Plants can't absorb as much CO2 as climate models predicted
High levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major driver of climate change. At the same time, increased CO2 can encourage plants to grow faster, allowing them to absorb more carbon and potentially slow warming.

A missing flash of light revealed a molecular secret
Liquids and solutions may seem simple, but at the molecular level they are constantly in motion. When sugar dissolves in water, for example, each sugar molecule is quickly surrounded by shifting clusters of water molecules.

The hidden timing system that shapes how you think
The human brain is always at work, handling information that arrives on very different timelines. Some signals demand instant reactions to changes in the environment, while others unfold more slowly as we interpret meaning, context, or intent.
