 Meadows filled with flowers, a rich North Sea, a green residential area... The concept of biodiversity is receiving increasing attention. It often features in discussions about climate, farming and housing. But what does it really mean? Why is biodiversity important and how can we protect it? We study these and similar questions at Wageningen...

 With glaciers melting at unprecedented rates due to climate change, invertebrates that live in the cold meltwater rivers of the Alps will face widespread habitat loss, warn researchers.Many of the species are likely to become restricted to cold habitats that will only persist higher in the mountains, and these areas are also likely to see pre...

 For nearly two decades, astrophysicists have believed that long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) resulted solely from the collapse of massive stars. Now, a new study upends that long-established and long-accepted belief.Led by Northwestern University, a team of astrophysicists has uncovered new evidence that at least some long GRBs can result from neu...

Western's Emily Adlam talks theories of time on The Conversation's podcast "Great Mysteries of Physics".  Without a sense of time, leading us from cradle to grave, our lives would make little sense. But on the most fundamental level, physicists aren't sure whether the sort of time we experience exists at all.This is the topic of the first...

New techniques can be used to answer questions that were previously inaccessible experimentally - including questions about the connection between quanta and the theory of relativity.The theory of relativity works great for explaining cosmic-scale phenomena, such as the gravitational waves produced when black holes collide.
