Is epoxy resin safe? The handmade resin boom has brought industrial polymer chemistry into home workshops. We look at resin jewelry, coasters, tumblers, serving boards and the health risks of uncured epoxy.

PETA is offering $10,000 for reporting mislabelled meat.

Gluten-free ptitim orez is also made by Eshbal Functional Food's Barili Free Living line of gluten-free products.

Russia is reviving the controversial abiotic oil theory with plans to drill superdeep holes in the Arctic. While small amounts of abiotic methane exist deep within the Earth, most geologists reject the idea that commercial oil reserves originate from non-biological processes, raising questions about the environmental cost and scientific value of the project.

A fresh oil spill in the Tigris River, filmed by an Iraqi university student, has reignited concern over Iraq's polluted waterways. From ancient Mesopotamia to modern Basra, the country's dependence on oil has come at a steep environmental and human cost, with activists warning that unchecked contamination is putting ecosystems and public health at risk.

As AI factories consume unprecedented amounts of electricity, NVIDIA is looking beyond chips and data centers to the ocean. The company recently spotlighted Israel's Eco Wave Power and its wave energy projects in Jaffa and Los Angeles, highlighting how AI, digital twins and renewable energy can work together to meet future power demands. The collaboration reflects a growing realization that the future of artificial intelligence may depend as much on clean energy infrastructure as it does on computing power.

The Energy Tower idea never made the leap from drawings and engineering studies to full-scale construction. But nearly two decades after most people stopped talking about it, the concept is quietly evolving in two unexpected places: China and Iran. The concept let dreamers dream and doers do - figuring out more pleasing designs and engineering.

Soul-satisfying makluba, an Arabic dish with our vegan twist.

The favored meat in the Middle East  is lamb  and it's most often prepared in some variation of meatballs, like the popular kibbeh. Now try these savory meatballs in a rich tomato sauce enriched with vegetables and spices. Just delicious.

Artificial intelligence is opening a new chapter in Dead Sea Scrolls research. By combining machine learning with chemical analysis, scientists hope to uncover where the ancient manuscripts were produced, identify connections between scribes, and reveal hidden patterns across more than 25,000 fragments that have remained unsolved for decades.

Can data centers really be built in space? Pasadena-based Sophia Space is partnering with Apex to test the idea by launching modular AI computing systems into low Earth orbit in 2027. Using radiation-hardened compute TILEs cooled by passive radiative systems and mounted on scalable satellite buses, the companies aim to prove that edge computing can operate reliably in space. While challenges remain, the project represents an important step toward distributed orbital computing networks that could support everything from climate monitoring and pollution tracking to autonomous spacecraft navigation in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.

A SpaceX IPO could become one of the most consequential financial events of the century, creating thousands of millionaires and fueling investment across the New Space economy. From orbital robotics and African space programs to launch infrastructure and satellite networks, the ripple effects may extend far beyond Earth—while forcing investors to reconsider whether generative AI remains the most compelling technology bet of the decade.

In California's self-proclaimed State of Jefferson, a small agricultural technology company is challenging the dominant laser-weeding business model. Laudando & Associates believes farmers should own and repair their AI-powered weeding tools rather than pay ongoing subscription fees. The approach has put the company on a collision course with industry leader Carbon Robotics, sparking a patent dispute that has pushed the Jefferson startup toward overseas markets while raising broader questions about ownership, right-to-repair, and the future of farm automation.

Jewish Vegan Life has launched a global campaign celebrating the New Year for Animals, with synchronized events in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Montreal and Jerusalem, alongside an international livestream on August 9 featuring partners including Mercy for Animals, The Good Food Institute and Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary.

Imagine developing a severe allergy to steak after a single tick bite. That's the reality for people with alpha-gal syndrome, a rapidly emerging condition linked to lone star ticks and other tick species. As researchers uncover how tick saliva rewires the immune system, health officials warn that hundreds of thousands of Americans may already be living with this unusual red meat allergy.

Millions of visitors swim in the pristine waters of the Galápagos each year, but new research suggests sunscreen chemicals and other human-made pollutants are reaching even the islands' most protected marine habitats. Scientists are calling for urgent monitoring to safeguard one of Earth's most iconic ecosystems.
