The search for dark matter â € “ an unknown and invisible substance thought to make up the vast majority of matter in the universe â € “ is at a crossroads. Although it was proposed nearly 70 years ago and has been searched for intensely - with large particle colliders, detectors deep underground and even instruments in space â € “ it is still nowhere to be found.But astronomers have promised to leave â Read More
Advances in gene editing over the past decade have given scientists new tools to tailor the biochemistry of nearly any living thing with great precision. Because the biosphere—including trees, crops, livestock, and every other organisms—is a major source and sink for greenhouse gases (GHGs), these tools have profound implications for climate change. Gene editing is unlocking new ways to enhanc Read More
