New understanding of fly behavior has potential application in robotics, public safety
Scientists have identified an automatic behavior in flies that helps them assess wind conditions -- its presence and direction -- before deploying a strategy to follow a scent to its source. The fact that they can do this is surprising -- can you tell if there's a gentle breeze if you stick your head out of a moving car? Flies aren't just reacting to an odor with a preprogrammed response: they are responding in context-appropriate manner. This knowledge potentially could be applied to train more

Cassini’s First Years at Saturn
In July 2004, NASA’s Cassini probe flew into orbit around Saturn. The robotic spacecraft enabled scientists to make new discoveries at Saturn and solve long-standing mysteries. But along with these answers came new questions, some of which remain unanswered twenty years later.
Before Cassini, the Pioneer and Voyager probes flew past Saturn, capturing the first close-up images. Cassini was unique, according to Carolyn Porco, the mission’s imaging director, because it became the “first artificial
Debt-for-Nature Swaps: Solution or Scam?
For countries transitioning to net zero, financing is critical. Yet for the many countries hovering close to the precipice of a debt crisis, spending the necessary sums on clean energy and sustainable infrastructure is out of the question. Indeed, countries facing debt crises often need to turn to less sustainable practices, such as deforestation and fossil fuel extraction, just to keep heads above (metaphorical) water. One solution to this predicament touted as a “win-win” is debt-for-nature sw
