NASA’s X-59 Jet Breaks Sound Barrier With Near-Silent Boom
NASA's X-59 Quesst jet crossed the sound barrier for the first time on June 5, 2026, generating a sonic signature roughly 30 decibels quieter than the Concorde—a potential turning point for commercial supersonic travel over land.
KSU & Oglethorpe Expand Physics & Engineering Pathways
Kennesaw State University and Oglethorpe University have expanded their LINK partnership to formalize structured degree pathways in physics and engineering. The collaboration addresses long-standing access barriers for transfer students and first-generation STEM learners.
GLP-1 Drug Semaglutide May Slow Biological Aging
A new UC San Diego clinical trial found that semaglutide, the drug behind Ozempic and Wegovy, measurably slowed biological aging across multiple epigenetic clocks. Researchers say the findings suggest GLP-1 drugs may do far more than control weight and blood sugar.
NASA’s X-59 Breaks Sound Barrier in Historic First Flight
NASA's X-59 experimental aircraft crossed the sound barrier for the first time on June 5, 2026, over the California desert. The milestone advances the agency's Quesst mission to make quiet supersonic passenger travel commercially viable.
Do Smartphones Lower Fertility Rates? What the Study Shows
A working paper claims smartphones account for up to 52% of U.S. fertility rate decline since 2007, but the research has not yet undergone peer review. Here's what the findings actually say — and what remains unproven.
