Research commissioned to celebrate this year's Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 also revealed that film and TV have inspired the nation's sporting ambitions
The accused are believed to have been responsible for smuggling millions of shekels' worth of goods into Gaza for Hamas, both while the Gaza war was still ongoing and after the ceasefire began.
The inaugural edition's unusual structure and focus on regional talent has garnered praise—but its reliance on state support raises existential questions
A 21-year-old who poses a “persistent danger to children” has been jailed after contacting profiles of teenage girls and asking to meet up for money.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has announced its mission to scale India's digital economy, revealing that 373 startups have now received critical support through the Startup Accelerator of MeitY for Product Innovation, Development, and Growth (SAMRIDH) programme.
Canada and the United States share the world's longest border. But tensions are rising over trade and politics. US President Donald Trump has threatened Canada with unprecedented tariffs and has expressed a desire to annex the country and turn it into the 51st US state. In the Canadian border town of Cornwall, those tensions can be felt in everyday life. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Guillaume Gougeon.
The 66-year-old actor revealed his tongue cancer battle in December 2025, one year after going public with his lymphoma diagnosis.
The fund says that it gave a $570,000 grant to fulfill the project
Key Points Bolivia possesses 23 million tonnes of lithium—one-fifth of global reserves—yet after 17 years of trying, produces almost nothing while its economy collapses around it President Rodrigo Paz is preparing four transformative laws on investment, hydrocarbons, energy, and mining to open strategic sectors after two decades of state control Massive worker protests against Decree […]
In team competitions like the Davis Cup, where margins are thin and preparation is decisive, altitude can quietly become the tie-breaker.
Heavy flooding has forced more than 50,000 people to evacuate northern Morocco.

China will ban hidden door handles on cars from next year over safety concerns, phasing out the minimalist design popularised by Tesla.
The new rules could prompt carmakers globally to rethink vehicle-door designs as China increasingly positions itself as a standards-setter in the rapidly expanding international EV market, according to analysts.
The rules, announced by the Ministry of I

The development of compact devices that can precisely control light is central to future systems for sensing, communications and computing. Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have now demonstrated an ultra thin metasurface chip that converts invisible infrared light into visible light and sends it out as a narrow beam that can be steered w

In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed a new regenerator material composed solely of abundant elements such as copper, iron and aluminum that can achieve cryogenic temperatures around 4 K (minus 269 degrees Celsius) without using any rare earth metals or liquid helium. The work targets

Mechanical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a proof-of-concept material system that allows solid Lego-like building blocks to be programmed with different mechanical properties and then reset for reuse. The approach uses a metal composite that can reversibly switch between solid and liquid states in selected locations, letting a structure change stiffness and damping without alteri

Metamaterials are engineered composites whose internal architecture, rather than their base substances, governs how they respond to forces and deformation. In these systems, repeating building blocks known as unit cells are arranged in regular patterns, and their size, shape, and connectivity determine properties such as stiffness, strength, and energy absorption. Researchers from the University

Physicists have traditionally divided all elementary particles in three dimensional space into just two categories, bosons and fermions, depending on how systems of identical particles behave when the particles exchange places. In standard quantum theory, experimental observations in three dimensions point to a strict binary: when two identical particles swap positions, the combined quantum stat

Thermoelectric conversion devices offer a promising way to turn waste heat into usable electrical energy, improving the overall efficiency of engines and industrial systems that currently lose between 20 and 50 percent of their input energy as heat. They can also support portable power generation, such as providing electricity to small sensors operating in remote locations where conventional pow
New research from the World Health Organisation’s (WHO’s) global analysis has suggested that 37% of cancer cases worldwide are, to some degree, “preventable”.
