Using an 80-year-old Italian recipe and homemade tools, this Brooklyn bakery hand-rolls 7,500 cannoli every day.
The dough is made with red wine instead of vinegar for added flavor and color. Each pastry is then fried and filled fresh with a ricotta blend of sheep and cow milk.
We visited the Fortunato Brothers bakery to see how the 50-year-old business meets customer demand while sticking to old-school techniques that haven’t changed in decades.

The F-35 is the most expensive weapons program in US history, and a single jet can cost more than $100 million.
As US defense spending approaches $1 trillion, weapons systems are routinely over budget, delivered late, and, for repairs, rely on the same contractors that built them. So how did America's military spending become so expensive?
Watch the full video about the rising cost of weapons systems and America's growing defense budget using the link in our bio.

Drilling deeper into the Earth has always been limited by extreme heat and pressure. The deepest hole humans have ever created, the Soviet-era Kola Superdeep Borehole, reached just 12.3 kilometers after 20 years of work.
Now, emerging drilling technologies could make 20-kilometer depths possible, dramatically expanding access to geothermal energy.

The F-35 program reveals a bigger issue inside America's defense industry: decades of consolidation have made weapons systems more expensive, slower to deliver, and harder to maintain.
As military spending approaches $1 trillion, the challenge is no longer just building advanced weapons — it's building them efficiently.

Strength training may be one of the best tools for healthy aging.
Researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan are testing a six-month workout program designed to help people stay stronger and healthier as they age. The routine includes exercises like squats, push-ups, rows, and deadlifts — moves linked to better balance, mobility, posture, and muscle strength.
The study is part of the $101 million XPRIZE Healthspan competition, which aims to help people live healthier, longer.
Want to build strength that lasts as you age? See how to do six trainer-approved exercises that can help improve longevity and can be done at home.

Russia launched a rare daytime drone attack on Ukraine before unleashing an overnight missile barrage targeting Kyiv and other cities. Residents across the capital spent hours in bomb shelters as explosions and air raid sirens echoed through the night, while Ukrainian air defenses worked to intercept waves of incoming drones and missiles.
Business Insider reporters on the ground documented the attack from inside a Kyiv shelter.
Russia attacked Ukraine with hundreds of drones on Wednesday in an unusual daytime bombardment. Read more about the attacks at the link in our bio.

Turkey has become the world's biggest hub for hair transplants, attracting around 1 million patients a year thanks to low prices and all-inclusive treatment packages.
But behind the booming $2 billion industry are growing concerns about botched procedures, unlicensed operators, and what happens when patients seek aftercare thousands of miles away from their surgeons. In 2023, Turkey tightened regulations on hair transplant clinics, yet experts say risks remain for medical tourists seeking lower costs.
Watch the full video about Turkey's booming hair transplant industry and the risks patients may not expect at the link in our bio.

In 1993, top Pentagon officials met privately with defense executives in what became known as "The Last Supper."
The goal was to encourage consolidation across the defense industry after the end of the Cold War. Within a decade, 51 contractors had shrunk to just five major firms: Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics.
Today, critics say that reduced competition has contributed to rising costs, delays, and weaker government bargaining power.

This Brooklyn pasta operation produces up to 1 million boxes of ravioli every year using old-school machinery and techniques that have stood the test of time.
The machine injects the filling, seals each ravioli, and cuts it from a thin sheet of dough before workers hand-pack every tray. Each batch is code-dated, stacked by the hundreds, and moved into freezers for distribution across New York.
Watch more on how this Brooklyn pasta shop is preserving a disappearing way of doing business, one batch at a time, at the link in our bio.
