Researchers are finding that when pulverized rock is applied to agricultural fields, the soil pulls far more carbon from the air and crop yields increase. More studies are underway, but some scientists say this method shows significant benefits for farmers and the climate. Read more on E360 ?.

The Trump Administration’s bungling of the coronavirus pandemic surely should feature in management textbooks. Just about everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Some of the problems derived from having a top manager who was fundamentally indifferent and seemingly incapable of grasping basic facts. But other problems were due to inability to manage the organizational response.

Communities of color on Virginia’s coastline are disproportionately affected by sewage disruptions. New legislation in North Carolina could fast track a farm project that environmentalists say supports obsolete waste management practices that cause air and water pollution.

The link between science and policy has never been clearer. Science continues to help shape the government’s response to COVID-19, its current and future decisions regarding the climate crisis, and standards for education, nutrition, and wages. When the government needs to know how to tackle our toughest challenges, it should reliably look to science.

Describing how matter behaves at the quantum-mechanical level is notoriously hard, because the equations get so difficult to solve once there is more than a handful of particles involved. But a new experiment shows that the fine details might not matter too much – and that, if we “squint” at a many-particle quantum system to blur them, how the system changes over time can look surprisingly like the familiar classical process of diffusion.

Early in my teaching career, I had a rather uncomfortable exchange with a retired physicist. He challenged me to defend the A-level physics curriculum, which he thought had been “dumbed down” and lacked any solid, mathematical rigour. I regret not putting my thoughts across better at the time, but – with the benefit of almost 15 years teaching experience behind me – I now feel more prepared to respond.

Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in newborn babies, caused by the build-up of bilirubin in the blood. While the majority of babies will recover naturally, if extremely high blood bilirubin levels are left untreated, there’s a small risk that the bilirubin could pass into the brain and cause brain damage. Such cases are usually treated using phototherapy, in which blue light shone onto the skin reduces the bilirubin values to safer levels.
