If regulation of abortion access falls to the states, it will unleash legal havoc over pregnancy-ending medications that are shipped across state lines.
Although real-world data is scant, proponents say robotics and AI will soon revolutionize agriculture.
In theory, the building blocks of life are possible with a more expansive code than three-letter codons. New work shows that would be a challenge.
Proposals for wind, solar, and battery storage projects are running into a logjam of paperwork and grid connection issues.
Researchers have struggled to quantify in real time how much carbon dioxide humans spout. Lockdowns presented a unique opportunity to get a clearer picture.
Let’s calculate whether the lightsaber-catching, Sarlacc-pit-avoiding maneuver can be done by mere mortals or requires help from the Force.
If everyone ate just 20 percent less beef, deforestation rates by 2050 could be half as bad.
A new study shows how future inhabitants of the Red Planet could run on either energy source, depending on where they set up camp.
Scientists have finally found Antarctica’s missing groundwater, which will help them predict ice flows on the continent.
The technique uses plants as fuel and sequesters the emitted CO2, removing it from the atmosphere. But scaling up would use gobs of water and land.
Suits by states and environmentalists are contesting a USPS contract to buy 165,000 trucks, the majority of which get only 8.6 miles per gallon.
Dopamine, a neurochemical often associated with reward behavior, seems to help organize precisely when the brain initiates movements.
Climate change and human activity are destroying the layers of fungi, lichen, and bacteria that protect deserts from erosion.
In certain states, politicians could leap on the opportunity to push for the criminalization of certain methods of birth control and to impair access to IVF.
The vast majority of tick-borne disease goes unrecorded, meaning life-threatening pathogens are traveling under the radar to new locations.
International experts are using earthly policies as models to hash out regulations for orbiting spacecraft, from preventing conflict to limiting trash.
Tiny wobbles in Earth’s gravitational field could help detect big tremors faster, but they’re hard to tease out from the planet’s seismic noise.
The acerbic optimist thinks anxious people (like me) need to move on from Covid and start planning for the next vicious pathogen.
Researchers have created autonomous particles covered with patches of protein “motors.” They hope these bots will tote lifesaving drugs through bodily fluids.
The seedlings sprouted in the regolith scooped up in the 1960s and ’70s, but astronauts won’t be harvesting lunar spuds anytime soon.
Most people don’t think about abortion until they need one. But with the right to access under threat, the time to plan is now.
NASA’s EMIT mission will better analyze the grime from dust-spewing regions, a critically understudied factor in climate change.
You can definitely use the stars as your guide. But let’s check whether a scene from the Disney+ live action series would work in the real world.
Theoretically, yes. But it’s not terribly practical. And it might mean you’re a supervillain.
Barriers are going up rapidly as border projects and livestock farming increase, but they impede wildlife migrations and genetically isolate threatened species.
New research shows the snakes activate different sections of their rib cage, using their lungs as bellows to pull in air.
A new proof significantly strengthens a decades-old result about the ubiquity of ways to represent whole numbers as sums of fractions.
Changing the genetic makeup of trees could supercharge their ability to suck up carbon dioxide. But are forests of frankentrees really a good idea?
