For many people, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee is the start of a great day. But caffeine can cause headaches and jitters in others. That’s why many people reach for a decaffeinated cup instead. I’m a chemistry professor who has taught lectures on why chemicals dissolve in some liquids but not in others.

There has never been an opening ceremony quite like it. For the first time in Olympic Games history, the ceremony took place outside a stadium arena. Despite a rainy and miserable Paris evening, enormous crowds – most who paid no fee to attend – lined the banks of the Seine to witness this outdoor promenade of history, art and sport as 100 boats carrying 10,500 athletes sailed down the river. Designed to showcase the depth of French culture and celebrate the Olympics as a source of human greatness and unity, the ceremony combined the traditional and the irreverent. Paris featured…

With An Taoiseach Simon Harris watching in the stand, the scoreline could have been harsher for Ireland, save for Harte and the defensive effort of his team-mates.Overall, Belgium had 17 shots at goal and were awarded eight penalty corners so to concede only two goals tells a story of the Irish work-rate. And the goals came from players who’re among the best in the world. In the second quarter,…
One-in-five U.S. adults ages 50 and older have never had children, according to Pew Research Center analysis of government data.

(The data doesn’t go back far enough to allow us to analyze how these figures have changed over time). This chapter looks at how adults ages 50 and older who haven’t had children compare with parents…

The Slovak government office told Reuters in a statement on Friday that Prime Minister Robert Fico had discussed the issue with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and Fico had proposed “a technical solution in which several states including Slovakia would have to participate.” Slovak and Hungarian officials have criticized Ukraine for halting Lukoil’s supplies, saying the ensuing cutoffs threaten their own energy security. Both countries have called on the European Commission to begin formal talks with Ukraine. Commission spokesperson Olof Gill said on Thursday that the EU executive was still “looking at the facts” and would “make a decision when…
