First-of-its-kind study shows that conservation actions are effective at halting and reversing biodiversity loss

A study published April 25, in the journal Science provides the strongest evidence to date that not only is nature conservation successful, but that scaling conservation interventions up would be transformational for halting ...

Merging nuclear physics experiments and astronomical observations to advance equation-of-state research

For most stars, neutron stars and black holes are their final resting places. When a supergiant star runs out of fuel, it expands and then rapidly collapses on itself. This act creates a neutron star—an object denser than ...
