Boreal Forest Clearcut Limit Found
The first time researchers tried to measure how much forest could be cut without destroying bird life, they expected a simple answer. They wanted a single number, a percentage that managers could apply across the entire...

Branched nanowires boost LED efficiency
From orbit, the nighttime glow of cities is unmistakable. Those lights, however, waste a significant portion of their energy as heat before a single photon reaches a human eye. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden...

Leg Muscle Mitochondria Injection Shows Promise for Treating Blindness
For decades, the medical world treated the eye as an isolated organ, a delicate sphere walled off from the rest of the body. When the retina failed, doctors looked only at the eye itself, searching for solutions within...

D-Shaped Magnets Could Transform Fusion Energy
Inside a double height room in Devens, Massachusetts, about a dozen technicians move with quiet purpose. Hard hats and protective clothing are the uniform of the day. Some workers check pipes rising through the floor...

Daylighting Buried Urban Streams for Flood Resilience
For over a century, urban engineers treated streams as obstacles. When a river blocked a street grid, the standard solution was to enclose it in pipes and culverts, burying the waterway beneath concrete and asphalt....

Quantum computing success hinges on service model not hardware
The race for quantum supremacy has long been framed as a hardware contest. Companies compete fiercely over qubit counts and error rates, each claiming their architecture annealing, trapped ion, superconducting will...
