Daniele Struppa has always insisted he’s a mathematician first. Even through nearly 10 years at the helm of Chapman University, he kept a whiteboard in his office crowded with equations. Staying curious, he said, is what makes him feel most alive. “I’m always wondering why stuff happens the way it happens. And the only way to answer the question is through research,” Struppa said. “You’re never bored. Never bored. There is never the same problem twice.” Daniele Struppa, left, talks about retiring after 9 years as Chapman University president and returning to the mathematics faculty at the Orange, CA school.…
By Will Wade, Bloomberg News Swelling U.S. demand for electricity has the potential to boost coal consumption as much as 57%, according to mining giant Peabody Energy Corp., in what would be a major shift for an industry that’s been waning for years. With the U.S. seeking to meet skyrocketing demand and the Trump administration pushing to prop up the coal industry, Peabody expects utilities to ramp up output from coal plants that are running well below full speed, the company said in an investor presentation on Wednesday. Boosting usage to “historic capacity factors” could lead to more than 250…
By REGINA GARCIA CANO and JUAN ARRAEZ, Associated Press CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — María Alejandra Rubio hasn’t seen her son in five months. They were separated in the United States when she was detained to be deported to her native Venezuela and he was sent to live with a family friend. Rubio says U.S. immigration authorities led her to believe she would board a plane to Venezuela with her 8-year-old son, Anyerson. But she made the hourslong journey last month without him. Heartbroken, Rubio is now part of a group of Venezuelan mothers and grandmothers appealing to U.S. first lady…

By ANNIE MA and SHARON LURYE, Associated Press Education Writers IRVING, Texas (AP) — Crowded around a workshop table, four girls at de Zavala Middle School puzzled over a Lego machine they had built. As they flashed a purple card in front of a light sensor, nothing happened. The teacher at the Dallas-area school had emphasized that in the building process, there is no such thing as mistakes. Only iterations. So the girls dug back into the box of blocks and pulled out an orange card. They held it over the sensor and the machine kicked into motion. “Oh! Oh,…
By DEE-ANN DURBIN and BARRY HATTON RIO FRIO, Portugal (AP) — U.S. winemakers have something to celebrate: the corks they’re popping aren’t subject to tariffs. Cork comes from the spongy bark of the cork oak tree, which is primarily grown and harvested in the Mediterranean basin. The framework trade agreement between the United States and the European Union singled out the material as an “unavailable natural product.” So as of Sept. 1, cork joined a handful of other items, including airplanes and generic pharmaceuticals, that are exempt from a 15% U.S. tariff on most EU products. The cork carve-out was…
By SEUNG MIN KIM and MEG KINNARD, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump launched Operation Warp Speed in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, an effort he has credited with saving tens of millions of lives. During a Cabinet meeting last week, he likened it to “one of the greatest achievements ever.” Sitting at the table as a proud Trump spoke was Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who came under fire at a congressional hearing Thursday for his work to restrict access to vaccines, including the very COVID-19 shots still touted by his boss.…

By Michael Burke | EdSource Community colleges in California for years have been fighting a losing battle with fraudsters who have stolen millions of dollars in federal and state financial aid. But now state officials believe they are finally turning a corner thanks to new tools. The game-changer? Artificial intelligence. About 80 of the state’s 115 community colleges are now or will soon be using an AI model that detects fake students by looking for information such as shared phone numbers, suspicious course-taking patterns and even an applicant’s age. Officials say the AI catches twice as many scammers as the human…
