Pregnant women exposed to disease-causing 'forever chemicals' could be at a greater risk of developing a major pregnancy complication that has been on the rise for the past decade.

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a misunderstanding of work by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.
