India’s dry woodland cover has expanded sharply over the past decade, but new satellite analysis shows that tree-cover gains do not always mean native forests are recovering. India appears to have dramatically expanded one of its most overlooked ecosystems over the past decade. A new study found that the country gained about 2.1 million hectares […]
Scientists Discover Why the Same Volcano Erupted in Two Completely Different Ways
Mount Etna’s past eruptions reveal that a single volcano can erupt through very different underground pathways. Volcanic plumbing systems can stretch deep underground and form highly complicated networks. Yet even within a single volcano, those internal pathways do not always operate the same way. A collaboration led by Cornell found that two historic eruptions of […]
Common Pesticide Alters Bumblebee Genes, Threatening Future Pollination
Scientists have uncovered molecular changes in bumblebees exposed to a common pesticide, revealing potential links between crop protection practices and pollinator health. Every bite of fruit, vegetable, or seed crop may owe something to a bee. Pollinators are responsible for helping many of the world’s food crops reproduce, making them a cornerstone of modern agriculture. […]

Scientists Translated Brain Signals Into Movies With Surprising Accuracy
Mouse brain activity was used to recreate 10-second videos, offering a new way to study how vision is represented in the brain. Scientists led by University College London (UCL) have reconstructed videos using only brain activity recorded from mice, allowing them to recreate what the animals were seeing. The findings, published in eLife, could help […]
Scientists Challenge a Fundamental Assumption About Consciousness
A new philosophical study challenges the idea that consciousness requires human-like biology. What if consciousness has nothing to do with flesh and blood? The possibility may sound like science fiction, but it is becoming an increasingly serious philosophical question as scientists search for alien life and artificial intelligence grows more sophisticated. A new analysis argues […]
