Motionless in White are a week out from their latest studio album, and they’re now sharing the crushing title track from their upcoming Scoring the End of the World album. And the song features a guest turn from someone who knows a thing or two about scoring, as renowned video game composer Mick Gordon (Doom, Wolfenstein, Prey) lends his talents to the track.Given Motionless in White’s sound and Gordon’s background, this pairing comes up with a song that is supremely epic. A crushingly brutal wall of synths is offset by melodic and at times soaring vocals that uplift and motivate…

The December 2014 North American Storm Complex was a powerful winter storm, referred to by some as California’s “Storm of the Decade.” Fueled by an atmospheric river originating over the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean, the storm dropped 8 inches of rainfall in 24 hours, sported wind gusts of 139 miles per hour, and left 150,000 households without power across the San Francisco Bay Area. Writing in Weather and Climate Extremes this week, researchers described the potential impacts of climate change on extreme storms in the San Francisco Bay area, among them the December 2014 North American Storm Complex.…

Credit: Shutterstock Reproduction is the ultimate goal in life for most animals, but securing a mate is hard work. You must not only find a potential suitor, but hold their attention, identify yourself, and advertise your quality. To achieve this, animals use “sexual signals.” These conspicuous displays or ornaments help beat out the competition in the contest for mates. And some of the most beautiful aspects of the animal world have evolved for this purpose. Sexual signals are costly, though, and not just in terms of the energy it takes to sing or dance. One seemingly obvious and profound cost…

As sessile organisms, plants have to continually adapt their growth and architecture to the ever-changing environment. To do so, plants have evolved distinct molecular mechanisms to sense and respond to the environment and integrate the signals from outside with endogenous developmental programs. New research from Nitzan Shabek’s laboratory at the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences, published in Nature Plants, unravels the underlying mechanism of protein targeting and destruction in a specific plant hormone signaling pathway. “Our lab aims at deciphering sensing mechanisms in plants and understanding how specific enzymes function can be regulated at the molecular levels” said Shabek,…

by Elizabeth Sinclair, Gary Kendrick, Jane Edgeloe and Martin Breed, The Conversation Credit: Rachel Austin, Author provided Next time you go diving or snorkeling, have a close look at those wondrously long, bright green ribbons waving with the ebb and flow of water. They are seagrasses—marine plants which produce flowers, fruit, and seedlings annually, like their land-based relatives. These underwater seagrass meadows grow in two ways: by sexual reproduction, which helps them generate new gene combinations and genetic diversity, and also by extending their rhizomes, the underground stems from which roots and shoots emerge. To find out how many different…
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock while living in the UK the past few months, you’re probably aware that in less than two weeks’ time, the queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations will be kicking off. Not only does this mean an extra-long bank holiday weekend for most of us (thank you, Your Majesty), but it also comes with the promise of plenty of that patriotic conviviality—the kind only royal occasions can bring. Remember the buzz around the weddings? I’m imagining that level and more. Whether you’re a fan of the royal family or not, it’s going to be hard to ignore the…
