Mathematicians prove perfectly fair elections are impossible
8+ hour, 15+ min ago (451+ words) Mathematicians have shown that no electoral system can perfectly balance local representation, proportional national results, and a fixed-size parliament once enough parties compete. A newly proposed voting method could soften these unavoidable trade-offs and produce outcomes that are much closer…...
This 4,000-year-old city defied the rules of history
3+ day, 8+ hour ago (684+ words) New research suggests that Mohenjo-daro followed a very different path from many other early cities.

China’s Chang’e-6 reveals why solar wind hits the Moon’s two sides differently
1+ week, 5+ day ago (896+ words) The Moon has been exposed to the solar wind for billions of years. However, new evidence shows that its two hemispheres have not experienced that bombardment in the same way. Particles striking the near side and far side arrive at…...
New “living plastic” self-destructs in just 6 days without leaving microplastics
2+ week, 2+ day ago (611+ words) Many plastic items are used for only a few minutes or hours, but the material can remain in the environment for decades or even centuries. Researchers are now exploring a different approach: plastics designed to break themselves down when activated....
Earth has a natural thermostat and scientists finally know how it works
2+ week, 3+ day ago (698+ words) Scientists have identified a hidden feedback loop that may explain how Earth has regulated its climate for tens of millions of years. As sea levels rose and fell, they changed how much phosphate reached the open ocean, affecting marine life…...
Alan Turing's biggest AI assumption may have been wrong
2+ week, 5+ day ago (680+ words) A new book claims AI has been built on a flawed assumption dating back to Alan Turing's famous 1950 paper. Peter J. Denning argues that the most important parts of human intelligence, including common sense, intuition, culture, and practical know-how,…...
