This FBI is crushing narcotics networks and dismantling criminal enterprises across the country. As part of Summer Heat 2.0, our teams have seized nearly 10,000 kg of narcotics and 3,116 weapons, and made 5,097 arrests, and we’re not slowing down. On this International Overdose Awareness Day, we reaffirm our commitment to combat drug trafficking organizations and crush violent crime to restore safety in our communities.

James Brass, Jateisha Herron, and Courtney Price allegedly stole the identities of registered voters, paid people on Skid Row to forge signatures, and tried to pass them off as legitimate.

Election integrity matters. @FBILosAngeles and our partners will follow the evidence wherever it leads.

On Sept 15, Wyoming opens hunting in Wolf Hunt Area 1 with a quota of four wolves.

The wolf family denning inside it is the last thread back to Yellowstone's 1995 reintroduction. (1/4)

🚨 Scientists Turn Human Waste Into Stronger Concrete

What if something we normally flush away could one day help build roads, buildings, and bridges?

Scientists have found a surprising way to give human waste a second life. Researchers led by civil engineer Raghuvesh Tiwari at Manipal University Jaipur processed fecal sludge from treatment plants and heated it without oxygen to create a carbon-rich material called biochar.

The researchers replaced just 10% of the cement in a concrete mixture with this waste-derived biochar. After 91 days of curing, the new concrete showed a 21% increase in compressive strength and a remarkable 42% increase in flexural strength compared with traditional concrete.

But why would waste make concrete stronger?

The secret appears to be hidden inside the biochar itself. Its tiny pores can hold water and slowly release it over time. This helps maintain moisture inside the concrete while cement continues its chemical curing process, potentially allowing the material to develop greater strength.

And the idea could have an impact far beyond one laboratory.

Cement production is responsible for a significant share of global carbon dioxide emissions. Turning treated human waste into a useful material could reduce the amount of conventional cement needed while also giving sewage waste a productive new purpose.

There are still important questions to answer. Researchers need to study how this type of concrete performs over long periods and under harsh conditions such as freezing temperatures and salt exposure.

Still, the discovery raises a fascinating possibility: the waste we flush away today could become part of the infrastructure we build tomorrow.

I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try and cheat like hell…I am going to go out and I'm going to get my friends and my family and we are going to vote on Nov. 3…So help me God.”
