Critics say the complexes will boost gas demand and fracking-related pollution. By Jon Hurdle Amid a national flight over data centers, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is trying to welcome the economic growth they bring while suggesting ways to protect consumers from soaring electricity costs. Continue Reading
Plants make chemical weapons to protect themselves, and many of these compounds have become vital to human medicine. Researchers found that one powerful plant chemical is produced using a gene that looks surprisingly bacterial. This suggests plants reuse microbial tools to invent new chemistry. The insight could help scientists discoverContinue Reading
