Microgravity reshapes astronaut brains within weeks - causing fluid shifts, structural changes, and vision impairment that can persist long after return to Earth.

Thirty years ago, environmental advocate Brad Lancaster challenged conventional water management by redirecting stormwater from a roadside curb into the soil outside his home in Tucson, Arizona. What was once considered an unauthorized practice has since evolved into a city-supported model for urban water conservation.
