Only a quarter of the seafloor is mapped to modern standards. A fleet of autonomous vessels is closing the gap — and rewriting the maps on which everything from cables to conservation depends.
Every professional club now runs on expected goals and tracking data — and the analytics have quietly rewritten recruitment, tactics and even the transfer market's prices.
Gene editing's first approved treatments were celebrated — and expensive. The new long-term data answers the questions the approval headlines couldn't.
Record audiences, franchise fees rising tenfold and sponsors discovering a market that was there all along. The state of the fastest-growing property in sport.
Every year adds thousands of sequenced ancient genomes. The story they tell — of repeated mass movements, plagues and population turnovers — keeps overturning settled history.
The record has fallen in record conditions, in magic shoes, on pace-lit courses. What physiology, engineering and course design have learned about 42.195 kilometres.
The arXiv preprint making headlines is bold, early and unverified. A reader's guide to extraordinary claims — in physics and everywhere else.
Districts built gaming labs expecting a distraction magnet. Instead they got a new pipeline to college scholarships — and a generation of students learning teamwork in lobbies.
A new survey instrument is finding planets faster than astronomers can write them up. What a million-candidate sky means for the search for habitable worlds.
Two demonstration reactors under construction will tell the decade's story. A status report on the machines that must turn physics into power plants.
The same players, three surfaces, three different games. The materials science behind grass, clay and hard courts — and why the calendar is built around their differences.
