In a Mexican cave system so beautiful and hot that it is called both Fairyland and hell, scientists have discovered life trapped in crystals that could be 50,000 years old. The bizarre and ancient microbes were found dormant in caves in Naica, Mexico, and were able to exist by living on minerals such as iron and manganese, said Penelope Boston, head of NASA’s Astrobiology Institute.

Suppliers are waiting to see whether President Donald Trump will challenge the fundamental assumption that some auto parts can’t be profitably produced in the U.S., even with a 35 percent tariff. Products with high labor content, such as wire harnesses, small motors, cut-and-sew seat components and electronics, typically are produced in low-wage countries such as Mexico.
Protesters take control of Mexican border crossing with US
Protesters took control of vehicle lanes at one of the busiest crossings on the U.S. border Sunday to oppose Mexican gasoline price hikes, waving through motorists into Mexico after Mexican authorities abandoned their posts.
