Scientists worldwide will gain access to China's most advanced research facilities in 2026, including the world's largest radio telescope. The move signals a major step toward breaking down barriers in international scientific cooperation.
Leigh Ryswyk has become the first openly gay AFL player in the league's history, sharing his truth after being out privately for five years. His announcement on a Melbourne radio station marks a milestone moment for representation in Australian football.
A century after radio first connected distant communities, a small Berkshires station is proving how modern technology lets local voices reach the world. WGSL is pioneering something bigger than broadcasting.
A researcher ate an apple grown in Chernobyl's radioactive zone and lived to tell scientists something hopeful. Her data shows nature can filter decades of radiation to produce safe food.
Beloved New York Mets radio voice Howie Rose announced he's retiring at the end of the 2026 season after nearly four decades behind the microphone. The 72-year-old broadcaster says his wife deserves more time together, but his bond with fans makes saying goodbye nearly impossible.
A 6-year-old boy who nearly died from bleeding episodes 25 times in three years is thriving after a UCLA surgeon performed a groundbreaking procedure through a tiny skin puncture instead of major surgery. The two-hour minimally invasive technique could replace risky open surgeries for countless children worldwide.
Portuguese researchers have developed tiny carbon capsules that could revolutionize cancer treatment by making radiotherapy more precise and less harmful to healthy tissue. The breakthrough uses a new element to target cancer cells with pinpoint accuracy.
An 11-year-old who fled Partition with nothing became the "TV Man of India," bringing affordable radios and televisions to millions of families. Raja Singh's Texla TVs once held 95% market share in Punjab, lighting up living rooms across the nation.
Ochsner MD Anderson Cancer Center in New Orleans is bringing biology-guided radiotherapy to the South, becoming only the eighth facility worldwide to offer this precision cancer treatment. The technology uses cancer cells' own signals to guide radiation in real-time, potentially reducing side effects while treating tumors that are in motion.
A breakthrough AI system that helps doctors read chest X-rays just earned special FDA designation, potentially solving a critical shortage in radiology. Early results show it could boost detection rates by up to 65% for certain conditions.
New research suggests space weather might be scrambling alien radio signals before they reach us, offering hope that extraterrestrial civilizations could be out there trying to communicate. Scientists at the SETI Institute discovered how stellar activity disrupts transmissions, and they're already working on ways to detect these hidden messages.
Scientists at the SETI Institute discovered that cosmic storms might be scrambling radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations, making them impossible for us to detect. The finding offers a hopeful new explanation for why we haven't heard from alien life yet.
Michael Rowse spent nearly two decades building a community radio station from the ground up—all as a volunteer. His daily dedication transformed Howick Village Radio into East FM, connecting neighbors and launching careers along the way.
Malaysia just gave an Australian mining company a decade to prove it can produce critical minerals without leaving behind radioactive waste. The bold move could reshape how the world sources rare earth minerals outside of China.
Two Longview firefighters climbed more than 900 feet up a radio tower to rescue hot air balloon riders after their balloon crashed into the structure. Despite facing fears and unprecedented heights, the team safely brought both people down after a four-hour operation.
What if we could finally measure hip-hop's real impact beyond the controversy? Economist Roland Fryer analyzed four decades of radio data and rap lyrics to answer one of culture's most heated debates with hard science.
Two exhausted scientists working around the clock in Berkeley stumbled upon carbon-14, a radioactive isotope that would revolutionize how we understand human history. Their breakthrough eventually gave archaeologists the power to date ancient artifacts up to 50,000 years old.
A massive snake-like robot is giving engineers their best shot yet at safely removing radioactive debris from the Fukushima nuclear plant 15 years after the devastating 2011 tsunami. The 22-meter device can navigate tight spaces where humans can't go, bringing hope to one of history's toughest cleanup projects.
Scientists using the world's largest radio telescope have captured the most detailed image ever of the chaotic, star-forming center of our galaxy. The breakthrough reveals how stars are born in extreme conditions similar to the early universe.
