MPs voted this week to ban anyone aged 15 or younger in 2024 from buying cigarettes. If the legislation passes and is enacted, it would be a world first. Ben Quinn reportsBefore 2007, going out on the town in the UK involved inhaling secondhand smoke – on trains, in restaurants, in clubs and in pubs.

After storing a shipment of 300 hibernating common eastern bumblebee queens in a refrigerator,...

‘Something cool had to have happened in this system,’ researchers say
Both drones are great for experimenting with aerial photography and videography.
