Lightly frosted with snow, the peaks of Red Butte look particularly beautiful today, remarks Dianna Sue White Dove Uqualla, an elder of the Havasupai Tribe. This land near the south rim of the Grand Canyon is sacred to her people as the place where their creation story says life began. It was once a hub of ceremony and prayer, but tribal members rarely visit now—not since the Pinyon Plain Mine started to extract uranium just 10 kilometers away.

We often think our brains tick away time in perfect synchronization with the clocks on our walls and electronic devices. However, groundbreaking research published in the journal Current Biology provides evidence that our perception of time is not governed by an internal clock but by the number of experiences we have. This study found that changes in brain activity patterns, specifically in the anterior cingulate cortex, indicate that our brains track the passage of time based on the accumulation of experiences rather than a steady internal clock.

With the November election in mind, one question is particularly salient: What are Donald Trump's plans for the Affordable Care Act (ACA)?

A 44-hour emergency closure of northbound Interstate 15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas last month had thousands of motorists fuming, but any improvement to the vital link is still years away. A truck carrying six large lithium batteries in a container that weighed more than 75,000 pounds overturned near Baker, Calif., shortly before 8 a.m. on July 26. A subsequent fire, particularly hazardous because of the chemicals and toxic gases involved, prompted officials to close the northbound lanes as a precaution.

A new summer tradition has developed over the last few years: setting a new record for the hottest day on Earth. According to NASA, the high mark got bumped up twice already this year.
