Seeing the north coast of Peru for the first time, you would be hard-pressed to believe it’s one of the driest deserts in the world. Parts of the region receive less than an inch of rain in an entire year. Yet, water and greenery are everywhere. This is the nation’s agro-industrial heartland, and, thanks to irrigation canals, almost every inch of the floodplain is blanketed in lucrative export crops, such as sugarcane, asparagus and blueberries. However, the apparent success of this system mas

What are ocean scientists doing to employ iron fertilization? In the 1990s and early 2000s, a series of experiments tested iron fertilization in the open ocean. These tests consistently found that adding iron led to phytoplankton blooms, However, the extent to which that carbon sank to the depths wasn’t always measured, and the phytoplankton were not able to use all of the iron for growth before the mineral sank. Researchers did document changes in phytoplankton communities, with diatoms becom

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta just made a huge mistake. Or more accurately, a bunch of huge mistakes, which have drawn the wrath of lawyers for Meta's peers Apple, Google, and Snapchat.

One way, caused by tidal friction, produces an extremely slow secular change in rotation.

Given how much we obsess over it, the concept of creativity can feel like something that has always existed, a thing philosophers and artists have pondered and debated throughout the ages. While it’s a reasonable assumption, it’s one that turns out to be very wrong. As Samuel Franklin explains in his recent book, The Cult of Creativity, the first known written use of creativity didn’t actually occur until 1875, “making it an infant as far as words go.” What’s more, he writes, before about 1950,
