The world may be closer to its 30% land conservation goal, but gaps in grassland and shrubland protection show why acreage alone cannot safeguard wildlife. Some areas that support wildlife appear in national conservation records but are missing from the global tally. Including them could bring the share of land in some form of conservation […]

The DNA that traces Hawaii’s settlement also points to overlooked disease risks, with some globally rare variants common enough among Eastern Polynesians to warrant screening. Hawaii and Easter Island lie about 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) apart, roughly the distance from San Francisco to Lima, Peru. New genetic evidence suggests that ancient sailors from the Easter […]

Tiny flaws in crystals could become building blocks for quantum sensors, and scientists can now better predict how these imperfections lose energy. A laser can excite electrons at a tiny flaw in diamond or silicon carbide, but the energy does not always return as light. As the defect relaxes toward its lowest-energy, or ground, state, […]

A star’s color usually reflects its temperature, but white dwarfs can break that pattern, with models revealing unexpected shades of green, pink, and purple. A star that has drawn in rocky debris from its planetary system would appear chartreuse green to the human eye, according to new calculations by University of Warwick astronomers. As far […]

The promise of an experimental treatment for C. difficile gut infections lies partly in the bacteria it leaves alive, according to early laboratory and mouse research. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can disrupt the gut’s microbial community, allowing a bacterium already living there to multiply unchecked. Clostridioides difficile, or C. difficile, is naturally present in the intestines of […]
