Victor Wembanyama’s flagrant foul represents a good starting point. Wemby getting egged as he returned to the Spurs’ team hotel represents a good ending point.

A Maury County man charged with child sexual exploitation allegedly has ties to dangerous online groups, according to a recently unsealed federal indictment.

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM What if scraps from a dinner could become a habitat? That’s the basic premise of the Shells for Shorelines program in a meaningful sense: the shells of oysters eaten at restaurants in Orange County can become the foundation on which new oysters settle and grow in the ocean. The […] The post Dinner scraps are rebuilding California’s lost oyster reefs first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

A new treatment that involves growing a patient's immune cells and then infusing them back into their body has shown promise for people with the rare blood disorder aplastic anemia. Results from the Phase 1 trial, led by Professor Ghulam Mufti, provide the first evidence that autologous regulatory T-cell therapy is feasible and safe in people with aplastic anemia and may have clinical benefit.

OG Anunoby was wide open. Tom Crean, his former college coach, recognized it immediately. 

The Nationals aren’t a certain seller with their surprisingly strong start, but if they do sell, star SS CJ Abrams should draw significant interest (.905 OPS).

Astronomers have discovered a huge reservoir of cold molecular gas, the direct fuel for star formation, in REBELS-25, a massive, star-forming galaxy. The team, led from Leiden University, focused on REBELS-25, seen when the universe was only about 700 million years old, around 5% of its current age. The research is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Former Cavaliers big man Channing Frye isn’t shy to show confidence in his championship-winning team from the 2016 NBA Finals.

Denver signed Sean Payton to a new five-year contract Thursday, replacing the previous deal that still had two years remaining.

GaN-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are promising for displays, sensing and optical communication, but improving efficiency remains challenging. Researchers have now shown that "cavity tuning," which controls resonance wavelength, strongly affects laser performance. By analyzing variations across a VCSEL wafer, the team identified optimal mirror loss conditions and extracted device parameters. Their approach achieved 26.4% wall plug efficiency, offering guidance for next-generation high-efficiency visible-light semiconductor lasers.
