Mogollon Ghost Town in Mogollon, New Mexico

April 17, 2025

After driving nine miles up a narrow, winding road in the rugged Mogollon Mountains, the ghost town of Mogollon emerges from Silver Creek Canyon like an apparition. Officially established in 1890, the town of Mogollon boomed with rich deposits of gold and silver, as well as timber. People flocked to Mogollon, and by 1915, the town had electricity, water, and telephone lines. Mogollon even had saloons, restaurants, a hospital, a theater, and two red-light districts. At the town’s height……

April 17, 2025

As technology rapidly propels society forward, MIT is rethinking how it prepares students to face the world and its greatest challenges.

The Governor Calvert House is a historic building in downtown Annapolis. Built in the late 1600s, it was once……

LONDON (AP) — Astronomers have found possible chemical signs of life on a distant planet outside our solar system, though they caution more work is needed to confirm their findings.

Independent scientists described the findings as interesting, but not nearly enough to…

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the rooftop patio of the General Services Administration headquarters, an agency staffer recently discovered something strange: a rectangular device attached to a wire that snaked across the roof, over the ledge and into the administrator’s window one floor below. It didn’t take long for the employee — an IT specialist — to figure out the device was a transceiver that communicates with Elon Musk’s vast and private Starlink satellite network. Concerned that the equipment violated…

Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, occurring in about one in 1,050 births in the United States. These defects, which appear when the tissues that form the lip or the roof of the mouth do not join completely, are believed to be caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors. In a new study, MIT biologists have discovered how a genetic variant often found in people with these facial malformations leads to……

April 17, 2025

Standing proudly atop well-manicured rolling hills, the Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach dates to 1927.
