Hidden beneath Arctic waters, beluga whales have long kept their family lives a mystery. By analyzing DNA from more than 600 belugas in Alaska’s Bristol Bay over 13 years, researchers uncovered a surprisingly flexible mating system: both males and females regularly have offspring with different partners over their lifetimes., ReadContinue Reading
Regulators insist they’re committed to protecting health and the environment, yet continue to allow growers to use a deadly chemical banned in 40 countries. By Liza Gross California regulators passed a rule in January 2024 that they said would protect communities from one of the state’s most popular, and dangerous,Continue Reading

To improve data center efficiency, multiple storage devices are often pooled together over a network so many applications can share them. But even with pooling, significant device capacity remains underutilized due to performance variability across the devices. MIT researchers have now developed a system that boosts the performance of storageContinue Reading
Former crew members report egregious environmental destruction and labor abuses onboard shadowy squid fishing fleets, due to a regulatory vacuum. By Johnny Sturgeon While their dazzling bright lights are visible from space, much of the global squid fleet operates in total darkness. Continue Reading
Researchers discovered a way to reverse the direction of energy flow in turbulence, challenging a theory that has stood for more than 80 years. The finding could open new possibilities for controlling ocean currents, improving medical technologies, and enhancing climate forecasting., Read MoreContinue Reading
