Humanoid robots built by Chinese firms shattered human world records in the 100-meter sprint and high jump at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, a display of rapid technological progress that lands weeks after Washington moved to ban imports of foreign-made humanoid robots on national security grounds.

A passenger who says he was elbowed, doused in wine, and then berated by a flight attendant aboard an American Airlines flight has filed a federal lawsuit seeking more than $75,000, and the airline's response, he alleges, was to accuse him of misconduct. David Cruz was flying from Miami to Los Angeles in September 2025 on a discounted standby "buddy pass", a travel benefit available because his mother works as a quality control inspector for American Airlines. He sat in seat 17B with an empty seat beside him. That empty seat did not stay empty for long. Crew members transferred an intoxicated passenger who had already been involved in an altercation further back in the cabin into seat 17A, right next to Cruz, rather than restraining the…Open

A team of scientists at the University of Porto says it has found a "measurable biological footprint" connecting specific gut and oral bacteria to psychopathic personality traits, a finding that, if confirmed, could reshape how researchers understand antisocial behavior.

Each participant also submitted blood, saliva, and fecal samples so the team could catalog their bacterial makeup and metabolic markers. What the researchers found was specific and striking: three types of gut bacteria, Allisonella, Prevotella, and…Open
