Home stories include Harwell’s 80 years in the nation’s nuclear history, the funding threat hanging over Jodrell Bank, the end of the BP partnership at the Science Museum Group Academy and a purpose-built tower tracking greenhouse gases in real time. A US modular reactor reaching a UK milestone also features.
International research fills the rest: MIT work on the atomic nucleus and on atomic clock precision, boron isotopes for nuclear waste, lab-grown human blood, monkeys tapping to music, pre-Incan brewing and the faces of Colombian mummies. Reports name the institution behind the work, so readers can trace the original study.
