When Aaliyah Iglesias was caught vaping at a Texas high school, she didn’t realize how much could be taken from her. Suddenly, the rest of her high school experience was threatened: being student council president, her role as debate team captain and walking at graduation. Even her college scholarships were at risk. She was sent to the district’s alternative school for 30 days and told she could have faced criminal charges.

Researchers say a rhinoceros was impregnated through embryo transfer in the first successful use of a method that they say might later make it possible to save the nearly extinct northern white rhino subspecies. The experiment was conducted with the less-endangered southern white rhino subspecies. Researchers created an embryo in a lab from an egg and sperm collected from rhinos and transferred into a southern white rhino surrogate mother at the Ol-Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
 
After months of anticipation, Apple’s Vision Pro will finally be released to the public on February 2. Sales projections for the headset don’t look too rosy, but in truth Apple is playing the long game here. For that reason, it’s not judging success by raw revenue figures—not yet, at least.
The initial success of Apple’s Vision Pro may be judged on how it fares with the developer class, and whether those developers are impressed enough with the hea
For weeks, the U.K. has been gripped by the Post Office Horizon scandal. And now, as the rest of the world begins to pay attention to the odd incident caused by a tech glitch, more people are asking: What the hell is going on?
Here’s a quick guide to this wild, and ongoing, saga.
What went wrong at the Post Office?
Between 1999 and 2015, glitches in accounting software used by the U.K. Post Office meant that large amounts of money appear

When a woman from Nicaragua got off a federally contracted bus at the San Diego trolley station next to the border on a recent December night, she felt a mix of joy and confusion.
Joy because she was finally taking her first steps of freedom after months locked in immigration custody. Confusion because she didn’t know how
Picture this: You walk into the airport with your smartphone and seamlessly board your flight without the hassle of removing shoes or juggling passports. Everything you need—your digital ID, boarding pass, and bag tags—is right there in your phone, making the entire trip hassle-free.
This isn’t a futuristic dream; it’s happening now. These technologies are currently being tested and implemented at airports across North America and the world. With 32.4 mil
The way Jeetu Patel sees it, working from your car may soon be as ordinary as signing on to Google Docs from your home office.
“I think the future of work is largely going to be hybrid, where people will work in a kind of mixed mode—sometimes they’re in the office, sometimes they’re going to be at home, sometimes somewhere in the middle,” says Patel, executive vice president and general manager of security and collaboration at Cisco. “And th
Just after the stock market closed on January 9, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission posted on X (née Twitter) that it had approved exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, that included the cryptocurrency bitcoin.

You’d be forgiven for giving up on new rockets after years of hype for small launch companies have ended in bankruptcies and anomalous debuts. But, if you can hold out hope a little longer, 2024 actually could be the year.
The months ahead could see the debut of as many as 15 new vehicles, which could change the fundamentals of space business and potentially drive competition in an industry largely ruled by a monopoly.
