Our city, Our team, Our title.

Japan’s fans stayed behind after one of the more dramatic games of the World Cup so far — not to continue the celebrations, but to clean up.

A new technology allows metal circuits floating on water to be transferred directly onto any desired surface. A South Korean research team has introduced a novel technique capable of transferring ultra-fine nanocircuits onto plant leaves and fruits, as well as curved automotive surfaces and robot exteriors, all without causing any damage. This technology could be widely used across industries, including smart agriculture, wearable health care and bioelectronics.

Urban parks could play a major role in protecting people from rising heat, pollution and noise in cities, according to new research led by the University of Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE).

The restaurant industry is ever-changing. These are the restaurants that have opened — and closed — in the Capital Region so far in 2026.

Monica Day explored the power of air pressure at COSI with educator Joe Wood, demonstrating how a wooden stool can be lifted with air pressure and how a cloud can be created in a plastic bottle.

Researchers have found evidence of a previously unknown branch of the marsupial family tree, a discovery that could reshape our understanding of how Australia's unique mammals evolved. Published in the Journal of Paleontology, the study describes three new species of small, insect-eating marsupials from Queensland's Riversleigh World Heritage Area.

Ten years ago, if you had told me that I’d be riding what I would soon call an “excellent commuter e-bike” despite it weighing 118 pounds (53.5 kg) and rolling on 24×4.0-inch fat tires, I probably would have laughed. Today, though, I’m not so sure. The Ariel Rider Kepler occupies a category that doesn’t really exist on paper but makes a lot of sense in the real world: the fat tire commuter. Plenty of riders buy adventure-style e-bikes and end up using them almost exclusively for city riding anyway, enjoying the comfortable fat tires, upright riding position, and confidence-inspiring handling. Ariel Rider seems to have looked at that trend and decided to lean into it instead of fighting it.

Cape Verde stunned Spain in the World Cup on Monday, earning a draw against a tournament favorite in the teams’ opening match. Spain is ranked No. 2 in the world, while Cabo Verde is No. 67, and making its debut in the World Cup. Spain pressured Cape Verde all game — shot attempts were 27 to 6 in favor of the reigning European champions. But goalkeeper Vozinha stopped all seven shots that made it on goal. Cape Verdeans had gathered at Boston Logan International Airport two weeks ago to welcome the Blue Sharks to the United States for the tournament. The team isn’t playing in Boston, but the city and surrounding area has a large Cape Verdean population. The African island nation topped its qualifying group to become the second-smallest country, by population, to make it to a World Cup. Only Iceland, which played in the 2018 tournament, is smaller. “It’s a significant moment for our country,” said Ed Lopes, who was at the airport. &#8220
