Do Tax Cuts for the Rich Really Benefit Everyone?
For years, we've heard that lowering taxes for the wealthy will boost the economy, create jobs, and eventually benefit all of us. This idea, often called "trickle-down economics," suggests that when the rich have more money, they'll invest it in ways that help everyone. But does this theory hold up in reality?

Great news for new moms: getting vaccinated against COVID-19 may not only protect you — it could also help protect your baby. A recent study from the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that vaccinated women can pass COVID-19 antibodies to their breastfeeding infants.
Yes, you read that right — babies can receive some level of immune protection from their mothers through breast milk.

What the Study Discovered

Here’s some good news for anyone who likes to keep moving: staying physically active as you get older might actually help protect your brain. A recent study from researchers at UC San Francisco found that exercise can change the chemistry of your brain in ways that help keep your thinking skills strong—even if your brain has signs of diseases like Alzheimer’s.

China is already looking beyond 5G. A government-backed lab called Purple Mountain Laboratories has announced a major step forward in the race to develop 6G – the next generation of mobile networks. According to their team, led by Professor You Xiaohu, they’ve achieved wireless transmission speeds of 206.25 gigabits per second in a lab setting. That’s fast. Really fast.

There’s growing concern over a mysterious brain illness in New Brunswick, Canada, and it might be more serious than what we’ve heard so far. Official numbers suggest that fewer than 50 people have been affected, but new reports hint that the real number could be much higher — possibly up to 150 cases since 2013.

What’s going on?

The realm of industrial robotics has witnessed a groundbreaking development in China, where scientists at China Three Gorges University have engineered a factory robot capable of reading the minds of its human co-workers. This innovation, detailed in a peer-reviewed paper published in China Mechanical Engineering, marks a significant leap in the field of collaborative robotics, commonly known as "cobots".

Animals Leave a Trace — Even in the Air

Imagine a camera so small it’s about the size of a grain of salt — and it can still take clear, full-color photos. Sounds like something out of science fiction, right? Well, it's now a reality thanks to a team of researchers from Princeton University and the University of Washington.

The year 2021 marked a significant milestone in the evolution of battery technology, a field that is increasingly becoming the cornerstone of our digital and environmentally conscious society. From powering our smartphones and laptops to driving the revolution in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage, the importance of efficient, reliable, and fast-charging batteries cannot be overstated. This year, we witnessed a series of groundbreaking advancements that promise to reshape our approach to energy storage and management.

Imagine if we could help the body heal itself more effectively by providing a supportive structure that not only holds cells in place but also actively encourages them to grow and function properly. Researchers have developed a new type of scaffold that does just that, and it's all thanks to a bit of molecular movement.
