More than 8,900 people aged under 30 were arrested for money laundering offenses in England and Wales between 2020 and 2025. That's more than six in 10 of all money laundering arrests recorded during the period.
Imagine you're in the movie theater watching 2018's "Hereditary." During one of the film's most unsettling sequences, the main character, Peter, wakes up in bed disoriented. As he sits up, you hear a couple of gasps from others in the audience. The camera stays locked on Peter as he moves through his house and enters the dim living room.
Ecological grief is growing—and our current approach to climate change education isn't keeping pace.
Scientists discovered a rock in Papua New Guinea that plunged more than 90 kilometers beneath Earth's surface, revealing a bizarre temperature pattern that challenges established theories of Earth's interior. The unexpected shift from unusually hot to relatively cold conditions could transform our understanding of tectonic plate movements, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Physical education has traditionally been one of the most eagerly awaited classes of the school day, since it lets students get out of the classroom, move around and interact with their classmates in a different way—conditions that are conducive to learning values such as camaraderie and cooperation. However, the physical exposure and the dynamics of interaction, comparison and competition that the class can entail still make some students uneasy, and, in settings where bullying occurs, turn it into a potentially unsafe space.
A majority of Americans blame billionaires for the nation's ever-growing income and wealth divide. But economists Eric Zwick and Owen Zidar say there's a much larger but little-known cadre of very rich folks who may be even more important in closing the gap.
An insect-driven disease that causes high mortality in white-tailed deer and mimics the symptoms of foot-and-mouth disease in cattle is still rare in New York state, but the warming climate may increase its future spread.
What happens when a young student gets a low math score? A parent may say, "Math has never been your strength." A teacher might write "careless" beside a calculation.
In many African cities, a broken fridge is rarely thrown away immediately. It may be repaired and resold, dismantled for spare parts or collected for its metal components.
Populations of many pollinators, including bumblebees, have been crashing over the last few decades, thanks to the widespread use of chemical pesticides, loss of habitat and the acceleration of climate change. But it can be hard to know just how bad the problem is, or whether conservation strategies are helping, without relying on lethal traps—which can kill tens of thousands of bees in order to get an accurate count of their populations.
A big-eyed, venomous primate that had not been documented in scientific literature since the 1930s has been hiding in plain sight on the Indonesian island of Bangka, turning up in backyards, along roadsides and on power lines and prompting local residents who find them to call the Alobi Wildlife Rescue Center for help.
By the time a child reaches the age of 4 or 5, most parents and caregivers have heard about "kindergarten readiness." But what if a 5-year-old still struggles to count to 10, sing the alphabet song or play cooperatively with other children?
