US Postal Service suspends incoming packages from China, Hong Kong
USPS temporarily stops accepting inbound packages from China and Hong Kong
The us Postal Service has stopped accepting parcels from China and Hong Kong. This follows new tariffs and the end of a rule allowing small packages under $800 to enter juc free. This change is part of President Trump’s effort to curb fentanyl entering the US Chelsea TAM, a senior analyst, said this is a significant challenge for USPS. Experts say retailers like Xen and TEU, who relied on the old rules, will be hit hardest. The new measures aimed to ensure better enforcement of US trade laws, but consumers may see delays in deliveries.

‘Incredibly dangerous’: How to prepare for incoming ice storm
A series of winter storms is set to bring freezing rain and ice to the central and eastern us this week. Freezing rain, which turns to ice on contact, can make roads dangerous and cause power outages. Jonathan Porter, chief meteorologist at ACU weathah, warns a light glaze of ice can create treacherous driving conditions on bridges, highways and ramps in a matter of seconds. To stay safe, stock up on supplies, trim trees, insulate your home, and avoid travel if possible. If you must drive, proceed with extreme caution.

Scientists Just Created a ‘New Type of Matter’
Scientists from Caltech have developed a new type of matter called polycaon. Did architected materials or pans resembling chainmail. These materials combine the properties of solids and liquids. They are particularly good at dissipating energy, making them useful for protective gear and soft robotics. Senior author Kiara drao explains Pams are really a new type of matter. This innovative design could revolutionize how we create helmets, padding, and even biomedical materials, offering a glimpse into a future where materials are more adaptable and resilient.

You might have a spoon’s worth of microplastics – in your brain.
A recent study found microplastics in human brains. Researchers discovered brain samples had more plastic than kidney or liver samples. People who died in 2024 had higher levels of nanoplastics compared to those who died in 2016. The brain, usually protected by the blood-brain barrier, showed surprising levels of these tiny particles. Researchers are still developing precise measurement methods, although more plastics were found in people with dementia, scientists aren’t sure if plastics cause the disease. The health effects of these plastics are still unknown, but ongoing research aims to find answers.
