As the world heats up, and the climate shifts, life will migrate, adapt or go extinct. For decades, scientists have deployed a specific method to predict how a species will fare during this time of great change. But according to new research, that method might be producing results that are misleading or wrong. University of Arizona researchers and their team members at the U.S. Forest Service and Brown University found that the method — commonly referred to as space-for-time substitution — failed to accurately predict how a widespread tree of the Western U.S. called the ponderosa pine has actually responded…

Others take the day to recuperate from all the Christmas madness after all the festive cooking and preparing. But December 26 hasn’t always just been about football matches and eating leftovers of Christmas dinner, as over the years new traditions have evolved. Why is Boxing Day called Boxing Day? Do you know anymore history behind the Boxing Day name? (Image: Getty) Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with the boxing sport. Instead, it’s thought the name came from when Queen Victoria was on the throne. “In Victorian times, the wealthy would box up items they no longer…

These images of asteroid Apophis were recorded in March 2021 by radio antennas at the Deep Space Network’s Goldstone complex in California and the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. The asteroid was 10.6 million miles (17 million kilometers) away, and each pixel has a resolution of 127 feet (38.75 meters). Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech and NSF/AUI/GBO The former OSIRIS-REx spacecraft sets off on a journey to study asteroid Apophis and take advantage of the asteroid’s 2029 flyby of Earth, the likes of which hasn’t happened since the dawn of recorded history. At the end of a long-haul road trip, it might…

X-ray imaging visualizes hidden structures and processes in living cells and organisms. The radiation that consists of highly energy-rich electromagnetic waves, however, has an ionizing effect and may damage the genetic material. This limits the possible observation period. While conventional X-ray images of soft tissue are of low contrast, phase contrast methods produce far better image contrasts at a reduced radiation dose. With higher resolution, however, gentle imaging becomes increasingly difficult, as a higher dose is required. Moreover, the efficiency of the usually applied high-resolution detectors decreases, as a result of which radiation exposure is further increased. So far, high-resolution…
