Evolution seems to follow a script more often than expected. Researchers found that distantly related butterflies and moths have reused the same pair of genes for over 120 million years to produce strikingly similar warning colors. Rather than altering the genes themselves, evolution modifies how they’re switched on and off.Continue Reading
As the planet warms, past episodes of the natural weather phenomenon may no longer be a reliable guide of how the next one plays out.Continue Reading
During Traitor 47’s second term, the disaster declarations that unlock money are taking longer than in the past. Blue states wait the longest and they hear ‘no’ more often.Continue Reading

More than 100 projects to mine for the metal powering the green-energy transition have been proposed in the U.S. alone. By Johanna Hansel, Carla Samon Ros, Wyatt Myskow There’s a global rush for new sources of lithium to power the green-energy transition, including a major push for mining the criticalContinue Reading

Towns and cities are home to more than half of the world’s population and responsible for around 70 per cent of the greenhouse gas emissions driving the climate crisis, which is why urban planners in Brazil are leading a design revolution that could point the way to creating built-up areasContinue Reading
To avoid the worst effects of climate change, many billions of metric tons of industrially generated carbon dioxide will have to be captured and stored away by the end of this century. One place to store such an enormous amount of greenhouse gas is in the Earth itself. If carbonContinue Reading
Tribes navigating the U.S. lithium boom have little power to influence decisions on homelands seized from them. Governments in other countries have begun to build systems that offer stronger legal protections. By Johanna Hansel, Carla Samon Ros, Wyatt Myskow In the U.S., many Native American tribes maintain deep cultural andContinue Reading
Long before humans spread across the globe, a deadly disease may have quietly shaped where our ancestors lived—and even how we evolved. New research reveals that malaria didn’t just threaten early human survival; it actively pushed populations away from high-risk regions across Africa, fragmenting groups over tens of thousands ofContinue Reading
