Paul Wilson’s military band career was abruptly ended in 1988 when officers discovered he was gay.
As the Biden administration pushes for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and prepares for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington next week, several factors threaten to undermine Israel’s right-leaning coalition. These include nationalist parties opposing a ceasefire absent the total defeat of Hamas, a recent judicial decision on compulsory military service for the ultra-orthodox, and growing calls from left and centrist parties for early elections. What do these developments portend for Israeli politics... Читать дальше...

Authorities were scouring the ocean off South Africa's east coast Wednesday for 44 containers missing after breaking loose from a French-owned ship in heavy seas last week, the maritime body said.
The ultra-large container ship heading to Le Havre from Asia encountered bad weather in the Indian Ocean near the city of Durban on July 9, the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) said.

The host of this year's UN climate summit on Wednesday urged governments to start compromising to break a deadlock over how to help poorer countries tackle global warming.
This November's COP29 summit in gas-rich Azerbaijan is meant to produce a global agreement on how much rich nations should pay developing countries for climate assistance, but talks have stalled.
While poorer nations a

"With the method we developed, we can make things visible that no one has seen before," says Prof. Sebastian Loth, Managing Director of the Institute for Functional Matter and Quantum Technologies (FMQ) at the University of Stuttgart. "This makes it possible to settle questions about the movement of electrons in solids that have been unanswered since the 1980s." However, the findings of Loth's g

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed innovative, stretchable "jelly batteries" with potential applications in wearable devices, soft robotics, and even brain implants for drug delivery and epilepsy treatment.
Inspired by electric eels, which use modified muscle cells known as electrocytes to generate electric shocks, the Cambridge team created these batteries with a si

A significant challenge for net zero technologies in addressing climate change is bridging the gap between fundamental research and its real-world application. This gap, often termed the "valley of death," is particularly prevalent in carbon capture technologies. These technologies use novel materials to extract carbon dioxide from industrial flue gases, preventing it from entering the atmospher

The element actinium was first discovered at the turn of the 20th century, but even now, nearly 125 years later, researchers still don't have a good grasp on the metal's chemistry. That's because actinium is only available in extremely small amounts and working with the radioactive material requires special facilities. But to improve emerging cancer treatments using actinium, researchers will ne

Astronomers have detected tantalizing evidence of potential dark matter objects using the Universe's natural 'timekeepers'.
Pulsars, neutron stars that emit rotating beams of radio waves, were key in identifying these mysterious hidden masses.
These pulsars, known for their precision in emitting electromagnetic radiation at regular intervals, serve as extremely accurate timekeepers,

South Korean power giant KHNP has won a tender worth billions of dollars to build two nuclear units at a Czech power plant, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on Wednesday.
KHNP (Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Company) beat France's EDF in the tender launched in 2022 initially for one new reactor at the Soviet-built Dukovany power plant.
But Prague said later it was seeking bids for a tot

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building biomass by feeding directly on organic carbon in wide swaths of the ocean. These new findings could lead researchers to reduce their estimate of how much carbon dioxide diatoms pull out of the air via
