How sleep tourism became a booming business for hotels

From AI-enhanced smart beds to ‘pillow menus,’ hotels are looking to cash in on sleep as the new wellness travel trend.

Set on a serene campus featuring adobe walls and eucalyptus trees, Canyon Ranch Tucson offers a unique travel experience. This Arizona property is credited with creating the wellness resort concept.

The space station is leaking. Why it hasn't imperiled the mission.

Some of the main modules of the International Space Station are nearly a quarter-century old. "That's considered classic for a car," said Bennett Maruca, an astronomer and physicist at the University of Delaware.

So it's little surprise one of the earliest chambers, attached in 2000, has sprung a problematic leak. The leak is in Russia's Zvezda service module, an area connecting the module to a docking port, and it was first detected five years ago. But the rate of leakage has increased in...
