Race for UN top job enters final stage: choice may ‘make or break’ organisation

It is financially strapped, structurally flawed, infamously bureaucratic, reputationally damaged and riven with infighting. So why would anyone want to take on the role of the next secretary general of the United Nations? “I really think there should be some sort of psychiatric test for wanting this position,” said Richard Gowan, global issues and institutions director at the International Crisis Group (ICG). “The stakes are exceptionally high, and there is a strong sense around the UN that the...

China shifts from Africa’s top megaproject lender to a debt collector

Since the mid‑2000s, China has established itself as Africa’s principal bilateral financier for large infrastructure projects, including railways, bridges, dams and ports. But as the loans involved reach maturity, Beijing has transitioned from a net provider of funds to a net collector. Drawing on data from Boston University’s Global Development Policy Centre and its own calculations, Oxford Economics Africa said in a new analysis that Chinese loan commitments dropped from a peak of US$28.8...

24 zonas de trabajo, grúas de 400 toneladas y casi 116 metros de altura: SpaceX está levantando otra megaestructura en EEUU

Estados Unidos tiene una forma muy particular de construir grande: no siempre para levantar el edificio más alto ni el más llamativo, sino para resolver problemas que se salen de la escala normal. Grand Central Terminal nació para ordenar el pulso ferroviario de Nueva York; la planta de Boeing en Everett , para fabricar aviones gigantes bajo un mismo techo. Lo que SpaceX está dando forma en Florida pertenece a esa misma familia de infraestructuras: edificios que no se entienden solo por sus dimensiones, sino por la operación enorme que intentan hacer posible. En esa categoría entra la…

Ends with a bang: Why lightning stopped stalking the Strait of Malacca

A bolt from the blue that never strikes the same place twice: Lightning is the proverbial placeholder for the unpredictable. Nature’s light show erupts whenever and wherever positive and negative charges within a storm cloud collide with sufficient force. But if lightning is truly place-agnostic, why does it have a thing for cargo ships? Something odd in the skies above the strait Look at these paired maps of where the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea rub shoulders. The lower one shows a bright orange trail of particulate matter that perfectly tracks with one of the world’s busiest sea…

Everyday packaging plastic may compound fatty liver risk from burgers and sodas

Microplastics have become nearly impossible to avoid. They have been detected in oceans, drinking water and even the human body, but scientists are still uncovering how they affect human health. Now, researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have uncovered evidence that one of the world's most common plastics may do more than pollute the environment. Their findings suggest that polyethylene may contribute to fatty liver disease and worsen the condition when combined with an unhealthy diet.

Psychedelics amplify brain connectivity through serotonin receptors, study suggests

Psychedelics like psilocybin (from magic mushrooms), LSD, DMT and mescaline profoundly alter how we perceive, feel and think. After decades of neglect, they are again the subject of serious scientific inquiry, largely because of their promise for treating depression, anxiety, addiction and other conditions. But this therapeutic promise has run ahead of a more basic understanding: While a great deal of attention has gone to whether psychedelics help treat mental disorders, far less has gone to what they actually do in a general sense—the fundamental way they change perception, thought and…

Vitamin C may fight cancer — but not the way scientists once thought

Linus Pauling was widely mocked for claiming that vitamin C could fight cancer, especially after trials using vitamin C pills showed no benefit. Researchers now know that intravenous vitamin C reaches vastly higher concentrations and can behave more like an experimental cancer drug than an ordinary supplement. Early studies suggest it may damage vulnerable cancer cells, reduce treatment side effects, and possibly improve outcomes for some patients.
