Birds can be electrocuted if they come into contact with two energized parts of a power line at once—which can happen when they spread their wings to take off from or land on a power pole. Because of this, energy companies invest substantial time and money into making sure power lines are avian safe, installing safe perches and insulating energized elements. However, a recent study published on August 1 in the journal iScience presents a new priority for conservation, as it suggests that electrocution is no longer the only leading cause of death for birds along power lines.

The scoop shop will be a couple of buildings away from the former Sealtest dairy ice cream plant into which the 19-year-old company moved its production from Grand Isle in 2022.

SINGAPORE : The police have taken control of more than S$1.8 billion in assets as they continue to investigate one of the largest money laundering cases in Singapore, prosecutors told the High Court on Tuesday (Sept 5). The update in the value of assets that have been seized, frozen, or issued with prohibition of disposal orders, came in a hearing where one of the 10 people who have been charged in the case argued for bail to be granted. The order blocks the sale of assets which are the subject of a police investigation.

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, but the overuse of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture is not sustainable. In a review article publishing in the journal Trends in Microbiology on September 26, a team of bacteriologists and plant scientists discuss the possibility of using genetic engineering to facilitate mutualistic relationships between plants and nitrogen-fixing microbes called "diazotrophs." These engineered associations would help crops acquire nitrogen from the air by mimicking the mutualisms between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

HOLLYWOOD, United States—The Oscars take place Sunday, March 12, with two big questions on everyone's lips: Will anyone get slapped? And can a wacky sci-fi featuring hot dog fingers and butt plugs really win best picture? While the answer to the first question is likely no—Academy chiefs have a 'crisis team' in place after Will Smith's misadventures last year—the overwhelming response to the latter seems to be yes. 'Everything Everywhere All at Once,' which follows a Chinese immigrant laundromat owner locked in battle with an inter-dimensional supervillain who happens to also be her own daughter, could not be farther from your typical Oscar winner.
