Memorial Day began as a day to commemorate the Civil War dead, then became a day to commemorate the dead from many wars. But war’s toll goes beyond direct harm to humans. The environment also suffers. On top of its human tragedies, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is also wreaking environmental havoc. One source of concern involves destruction of industrial plants.

Astronomers have made the first observations of X-rays being emitted from a white-dwarf star that has burst into life while stripping material from a companion star. The process caused a thermonuclear runaway that resulted in a massive explosion or nova.

Learning how to drive can be an interesting experience. I remember learning how to reverse and drive off along an estate road with steep gradient. The space between the houses was also so economical. This meant that reversing the car out of my house would bring it very close to the opposite house. If you’re not careful to engage the drive gear after reversal, you just might easily hit the opposite house.

When a forest loses its trees, it also loses its identity as a forest (as well as creating an ecological disaster). Similarly, quantum theory would be a different beast altogether without the defining effects of superposition and entanglement. However, the converse is not necessarily true. The two physical effects can be observed independently of the theoretical framework used to explain them, and an international team of researchers has now shown that the connection between them does not hinge

By Mischa Dijkstra, Frontiers science writer. A randomized controlled trial shows for the first time that for physical exercise, the time of day affects its effectiveness. Whether morning or evening exercise is more effective depends on type of exercise and training objectives, and differs between women and men. But even when time of day isn’t taken into account, the new multimodal weekly exercise program presented here improves health and performance for both sexes.
