But planting wind turbines willy-nilly without careful consideration might actually be counterproductive, a new study suggests. Scientists from Germany’s coastal researcher center, the… Continue reading Scientists Say That Building Too Many Wind Turbines Weakens the Wind’s Power
Scientists Say Arctic Ice Is Thinning Twice as Fast as We Thought
Experts are warning that the sea ice covering much of the Arctic appears to be thinning twice as previously thought, The Guardian reports.

Scientists Morph Human DNA Into Mosquito DNA Structure
Disabling one gene radically alters 3D chromosome structure. Loosening Up Researchers have uncovered a key way that human and mosquito DNA are structured differently from one another — and figured out how to morph each into the other opposite arrangement. Working independently at first, two teams of scientists realized two important things about genomic structure:… Continue reading Scientists Morph Human DNA Into Mosquito DNA Structure
