Powerful physics tool could help scientists understand complex ecosystems
Your gut is home to microbial madness. Hundreds of trillions of bacteria belonging to countless species interact with one another in complex ways that can both keep you healthy and
cause disease
. Teasing out these interactions would seem an impossible task.
Now, microbiologists have found help from an unlikely source: physics. A new experiment suggests a powerful concept known as a phase transition can predict how complex ecosystems—like those composed of the bacteria in your belly—behave. The finding could help us keep our guts healthy and even protect other complex ecosystems such as rainforests and ...

Twisty device explores alternative path to fusion
Is the search for fusion energy, long dominated by doughnut-shaped devices called tokamaks, about to undergo a shape shift? Just as ITER, the world’s largest tokamak—and at tens of billions of dollars the most expensive—nears completion in the hills of southern France, a much smaller testbed with a twistier geometry will start throttling up to full power in Germany.
If the 16-meter-wide device, called a stellarator, can match or outperform similar-size tokamaks, it could cause fusion scientists to rethink the future of their field. Stellarators have several key advantages, including a natural ability to keep th...

Why Researchers Are Still Testing Wild Animals for COVID-19
(Grand Portage, Minn.) — To administer this COVID test, Todd Kautz had to lay on his belly in the snow and worm his upper body into the narrow den of a hibernating black bear. Training a light on its snout, Kautz carefully slipped a long cotton swab into the bear’s nostrils five times.
For postdoctoral researcher Kautz and a team of other wildlife experts, tracking the coronavirus means freezing temperatures, icy roads, trudging through deep snow and getting uncomfortably close to potentially dangerous wildlife.
They’re testing bears, moose, deer and wolves on a Native American reservation in the remote n...
