    Plants might not hold on to carbon as long as we thought

    Plants might not hold on to carbon as long as we thought

    That fact became a scientific silver lining to the bomb tests: The bursts of radiocarbon circulating through Earth’s system, scientists realized, were a lot like pulses of radioactive medical tracers traveling through a human body.


    Governments bans on quantum computer exports have no basis in science

    Governments bans on quantum computer exports have no basis in science

    There are two possibilities here: either they are wrong, as scientific evidence suggests, and pointless legislation is now being cut and pasted across the world, or they are right and have now alerted their adversaries that this is a number worth paying attention to.

    Panda ant: The wasps whose black and white females have giant stingers and parasitic babies

    Panda ants have another uncommon skill– the capability to produce high-pitched noises by scrubing together components of their bodies such as their antennae or legs to caution off killers. Other wasps from the Mutillidae family can create similar sounds, the noise made by panda ants can get to ultrasonic levels. A female panda ant can...


    ‘Space hurricanes’ churn at both of Earth’s magnetic poles

    ‘Space hurricanes’ churn at both of Earth’s magnetic poles

    When the lines reconnect, they roil ionized gas in the ionosphere, driving flows of electric current upward, the team suggests.


    Floating whale carcasses are a problem – can we predict their drift?

    Floating whale carcasses are a problem – can we predict their drift?

    After the satellite data was collected, the team used a search-and-rescue computer model to see what paths it simulated for various objects that resembled the profile of a dead whale, including a skiff, a life raft and a small vessel called a panga, based on the same location and weather conditions.

    Artificial flavours released by cooking aim to improve lab-grown meat

    Johannes le Coutre at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, says he is sceptical of the work for numerous reasons, including that the flavour tests predominantly used an electronic nose to assess the chemicals being released, rather than human judgement of whether they smelled appetising.
