The highly anticipated season two of Severance, released in weekly installments, has continued to draw interest among viewers around the world ..read more

Earth is crossing the threshold of 1.5°C of global warming, according to two major global studies which together suggest the planet's climate has likely entered a frightening new phase ..read more

A Victorian government decision to allow dingo culling in the state's east until 2028 has reignited debate over what has been dubbed Australia's most controversial animal ..read more

Devices that leverage quantum mechanics effects, broadly referred to as quantum technologies, could help to tackle some real-world problems faster and more efficiently. In recent years, physicists and engineers have introduced various promising quantum technologies, including so-called quantum sensors ..read more

How's your weekend? Have you read about the muscular neutrino? It's so great. This week, we also reported on male stick insects losing their reproductive function. Researchers are seeking cheaper approaches to creating a technology described by Scotty in "Star Trek IV." And physicists explored the creation of a singularity-free black hole through pure gravity. Additionally, although I don't want to swamp you with physics news, some theoreticians found evidence of two arrows of time in the quantum realm. And the complexity of birds' brains evolved independently from mammals ..read more

Crocodiles, monkeys, tigers, zebras and dozens of other taxidermy animals will move to new homes after concerns about arsenic exposure forced the closure of the South Dakota museum where they had been displayed for decades ..read more

Engineer turned social entrepreneur Sabri Cheriha hunches over a washing machine at a small depot in a suburb of Tunisia's capital, the unassuming home of a startup he launched to tackle the country's mounting electronic waste problem ..read more

A new Colorado State University study of the interior U.S. West has found that tree ranges are generally contracting in response to climate change but not expanding into cooler, wetter climates—suggesting that forests are not regenerating fast enough to keep pace with climate change, wildfire, insects and disease ..read more

From punch card-operated looms in the 1800s to modern cellphones, if an object has an "on" and an "off" state, it can be used to store information ..read more

In a paper published earlier this month in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside, showcases how new optical technology can extend the detection range of gravitational-wave observatories such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, and pave the way for future observatories ..read more
