The completed Champlain Hudson Power Express brings a significant influx of cleaner energy to the city’s electric grid, which is mostly powered by fossil fuels.
Evidence is growing from rodent studies that sperm carries marks of a father’s life experiences, influencing traits in offspring. Bits of RNA could be the drivers of these epigenetic effects.
Geothermal energy — long limited to volcanic hot spots — may be poised to become a major, always-on clean power source thanks to next-generation drilling and rock-fracturing technologies. A new analysis suggests it could replace a huge share of fossil-fuel electricity in Europe while doubling as a grid-scale heat battery for the renewable era.
Can the feel of what’s under your feet really sharpen your focus, or is the effect mostly in your head? Neuroscience unpacks how sensory signals from shoes travel to the brain—and why marketing claims of “mind-activating” footwear may be overstated.
They race, they leap, they spin, they shoot. Meet the organisms for whom physical prowess is more than sport — it’s a matter of life and death.

Arabidopsis thaliana was always an unlikely candidate for the limelight. But 25 years ago, the diminutive thale cress launched the botanical world into the molecular era.
As other climate campaigns go on the defensive, a new Third Act campaign aims to remove local and state-level barriers to solar energy.
Insects that tuck away wings; a protist with an accordion-like neck — studying these clever creases may inspire foldable structures for drones
