Are These the Last Days of India’s...

August 3, 2021

By the time the film reels arrive, the sky has darkened and the carnival is bathed in fairy lights. They’re late and everyone is waiting. Carrying them in a jute sack over his shoulder, a harried assistant weaves his way through the crowded fairgrounds and rushes into the largest attraction around: a roomy tent where hundreds have gathered to their dose of cinema for the day.

This little annoyance didn’t deter intrepid investigators to uncover the birthplace of this fictional character. Piecing together background details of Scott and the 1960’s science fiction television program Star Trek, led fact-finders to a small town just north of Edinburgh, Scotland. Even though the aforementioned city, along with several other places, including Aberdeen and Elgin……

Mapping the cellular circuits behind spitting

August 3, 2021

For over a decade, researchers have known that the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans can detect and avoid short-wavelength light, despite lacking eyes and the light-absorbing molecules required for sight. As a graduate student in the Horvitz lab, Nikhil Bhatla proposed an explanation for this ability. He observed that light exposure not only made the worms wriggle away, but it also prompted them to stop eating. This clue led him to a series of studies that suggested that his squirming subjects weren’t seeing the light at……

Vapor-collection technology saves water while clearing the...

August 3, 2021

About two-fifths of all the water that gets withdrawn from lakes, rivers, and wells in the U.S. is used not for agriculture, drinking, or sanitation, but to cool the power plants that provide electricity from fossil fuels or nuclear power.
