Hundreds of Never-Before-Seen Ancient ‘Earthworks’ Discovered in the Amazon
For hundreds of years, we told ourselves the same story about the Amazon: it was empty. Just endless jungle, too thick and too dangerous for anyone to have ever really lived there. Martti Pärssinen, an archaeologist at the University of Helsinki, wasn’t convinced. So he decided to check what was hiding under the trees. What…
Wildflower Strips Attract Beneficial Insects That Naturally Control Crop Pests
At first glance, Julian Gold’s decision makes little financial sense. Across his farm in Oxfordshire, England, vibrant strips of wildflowers cut through fields that could otherwise be producing valuable crops.

Scientists Build Underwater Habitat Where Humans Can Live Beneath the Ocean
For generations, the ocean has remained one of Earth’s greatest frontiers. It covers more than 70 percent of the planet, regulates the climate, supports countless species, and produces much of the oxygen humans breathe. Yet despite its importance, scientists have explored only a fraction of its vast depths. A newly installed underwater habitat in the…
Why Americas Water Crisis Is Closer Than Many People Think
For most Americans, turning on the kitchen tap is an act so ordinary it barely registers. Water arrives instantly, clean and reliable, with little thought given to where it comes from or how long it will last. That assumption has held true for generations, even in places that regularly battle drought. But along the Texas…
New York Just Became the First State to Halt Data Center Construction
Behind every AI search, cloud service and digital tool is a physical building filled with servers that consume enormous amounts of electricity and water. As companies race to build more of these facilities, New York has become the first state to impose a statewide pause on new hyperscale data centers. The move is not a…
