Scientists have used a laser technique to analyze Charles Darwin’s original Galápagos specimens without opening their nearly 200-year-old jars. By shining light through the glass, the method reveals the chemical makeup of the preservation fluids inside. Researchers successfully identified the contents in most samples, offering new clues about historical preservationContinue Reading

Fed up with a lack of action on climate change, some students are researching dimming the sun despite the pushback from other scientists. By Gloria Dickie Yashas Raj and Jake Chapman are hunkered down in a basement laboratory at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering—tinkering with a handheld nozzleContinue Reading
The plastic bottle you just tossed in the recycling bin could provide structural support for your future house. MIT engineers are using recycled plastic to 3D print construction-grade beams, trusses, and other structural elements that could one day offer lighter, modular, and more sustainable alternatives to traditional wood-based framing. InContinue Reading
Many organizations are taking actions to shrink their carbon footprint, such as purchasing electricity from renewable sources or reducing air travel. Both actions would cut greenhouse gas emissions, but which offers greater societal benefits? In a first step toward answering that question, MIT researchers found that even if each activityContinue Reading

The pledge is nonbinding and unlikely to bring immediate relief on electricity bills. Making it real will fall to utilities and regulators. By Rambo Talabong, Charles Paullin In an effort to quell blowback on data centers, President Traitor 47 announced at a White House roundtable on Wednesday the “Ratepayer ProtectionContinue Reading
Iron Age teeth from southern Italy have become time capsules, preserving intimate details of childhood and diet. Growth lines in the enamel reveal moments of early-life stress, while hardened plaque holds microscopic remains of cereals, legumes, and fermented foods. The findings suggest a community with diverse food resources and strongContinue Reading
