The weather is warming up, and that means, among other things, new birds are coming. The spring migration of birds into the Willamette Valley won’t peak until April or May, but it has definitely begun. This past week, Benton County birders spotted five new species for the year: common yellowthroat, northern rough-winged swallows, purple martin,…

Today, the mainstream scientific consensus is that gender and sexuality exist on a spectrum throughout nature, but that hasn’t always been the view. In Fluid: Life Beyond the Binary, a documentary from The Nature of Things, historian Jules Gill-Peterson and host Mae Martin look back on several milestones in the flawed (but still influential) history…

Incorporating research in engineering and industry, as well more fundamental science, is central to Nature Electronics. Since Nature Electronics launched in January 2018, it has aimed to reflect the full range of research in the field of electronics1. This has meant incorporating the work of scientists, including physicists, chemists, nanotechnologists and materials scientists. It has…

The natural world is full of gender diversity: female hyenas have pseudo penises used for sex and urination, many species of fish and plants change their sex over their lifespan, and female lions have been known to grow manes and develop a masculine growl. Those are among many examples in a new episode of CBC’s The Nature…

Higher accuracy atomic clocks, such as the “tweezer clock” depicted here, could result from linking or “entangling” atoms in a new way through a method known as “spin squeezing,” in which one property of an atom is measured more precisely than is usually allowed in quantum mechanics by decreasing the precision in which a complementary…
