Does anyone actually understand quantum physics?
We asked six physicists why they’re still arguing after 100 years of quantum mechanics

Gene turnover and contingency facilitated the repeated evolution of C4 photosynthesis in grasses
In grasses, almost all species belong to two evenly sized clades (BOP and PACMAD), yet the >20 independent origins of C4 photosynthesis in this family only occur in the PACMAD lineage. Here, we identi...

Widely detected in global waterways, clobazam—a common drug used to treat anxiety—is altering the migration behavior of wild Atlantic salmon, according to a new Science study.

Pharmaceutical pollution influences river-to-sea migration in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Despite the growing threat of pharmaceutical pollution, we lack an understanding of whether and how such pollutants influence animal behavior in the wild. Using laboratory- and field-based experiments...

‘De-extinction’ of dire wolves promotes false hope: technology can’t undo extinction
Claims of ‘bringing back’ any species take away focus from proven solutions that can actually fix the extinction crisis.
