Optical tweezers have been used by biophysicists since their invention at Bell Labs in the 1980s, and are typically used to study cellular components. But they have a few drawbacks, not least of which are overheating and inefficiency. So engineers at Harvard have been working on a next-gen model they call plasmonic nan...

To the Editor, The United States is on the brink of a fire crisis. New lightweight construction methods and materials are making it harder and more dangerous for firefighters to safely extinguish blazes and for occupants to escape safely. It’s estimated that most homes built within the past 20 years contain these dange...

There has always been a lot of arguing over “organic” and “natural” foods. Recently, the brunt of this arguing came after a Stanford study that questioned the advantages of organic meat and produce. The study brought up a number of points, concluding that although organic foods are no more nutritious, they have less co...

New research finds that an adjustment to wind turbines could allow bats and wind power generation to better co-exist. Writing in in the Journal of Wildlife Management, biologists report that that slowing turbine blades to near motionless in low-wind periods significantly reduces the number of bat deaths.

Over the past year, I’ve been doing a lot of talking about reproducible research. Talking to people, talking on panel discussions, and talking about some of my own work. It seems to me that interest in the topic has exploded recently, in part due to some recent scandals, such as the Duke clinical trials fiasco. If you ...

Looks can deceive… A South American sabertooth-lookalike, Thylacosmilus was in fact a marsupial – at roughly the size of a jaguar, one of the largest marsupial carnivores.
