Fighting global warming and climate change requires a broad energy portfolio -- ScienceDaily

Can the continental United States make a rapid, reliable and low-cost transition to an energy system that relies almost exclusively on wind, solar and hydroelectric power? While there is growing excitement for this vision, a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences...

Spineless creature studied in DC swamp -- ScienceDaily

Its name is Stygobromus hayi, the Hay’s Spring amphipod. It is spineless. It lacks vision. It is an opportunistic feeder, consuming whatever resources are available — perhaps including the remains of its own kind.

That is where its similarities to some of Washington, D.C.’s...

Unusual soybean coloration sheds a light on gene silencing -- ScienceDaily

Today’s soybeans are typically golden yellow, with a tiny blackish mark where they attach to the pod. In a field of millions of beans, nearly all of them will have this look. Occasionally, however, a bean will turn up half-black, with a saddle pattern similar to a black-eyed...
