Kissing Bugs Are Creeping Into Florida Homes—and They’re Carrying a Dangerous Parasite

Investors appear to like a company with big space manufacturing ambitions

Underwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotland's coast is a breakthrough

Submerged in about 40 meters (44 yards) of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity — a durability mark that demonstrates the technology’s commercial viability.
