In this episode of Science Quickly, we cover a few important
updates on the measles outbreaks in the U.S. We also look at how
governments are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence for
military action, including the recent U.S. airstrikes against Iran.
Plus, we dive into a worrying new finding about the quickening pace
of global warming. And finally, we explore the complex physics
behind the delightful squeaks of basketball shoes. Recommended
