A century old idea from Erwin Schrödinger has taken a major step forward, thanks to new research into how humans perceive differences between colors. A team led by Los Alamos scientist Roxana Bujack used geometry to build a mathematical definition of color perception based on hue, saturation, and lightness. Their results, presented at a visualization science conference, formalize Schrödinger’s model of color and show that these familiar color qualities are built into the structure of color perception itself. “What we conclude is that these color qualities don’t emerge from additional external constructs such as cultural or learned experiences but reflect…

Derek Dooley campaigned in rural Georgia this month with a lifelong friend: Gov. Brian Kemp, who also happens to be the state’s most popular Republican. Yet Mr. Dooley remains, by his own admission, the underdog in the Republican Senate primary runoff.His opponent, Representative Mike Collins, who led after both advanced to a runoff in the first-round election last month, is the race’s self-styled MAGA candidate. President Trump has not endorsed either man ahead of the June 16 runoff — at least not yet.But Mr. Collins told a Republican women’s club in suburban Griffin last week that Georgia’s MAGA crowd has…

More than two months of on-again, off-again peace talks have made little progress toward settling the U.S. war on Iran. But President Trump has lately claimed a major breakthrough.“The one guarantee that I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons,” Mr. Trump said in an interview with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump on Fox News last month. Iran, he added, has “agreed to that, and it was very interesting.”Mr. Trump emphasized the point again on Monday. “They’ve already agreed they’re not going to have a nuclear weapon,” he told a New York Post podcast. “That was one…

If you have a super-packed schedule, some stress relief advice can fall short. You might ask yourself: “When am I going to find time for exercise or meditation?” You might be juggling work (or working multiple jobs), parenting, and caregiving responsibilities — and lacking free time.According to the American Psychological Association’s (APA) 2025 Stress in America report, 69 percent of employed Americans say work-related stress negatively impacts them.[1] This figure is nearly as high as the percentage reported in May 2020, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]And that’s not the only stressor affecting a majority of respondents. Seventy-six…

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss, affecting millions of men and women around the world. It is often known as male or female pattern hair loss, and it usually develops gradually as hair follicles shrink over time. As follicles become smaller, they produce thinner, shorter hairs until growth may slow dramatically or stop. Current treatments, including finasteride and minoxidil, can help some people, but they are not ideal for everyone. Finasteride works by targeting hormones involved in follicle shrinkage, while minoxidil is commonly used on the scalp to encourage growth. However, some patients worry about…

Some top Democrats are struggling to respond to the latest controversy surrounding Graham Platner, whose campaign in Maine is essential to the party’s attempt to win back control of the Senate in the midterm elections.In the last week, Platner has faced new scrutiny for sexual messages he sent to women outside his marriage.

About a decade ago, the war in Syria helped to forge an unlikely partnership in the Middle East between Turkey and Russia. It is now unraveling. In its place, Turkey is helping Ukraine to establish a foothold in a part of the world where President Vladimir Putin of Russia previously enjoyed considerable influence.The partnership between Mr. Putin and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey has always been equivocal, and for a time, it seemed that the war in Syria might draw them into a direct confrontation. Ankara was supporting the rebels trying to topple Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s brutal dictator, while…

Hormone therapy (HT) involves using various combinations of progesterone and estrogen either as capsules, creams, injections, sprays, patches, gels, or vaginal rings.[31]Hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for night sweats and hot flashes.[32] This may significantly improve quality of life and sleep.
