Fig trees may be especially good at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphereRaimund Linke/mauritius images GmbH/Alamy Some fig trees can convert surprisingly large amounts of carbon dioxide into stone, ensuring that the carbon remains in the soil long after the tree has died. This means that fig trees planted for forestry or their fruit could offer additional climate benefits through this carbon-sequestration process. All trees take up CO2 from the air, and most of that carbon typically ends up as structural molecules used to build the plant, such as cellulose. Some trees, however, convert CO2 into a crystal compound called…

Despite brief oases, Mars was likely doomed to be a desert planet, a new study suggests. Why is Mars barren and uninhabitable, while life has always thrived here on our relatively similar planet Earth? A discovery made by a NASA rover has offered a clue for this mystery, new research said Wednesday, suggesting that while rivers once sporadically flowed on Mars, it was doomed to mostly be a desert planet. Mars is thought to currently have all the necessary ingredients for life except for perhaps the most important one: liquid water. However, the red surface is carved out by ancient…

The great wait is over. After 16 years away, Oasis are back together onstage. “The stars have aligned,” they wrote in their announcement back in August 2024, which sent the U.K. — and the world — into a frenzy. “Come see,” they added, for this miracle “will not be televised.” It was Cardiff, Wales, that emerged as the city lucky to be chosen for opening night, their first live concert since August 2009. The last time Noel and Liam Gallagher were in a stadium together, a fight erupted and the former called time on the band. On Friday night (July…

Confession: Until this year, I’d never shopped at Everlane or even stepped foot into one of its stores. I’d always heard it was known for creating elevated wardrobe basics, but something never quite drew me in—until I was invited to the SoHo boutique for a sneak peek of its summer collection.Curious to see what shoppers could expect for the upcoming warm-weather season, I browsed through the racks of Everlane’s latest offerings: everyday denim, easy one-and-done dresses, breezy skirts, versatile button-down blouses, and trendy Bermuda shorts. I couldn’t help but touch each piece, and with every item, I grew more excited…

Cruise robotaxis are back on the road… well, kind of. Though General Motors pulled the plug on its self-driving taxi business last year, the automaker has been quietly repurposing a few of the vehicles as it seeks to develop new driver-assistance technologies.This week, WIRED spotted a GM Bolt electric hatchback on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and later saw a similar vehicle on Interstate 880 near Oakland. In each instance, the car was being driven by a human. But it held equipment on the roof such as lidar sensors that resembled the setup from the Cruise ride-hailing system. The vehicle…

Parts of an IBM quantum computer on displayANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images A quantum computer and conventional supercomputer that work together could become an invaluable tool for understanding chemicals. A collaboration between IBM and the Japanese scientific institute RIKEN has now established one path to getting there. Predicting what a molecule will do within a reaction – for instance, as part of a medical treatment or an industrial catalyst – often hinges on understanding its electrons’ quantum states. Quantum computers could accelerate the process of computing these states, but in their current form, they are still prone to errors. Conventional…

Why can’t there be world peace? Because every great nation wants to be on top. That means China, Russia, and the USA are battling to be the number one nation on earth. Why? Because biology has built something strange into us: the pecking order, the social totem pole, the ladder of status, what scientists call the “dominance hierarchy.” And the dominance hierarchy is built into our biology. How do we know that? On the evolutionary timeline, we parted from lobsters, lizards and birds as long as six hundred million years ago. But lobsters, lizards, and birds have dominance hierarchies. Which hints that we all may have inherited…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Attie’s Amazing Adventures: Blueprints & Buried Truths? I’m a mix of farm girl grit and city girl spark, and for years, friends told me I should write my biography. Many of my real-life adventures, inventions, mistakes, and significant “aha” moments are woven into the CHARMS Book Series. Of course, it’s fiction… so unless you really know me, you’ll never quite be able to tell what’s true and what’s made up (and I’m not telling). I created this series for the smart girls, the curious ones, the kids who like…
