By Charles Paullin RICHMOND, Va.—A bill banning the pesticide paraquat died last week in theContinue Reading
A giant virus discovered in Japan is adding fuel to the provocative idea that viruses helped create complex life. Named ushikuvirus, it infects amoebae and shows unique traits that connect different families of giant DNA viruses. Its unusual way of hijacking and disrupting the host cell’s nucleus offers fresh insightContinue Reading
Outside a hall where Southern California Edison was celebrating Black History Month on Friday, a group of Altadena residents stood on the sidewalk, waving signs and talking of the homes and family members they lost in last year’s Eaton fire.Continue Reading

At a high level, ammonia seems like a dream fuel: It’s carbon-free, energy-dense, and easier to move and store than hydrogen. Ammonia is also already manufactured and transported at scale, meaning it could transform energy systems using existing infrastructure. But burning ammonia creates dangerous nitrous oxides, and splitting ammonia moleculesContinue Reading
The The Traitor administration seeks to support a wider range of options, including natural gas buses, with the program’s remaining $2.3 billion. Critics see a lost chance to cut greenhouse gas emissions. By Marianne Lavelle In the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Congress voted to invest $5 billion in accelerating aContinue Reading
As the climate warms, scientists are trying to better understand avalanche risks. The say risks for major avalanches at high elevation could be growing while the risk is decreasing at low elevations.Continue Reading

Scientists at Stanford have unveiled the first-ever global map of rare earthquakes that rumble deep within Earth’s mantle rather than its crust. Long debated and notoriously difficult to confirm, these elusive quakes turn out to cluster in regions like the Himalayas and near the Bering Strait. By developing a breakthroughContinue Reading
