One of the tournament favorites will face off with a country making its World Cup debut today.
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. “

GLP-1s do not harm male hormones or fertility after long-term use, according to a study being presented Monday at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Chicago. In fact, the research team found GLP-1s may improve testosterone levels and sperm quality in men with obesity-related low testosterone, while also addressing the underlying effects of obesity.
Scientists spotted the enigmatic creatures in 2019 and again in 2024, marking the first time they've been observed alive in the wild. The sightings drastically expand the animals' known geographic and depth range
If you ever find yourself needing a break from shopping, Dubai Mall offers a casual alternative: a 10-million-liter ocean dropped right next to the Cheesecake Factory restaurant. The Dubai Aquarium's centerpiece is a massive suspended tank where hundreds of sharks and rays glide past shoppers. The real magic happens inside the 48-meter transparent adventure, offering a 270-degree acrylic walkthrough from 11 metres below the surface. Walking through it feels like a slow-motion stroll across the sea floor, offering a fish-eye view of sand tiger sharks overhead. For those who wish to explore more than the rays and sharks, the upstairs zoo is home to King Croc, a massive saltwater giant who serves as a living reminder of prehistoric scale. The massive aquarium is visible, without the need for ticketing, from inside the mall. However, exploring the full scale of the Aquarium and Zoo, along with all experiences they offer requires prior booking. Tickets can be purchased online or at the doo

A team of U.S. researchers has designed a passive quantum error correction technique that enables qubits to correct their own errors. Demonstrated by Shruti Shirol and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the protocol transforms the inevitable dissipation of energy in qubit systems from a hindrance into an advantage, offering a promising route toward practical quantum computing outside the lab. The research has been published in Physical Review X.
