• Department of Justice ने पिछले सप्ताह घोषणा की कि उसने Medical Marijuana पर कानूनी प्रतिबंधों में ढील दी है, जिसका उद्देश्य पूरे US में अनुसंधान और उपचार के विकल्पों का विस्तार करना है। • इस नीतिगत बदलाव से उन राज्यों में जहां चिकित्सा कार्यक्रम हैं, अधिक clinical studies और मरीजों की पहुंच को सुगम बनाने की उम्मीद है। • यह बदलाव संघीय रूप से स्वीकृत marijuana शोध में लंबे समय से चली आ रही बाधाओं को दूर करता है, जिससे संभावित रूप से उपचारात्मक विकास में तेजी आने की संभावना है।

• FBI ने एक चीनी राज्य-प्रायोजित हैकर को गिरफ्तार किया है, जिसे इटली से प्रत्यर्पित किया गया था। • इस हैकर पर Covid-19 शोध से संबंधित संवेदनशील जानकारी चुराने के लिए लक्षित हमले करने का आरोप है।

2026 estimates for wolves on island highest since late 1970s but moose population declining dramaticallyWolves on a remote island in Lake Superior appear to be thriving, but they’re making deep dents in the moose population that they rely on as a leading food source, according to a report released Monday.Isle Royale is a 134,000-acre (54,200-hectare) national park in far western Lake Superior between Grand Marais, Minnesota, and Thunder Bay, Canada. The island is a natural laboratory, offering scientists a rare opportunity to observe wolves and moose largely free from human influence. Continue reading...

Study of 1,300 campaigners finds arrests, fines and jail terms increase determination of activists to take direct actionThe criminalisation of direct action climate protests in the UK is counterproductive and increases the determination of activists to undertake disruptive demonstrations, according to a study of 1,300 campaigners.New findings suggest arrests, fines and lengthy prison sentences given to nonviolent climate protesters who have blocked roads or damaged buildings may actually radicalise them. The repression of protest could even be one driver of recent covert actions such as the cutting of internet cables, they said. Continue reading...

• Researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider detected rare Higgs boson decay patterns that deviate from Standard Model predictions, suggesting potential physics beyond current theoretical frameworks. • The analysis examined 150 billion particle collisions collected over two years, revealing a 3.2 sigma deviation in the boson's decay pathways, announced on April 20 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. • The findings could indicate undiscovered particles or fundamental forces and represent significant progress toward understanding the universe's most elusive particles.
