long spree that saw them target ATMs across five states. The offenders, both from Texas, used a clever trick: they would sabotage an ATM, then wait for a repair worker to come and open the machine. Once inside, they would intimidate or phy
A lawsuit claims that Cisco Systems helped the Chinese government target Falun Gong followers. The case hinges on two U. S. statutes: the 18th‑century Alien Tort Statute and the 1991 Torture Victim Protection Act. Cisco argues it cannot be held responsible for actions taken abroad. The Supreme Cour
Universal Studios Hollywood opened its gates last week for a special after‑hours event that surprised many visitors. The highlight was a Scooby‑Doo themed mystery set in the historic Little Europe backlot, the very place where the studio’s early monster movies were shot. Guests were invited to uncov
Scientists have figured out exactly which parts of a cobalt‑based material make it good at turning glycerol into useful energy. Instead of guessing, they built three similar crystals that differ only in the tiny details around cobalt atoms. The key discovery was that the reaction happens mainl
