Long-term use of melatonin, a widely used sleep supplement, was linked to a higher risk of heart failure, hospitalization for heart failure, and death from any cause among people with chronic insomnia, according to preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025. The findings do not prove that melatonin itself caused the increased risks. However, they raise new questions about the long-term safety of a supplement that many people view as a harmless or "natural" way to improve sleep.

The federal government is investing $50 million in a national agri-food technology network aimed at helping farmers and food processors adopt automation and other technologies while strengthening Canada’s food supply chain. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly announced the funding Wednesday for the Canadian Agri-Food Automation and Intelligence Network, or CAAIN.

Charm mesons are a type of subatomic particle that can switch states from matter to antimatter. Our world has an imbalance of matter and antimatter, and scientists think studying the charm meson particle’s oscillating states could help us understand why. Scientists want to understand if the rate of transition from particle to antiparticle is the same as the rate of transition from antiparticle to particle. We see physics play out every second of our waking lives. Thanks to gravity, you drop your coffee mug, and it shatters on the floor. Thanks to friction, your car’s brakes transfer kinetic energy into heat energy so you can safely stop. Even walking depends on the laws of motion. These are all easily visible examples of the rules that govern our physical world. But what if the tiny parts of our existence—the ones we can’t see with the naked eye—actually hold the most answers? Charm mesons are extremely short-lived subatomic particles with a balanced number of quarks and antiquarks. In case you skipped that lecture in quantum physics, quarks are particles that combine together to form “hadrons,” some of which are protons and neutrons—the basic components of atomic nuclei.

Suno is introducing deliberate friction to pump the brakes on the AI-powered superabundance it helped create. By implementing download caps (per Variety), the company is putting guardrails around how much music users can output. Streaming services have removed millions of suspected ‘spam’ tracks, and TechRepublic reports Spotify is introducing AI persona labelling. With Suno also signing a licensing deal with BMG (according to Music Business Worldwide), all signs point to a world where AI is seen less as a bull in a china shop and more as an opportunity that can viably be integrated, governed, and monetised by the music industry. Ultimately, as the integration of AI unfolds, the industry will increasingly need to solve the cultural problems created by superabundance, alongside reaping the functional benefits AI can deliver.

A return to the Braves' rotation this season seems to be unlikely for Strider.

John Lauritsen is an Emmy Award and Edward R. Murrow Regional Award-winning reporter from Montevideo, Minn. He joined WCCO-TV in late July 2007. A major merger between Minnesota-based North Memorial Health and South Dakota-based Sanford Health was announced in May, and is set to close in a matter of days. Soon after that announcement, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced his office has struck a 10-year oversight agreement with the health systems. "Minnesota is known the world over for first-class healthcare. We take pride in it, and we work hard to make sure Minnesotans can access and afford the care that they need," Ellison said in a Friday morning news conference. "Access to high-quality healthcare is an essential part of being able to afford your life and live with dignity, safety and respect. "Ellison says the deal includes a $600 million investment to ensure a "commitment to maintain core services" at North Memorial Health hospital in Robbinsdale, as well as at its Maple Grove hospitals.

(Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)The federal government is asking a court to toss out a high-profile environmental lawsuit, arguing that it's not required to update Canada's climate plan to meet national emissions reduction targets. The government also says it's not the court's role to make or direct climate policy, and has filed a motion asking the court to strike the case before it goes to full hearings. In June, three young people and two environmental groups launched a lawsuit asking the Federal Court to order Ottawa to amend its climate plan.
