Chelmsford has produced many clever ideas over the years, but few arrive with the presence of the Encor Series 1. Half a century after the original Lotus Esprit stunned the crowds in Paris, Encor has brought its silhouette back into the spotlight.

Among the tricky carnivorous plants, great white shark-killing orca whales, and other remarkable flora and fauna that call South Africa home is a remarkable group of “living rocks.” Called microbialites, these communities are similar to coral reefs and are built up by microbes. These tiny living organisms absorb and release dissolved minerals into more solid rock-like forms. Microbialites are also some of the oldest evidence of life on Earth and can be found in layered, self-sustaining communities called microbial mats. New research recently published in the…

Designing a swarm of fully autonomous, submillimeter-sized robots sounds like an expensive, if not impossible task.

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) officially went into service above the Red Planet in November 2006. The spacecraft has since spent nearly 20 years circling Earth’s closest neighbor, studying its geology and identifying icy evidence of a once watery world. After already sending back more than 450 terabits of data over the course of its ongoing mission, the orbiter recently passed a major milestone: its 100,000th image of the Martian surface.

Bees are frequently associated with large queen-serving colonies featuring hundreds if not thousands of insects. In actuality, that’s usually not the case.“Most bees are solitary. They lay their eggs in small cavities, and they leave pollen for the larvae to eat,” explained paleontologist Lazasro Viñola López. “Some bee species burrow holes in wood or in the ground, or use empty structures for nests.” Viñola López, a researcher at Chicago’s Field Museum, added that some European and African species even construct nests inside vacant snail shells. That…

It’s hard to imagine a holiday season without Bing Crosby’s Christmas standard I’ll Be Home for Christmas. Originally written from the perspective of a soldier stationed overseas during World War II, his longing for the simple comforts of home and reconnecting with his loved ones at Christmas is almost palpable: “Please have snow and mistletoe and presents by the tree…” Mistletoe just inexplicably feels familiar. Every December, the evergreen sprigs that spent the offseason hidden in our subconscious are suddenly all around us. Mistletoe is the…
