But June 17, 2015, was special. That night, her friend Myra Thompson was leading the study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and convinced her to go. A stranger joined the group that night. And as members closed their eyes in prayer, the man pulled out a gun and unleashed 70 bullets inside the historically black church.

Primates are unquestionably clever: Monkeys can learn how to use money, and chimpanzees have a knack for game theory. But no one has ever taught a nonhuman primate to say "hello." Scientists have long been intrigued by the failure of primates to talk like us.

i found this article interesting because it is mind boggling to think that there could be a world in which humans are not the only animal speaking. Also, I learned that monkeys have a vocal track in which language could potentially come through but it would be very limiting.

The notorious Stanford band will be suspended through next spring after administrators found "a systemic cultural problem" in the student group that has "not been taken seriously by the band or its leadership." The punishment requires the stopping of all band activities, both on and off campus....

It was hard to keep the characters in "Mad Max: Fury Road" and the cosmonauts in the 2017 movie "Life" safe. The first group of characters were in a post-apocalyptic hell, the second colonizing a space station, and all of them needed all-in-one, all-weather, all-sustaining garments.

I found this article interesting because when read it made me think about how society continuously makes assumptions what will happen in the future. But reality many of these technological advancements movies and books may never come or won't for a long time.

When a robotic probe finally lands on a watery world like Jupiter's moon Europa, what do scientists have to see to definitively say whether the place has any life? That's the question retired astronaut John Grunsfeld posed to some colleagues at NASA when he was in charge of the agency's science missions.

It's official. Chemistry's highest gatekeepers have accepted the newly proposed names for elements 113, 115, 117 and 118. Please welcome to the periodic table: Nihonium, Moscovium, Tennessine and Oganesson. Scientists first synthesized the new elements between 2002 and 2010, but it wasn't until December of 2015 that the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry officially recognized the discoveries.

The widening spread between lower-yielding German bonds and those issued by debt-saturated European countries amounts to a flashing indicator that investors see risks for the southern periphery.

Two agents from U.S. Homeland Security's ICE unit arrived at my door in September looking for a Polish lady - not a person, but a painting: Melchior Geldorp's "Portrait of a Lady." She had, they informed me, been looted by the Nazis from the National Museum in Warsaw.

Researchers have designed a system that lets a patient with late-stage Lou Gehrig's disease type words using brain signals alone. The patient, Hanneke De Bruijne, a doctor of internal medicine from the Netherlands, received a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as A.L.S. or Lou Gehrig's disease, in 2008.
