Forget Cars, Green Hydrogen Will Supercharge Crops
In the dry, red dust of Western Australia’s vast Pilbara region, something green is growing. In October 2022, construction began on a massive solar photovoltaic and battery installation, around 40 soccer fields in size, that will soon power a 10-megawatt electrolyzer—a machine that uses electricity to convert water into hydrogen. But that hydrogen isn’t going to fuel cars or trucks or buses: It’s
The World’s Farms Are Hooked on Phosphorus. It’s a Problem
Disrupting Earth’s chemical cycles brings trouble. But planet-warming carbon dioxide isn’t the only element whose cycle we’ve turned wonky—we’ve got a phosphorus problem too. And it’s a big one, because we depend on this element to grow the world’s crops. “I don't know if it would be possible to have a full world without any mineral phosphorus fertilizer,” says Joséphine Demay, a PhD student at IN
Dear Electric Vehicle Owners: You Don’t Need That Giant Battery
When Hans Eric Melin thinks of battery waste, he imagines American driveways filled with electric vehicles. They look much like the gas-powered cars of yesterday, large and handsome and well-equipped: family-haulers, boat-towers, off-road ready. They also do things that those cars didn’t do, like go from zero to 60 in three seconds and travel 400 miles without emitting any carbon. The trade-off is
Humans Have Broken a Fundamental Law of the Ocean
The size of undersea creatures seemed to follow a strange but stable pattern—until industrial fishing came along. On November 19, 1969, the CSS Hudson slipped through the frigid waters of Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia and out into the open ocean. The research vessel was embarking on what many of the marine scientists on board thought of as the last great, uncharted oceanic voyage: The first compl
Voters Rejecting the War on Drugs Is a Win for Public Health
On Tuesday, several states passed ballot measures to relax drug laws. That's not just a criminal justice victory. On Tuesday, Washington, DC voted to decriminalize psilocybin, and Oregon’s voters approved two landmark reform measures—Measure 109, which legalizes psilocybin therapies, and Measure 110, which decriminalizes personal possession of drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and opioids
So How Wrong Were the Polls This Year, Really?
Pollsters spent four years preparing to better capture Trump support and avoid a repeat of 2016. Somehow, they missed it again. Going into Election Day, forecasters predicted a Joe Biden victory, but cautioned that Donald Trump still had a chance. Experts warned that the process of counting mail-in votes could take days or even weeks to finish, and that early vote totals in the Rust Belt states mi
