Imagine a clean energy source that fits in a shipping container, powers a small town, and doesn’t need refueling for years. That’s exactly what a team of former SpaceX engineers is building—and it might just change how we use nuclear power on Earth.

Their startup, Radiant, is working on a portable nuclear microreactor. It’s lightweight, affordable, and designed to deliver power even in the most remote corners of the planet. This kind of energy tech was originally imagined for future Mars missions, but now it’s being adapted for real-world use right here on Earth.

A major long-term study out of Toronto is shedding new light on gender dysphoria in children—specifically boys. Researchers followed 139 boys who were referred to a clinic for gender identity concerns, and the results might surprise you.

Flushing a toilet doesn’t just send water swirling down the drain. It can also create tiny droplets in the air—some of which could carry bacteria. A recent study looked at the real-time monitoring of these airborne particles, particularly those produced by flushing toilets in shared office bathrooms. The findings were quite eye-opening, showing that while toilet lids can help reduce these particles, they don’t completely eliminate the risk of spreading germs.

But according to neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, author of Grain Brain, what many of us consider "healthy" could actually be setting the stage for long-term brain problems like Alzheimer’s, ADHD, and chronic headaches.
