Sting blends charisma, intellect and sonic sophistication on tour: Concert review OXON HILL, Md. – As we well know, Sting can front a trio quite capably. He’s toured with large bands – such as last summer’s team on his My Songs outing – well-primed quartets and, in 2018, his unlikely buddy Shaggy. Of course, Sting’s

What makes Mexican jumping beans jump? Research reveals that Mexican jumping bean larvae respond to different colors of light, jumping more vigorously under different hues, which can help them avoid potentially dangerous temperatures. However, when their 'bean' hosts are damaged, larvae find it much harder to jump away from stressors. What makes Mexican jumping beans
Each year millions of Pacific salmon make a grand journey from the ocean to their freshwater spawning grounds at the end of their life cycles. This migration has rippling effects through food webs and ecosystems along the way. Whether they decompose or are consumed by other animals, these salmon deliver both nutrients and contaminants they
Stressed bees are much more likely to make pessimistic choices and lack a buzz in life. Stressed bees are much more likely to make pessimistic choices and lack a buzz in life, new research has revealed. Scientists at Newcastle University, UK, have found that bumblebees have a response to an adverse event resembling human emotions.

From Tasmania to Madagascar to New Guinea, islands make up just over five per cent of Earth's land yet are home to 31 per cent of the world's plant species. A new study shows that of all plants classified as threatened worldwide, more than half are unique to islands, facing risks from habitat loss, climate
Marine heatwaves and cold spells are occurring both on the ocean surface and below, with ocean currents influencing their frequency. While marine heatwaves (MHWs) have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade, new research published today in Nature has found 80 per cent of MHWs below 100 metres are independent of
Quantum physicists have tapped into a kind of ghostly interaction, known as entanglement, to improve the precision of optical atomic clocks, which measure time through the natural 'ticking' of atoms. Imagine walking into a room where several different grandfather clocks hang on the walls, each ticking at a different pace. Quantum physicists at the University
