While we sleep this spring, billions of birds will be flying through the night from their wintering grounds to their breeding territories. Bird migration is a mind-bendingly astonishing phenomenon: these tiny creatures fly thousands of kilometers with enough precision to return to the same nesting site year after year. They use three types of compass, guided by the stars, sun and, most mysteriously, Earth’s magnetic field. In this issue’s cover story, scientists Peter J. Hore and Henrik Mouritsen explain how some birds are able to “see” Earth’s magnetic field using quantum effects in exquisitely photosensitive molecules in their eyes. We…

The following post contains SPOILERS for the ending of Morbius.If you went to see Morbius because the trailers promised you that Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes was going to show up and have some kind of super-villain team-up with Jared Leto’s Morbius, we hope you at least stayed through the closing credits.

San Diego looked very different back in the Eocene epoch, from about 56 million to 34 million years ago. The area’s now arid climate was warmer and more humid, its lush subtropical forests teeming with primates and marsupials. Now a recently examined fossil adds another creature to the list: a new species of saber-toothed predator. The fossil—the lower jaw of a catlike mammal—was found in 1988 at a construction site in Oceanside, Calif. Researchers who newly studied it using modern techniques found that it belonged to a previously unknown machaeroidine, or member of the rare subfamily Machaeroidinae, a group including…
Imagine you are a young Bar-tailed Godwit, a large, leggy shorebird with a long, probing bill hatched on the tundra of Alaska. As the days become shorter and the icy winter looms, you feel the urge to embark on one of the most impressive migrations on Earth: a nonstop transequatorial flight lasting at least seven days and nights across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand 12,000 kilometers away. It’s do or die. Every year tens of thousands of Bar-tailed Godwits complete this journey successfully. Billions of other young birds, including warblers and flycatchers, terns and sandpipers, set out on similarly…

In Dhar-el-Jebel, a migrant detention center deep in Libya’s Nafusa Mountains, detainees sang and recorded a song on a smartphone. The year was 2019, and deaths—from poor conditions, a lack of food, and medical neglect—had become as frequent as one every fortnight. “We have made an engagement with death,” they sang. “So pray for us before the wedding comes.”The video topped 106,000 views on YouTube. Most of these hundreds of refugees and migrants, locked up indefinitely, had been caught on the Mediterranean Sea trying to reach Europe. They were part of the almost 90,000 refugees and migrants seized and forcibly returned…
Mike Dean is sorry for “f—ing trolling” BTS after he seemed to take out his anger on the K-pop group for losing out on the album of the year Grammy.

But its parent album Donda, which he co-produced, didn’t win album of the year, and he felt some type of way about it.

The antiviral therapies remdesivir, molnupiravir, and the active ingredient in Pfizer’s Paxlovid pill (nirmatrelvir), remain effective in laboratory tests against the BA.2 variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The BA.2 variant also remains susceptible to at least some of the monoclonal antibodies used to treat COVID-19, such as Evusheld by AstraZeneca. However, the antibodies etesevimab and bamlanivmab, which are used together as a single treatment, were not able to neutralize the BA.2 virus at common dosages in these lab tests. Other antibody treatments were less effective against BA.2 than they are against earlier strains of SARS-COV-2. These results…

In 2020, Microsoft decided it wanted to be “carbon negative” by the end of the decade—to remove more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere than it produces. That first year, it started on the right foot; emissions fell 6 percent. But in 2021, the pandemic had a strange side effect. The company’s Xbox One X was selling in droves, and stuck-at-home gamers played a lot more than they ordinarily would. That affected Microsoft’s bottom line—for carbon. The company estimates the console produces about 1,600 pounds of carbon emissions over its lifetime—some of that from the process of making the machine, but…

One of the important functions of a river is to remove some of the pollution that can end up in the water, like lawn fertilizers and harmful bacteria, before that water reaches sensitive downstream ecosystems such as estuaries and oceans. Research from the University of New Hampshire found that watershed size plays a major role in a river network’s ability to do this work. The findings further the understanding of which estuaries and coastal areas will be more impacted by human development in their watersheds and also casts a light on the intricacies of the global carbon cycle. “Just like…
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to take this 360-degree panorama on March 23, 2022, the 3,423th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The team has informally described the wind-sharpened rocks seen here as “gator-back” rocks because of their scaly appearance. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover spent most of March climbing the “Greenheugh Pediment”—a gentle slope capped by rubbly sandstone. The rover briefly summited this feature’s north face two years ago; now on the pediment’s southern side, Curiosity has navigated back onto the pediment to explore it more fully. But on March 18, the…
