Yemen is Dead. Here's What Will Replace It
If you look at a map of Yemen dated December 1, 2025, it’s already wrong. In just two weeks, a separatist group called the Southern Transitional Council (STC) has upended nearly a decade of assumptions about the country’s balance of power.

7 Materials That Defy the Laws of Physics
There are tons of scientific laws out there. You’ve heard of them: Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion, the Universal Law of Gravitation, Newton’s Laws of Motion, you get the idea.
