Why is a US armada steaming toward Venezuela? White House is selling a narcoterrorist threat that officials call awfully thin. Critics see a different agenda: a South Florida First policy, blending Rubio’s anti-leftist crusade with Trump’s reported desire for Venezuela oil and mineral wealth.

Scientists just broke physics (again). Using extreme magnets, they found an insulator acting like a metal — not just on its surface, but inside its bulk. What does it mean? The lead researcher admits the really bizarre finding is, for now, practically useless, offering only a fascinating puzzle.
“Really bizarre” quantum discovery defies the rules of physics
Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect originates in the material’s bulk rather than its surface. The finding points toward a “new duality” in materials science—where compounds may behave as both metals and insulators—offering a fascinating puzzle for future research.
