WASHINGTON DC - Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins have expressed interest in letting bird flu outbreaks spread unchecked through U.S. poultry farms. Health experts warn it could lead to a new pandemic. High-ranking federal officials have suggested that bird flu virus should be left to
CADIZ, Spain - An archaeologist named Michael Donnellan announced a discovery that he believes could be the legendary lost city of Atlantis. Donnellan asserted that he found submerged structures off the coast of Cádiz, Spain, which correspond closely with the descriptions given by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. At a recent conference titled the Cosmic
BEIJING - Geologists have discovered a giant gold deposit with estimated reserves of 1,000 tons and a value exceeding $80 billion. And it’s clear this is a turning point in the geopolitics of precious metals, as it could be one of the largest gold deposits in the world (or at least among the discovered ones).
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Greenland's second-largest ice shelf, the Petermann, is melting faster than expected — and not for the reason scientists initially thought. What's happening? A new study published in Nature Communications revealed that warm ocean water isn't the only factor speeding up ice loss, as summarized in a Stockholm University report. Based on models supported by
WASHINGTON DC - NASA is at the forefront of exploring the universe, and even they can make some mistakes that can cause disasters and destroy untouched planets. Every space trip has to go through a comprehensive evaluation of the plan, the structure, the possible scenarios, and the cleaning of the spaceship to not cause any harm
BEIJING - China-based Contemporary Amperex Technologies, or CATL, is mass-producing sodium-ion batteries, bringing to fruition a technology that has the potential to replace common lithium-ion chemistry, according to a news release from the company. "With sodium's inherent safety and abundant reserves, it efficiently reduces dependence on lithium resources and strengthens the foundation of new energy technologies, while promoting

VIENNNA, Austria - While the world keeps fighting to see who will be crowned as the leader in green energy, Austria, quietly, has positioned itself as a pioneer in this sector. The reason? They’ve invented a way to “plant” used batteries as if they were seeds. This discovery from the Technical University of Vienna may sound like
NEW YORK - Recent breakthroughs suggest that hydrogen reservoirs are buried in countless regions of the world, including at least 30 U.S. states. Finding such reservoirs could help accelerate a global energy transition, but until now, geologists only had a piecemeal understanding of how large hydrogen accumulations form — and where to find them. "The game of
