Urban rodents may be evolving genetic defenses against widely used control methods. A mouse that eats poison and survives does more than escape a trap. It may pass that survival advantage to the next generation. That possibility is becoming increasingly relevant in cities across the northeastern United States, where pest control professionals have reported that […]
The Strange Force That Could Slow Interstellar Solar Sails
Solar sails may encounter drag from light itself as they approach a significant fraction of the speed. Getting a spacecraft to another star is not simply a matter of building a bigger rocket. Chemical propulsion is far too slow for interstellar travel on practical timescales, which is why many mission concepts turn to light itself […]
