As environmental law becomes more concerned with the equity of policy outcomes, income-targeted policy elements are becoming more and more common. This should be a good thing: income is closely correlated with pollution exposure, so income targeting can also ensure that programs reach the people who suffer the most from environmental degradation. (The same considerations apply to race and racial inequality , but environmental policies have not taken up racial disparities to the same degree.).

A new technique allowing lasers to manipulate the energy and phase of electrons in electron microscopes has been unveiled by researchers in Germany and Switzerland. The technique opens up new potential applications in electron spectroscopy and could be used in the future to generate electron-photon entanglement. Developed in the 1930s, electron microscopy is arguably the most important technology we have for studying matter on the atomic scale.

Ungulates place immense consumptive pressure on forest vegetation globally, leaving legacies of reduced biodiversity and simplified vegetative structure. In their latest research, Samuel Reed and colleagues sought to determine whether browse-induced changes occurring early in succession ultimately manifest themselves in the developed forest canopy. Herbivores are incredibly influential around the world and can re-shape entire ecosystems over time.
