At least $1.6 million in federal funds for projects meant to capture and digitize stories of the systemic abuse of generations of Indigenous children in boarding schools at the hands of the U.S. government.

The cuts are just a fraction of the grants canceled by the National Endowment for the Humanities in recent weeks .

The National Endowment for the Humanities announced that it was awarding $ 411,000 to more than a dozen tribal nations and organizations working to illustrate the impact of boarding schools.

More than half of those awards have since been terminated.

The grant cuts were documented by the non-profit organization National Humanities Alliance .

K2-18b is the first planet in the 18th planetary system found by the extended NASA Kepler mission, K2 .

It is about eight times more massive than Earth and has a volume that’s about 18 times larger.

Astronomers think it could either be a mini- Neptune or a rocky planet with no water but a massive hydrogen atmosphere, called a gas dwarf.

In a hycean world, water would be trapped in the deeper and warmer atmosphere.

Students at some schools said early cuts are chipping away at the sense of community that helped open the door to higher education.

The government’s anti-DEI campaign is being challenged in court by opponents who say it offers little clarity on exactly which practices are outlawed.

Opponents are pressing the White House to go further.

Five people were able to see a new color, dubbed "olo," called a "blue-green of unprecedented saturation" Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley , used laser light to switch on specific light-sensitive cells in the human eye.

Controlling the retina at this granular level could open up new ways of studying vision, the researchers said.

Scientists are exploring the idea of using Oz to study and treat color blindness, as well as to stimulate the experience of having a fourth type of cone cell.

Currently, users must fix their gaze in one spot to use Oz, because the scientists mapped only a small portion of the retina containing thousands of cones.

Oz could theoretically be used for everyday color displays, like those in your television or phone screen, but that application seems very unlikely.
