Nostalgia is a major barrier to preventing more people from adopting plant-based diets, according to a new University of Stirling study. Research led by Aga Kosla of the University's Faculty of Natural Sciences found that links to childhood, cultural identity and a sense of home can make dietary changes feel like a loss of self or tradition for many people.

These are the countries moving to ban social media for children

‘Summer Tour’ Review: A Documentary About Deadheads That’s as Blissed-Out and Navel-Gazing as Its Subjects

If you wanted to come up with a cynical definition of the ’60s, you could call it five years of middle-class kids slumming. Obviously, there was more to the counter- culture than that. But that was a big part of it — and the middle-classness of it all, the fact that so many kids “dropped out” because they could afford to drop out, should not be forgotten. (The revolution was about protest, but it was also about selling designer psychedelic candles.)

Hegseth Says Trump Should Be Praised for Starting Iran War

Company Man

The Pentagon chief was on Capitol Hill asking for a whopping $1.5 trillion in funding

President Donald Trump has weathered fierce criticism over the past five months after beginning a devastating, never-ending war in Iran. But throughout it all, there’s been one brave man firmly in his corner: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who on Tuesday told senators they’d been thinking about this forever war situation all wrong. Instead of criticism, we should be praising Trump for dragging us into war. 

Why Shane Gillis Will Remain a Victor in the Comedy Guinness World Records Arms Race

It may be pretty well known, especially in the Philadelphia area, that hotshot comic and podcaster Shane Gillis became a Guinness World Records holder twice over on July 17, when his Lincoln Financial Field show pulled in 73,946 attendees and sold 77,047 tickets. This earned him two titles.

US funding cuts deal blow to global HIV treatment: Report

UNAIDS chief calls for ‘radical change’ as US-led aid cuts gut HIV clinics and treatment worldwide.

Senate committee advances nomination of Trump intelligence pick Jay Clayton

The Senate intelligence committee on Tuesday advanced the nomination of Jay Clayton to serve as the US intelligence director, despite criticism from Democrats.

Donald Trump had nominated Clayton, now the top federal prosecutor in the southern district of New York, for the role of the director of national intelligence (DNI) last month after the departure of Tulsi Gabbard.

Two-color lasers aim electron currents through semiconductor with no electric field

'Electron lighthouse' illuminates new physics
When two pulses of different colored lasers (the two waves at the top of the image) meet in a new device created at the University of Michigan, researchers create a beam of electrons (small golden particles) that flows in a controllable direction. By changing the laser colors, the electron beam can sweep through different directions like the beam of a lighthouse. Credit: Yiming Gong

Researchers at the University of Michigan have created a device that enables them to control the flow of electrons through a semiconductor using only laser light—no electrical power source required. The device was built to explore fundamental physics and realize a previously unobserved behavior, but it could also open doors for new applications in areas that bridge optics and electronics, including sensing, imaging and telecommunications.
