Bricking it! How a ‘crinkle crankle’ wall reinvented the Serpentine Pavilion
Lanza Atelier’s simple, powerful pavilion features an actual serpentine brought to life in a wave of rust-coloured brick – a material never used for the structure beforeServing looks all summer on the green carpet of Kensington Gardens, the often wildly experimental Serpentine Pavilion is best viewed as a piece of architectural haute couture. For the last 25 years, it has hosted all sorts of fashionistas, from the American Frank Gehry, whose pavilion resembled an explosion in a lumber yard,...

'Out-of-place' rocks reveal how a young ocean formed
'Out-of-place' rocks reveal how a young ocean formed Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Deep below the Tyrrhenian Sea offshore Italy, scientists drilled into what they thought would be dark mantle rock—and found pieces of granite that seemingly had no business being there. Those unexpected intrusions turned out to offer a rare glimpse of how a massive fault rapidly pulled deep Earth rocks toward the surface during the opening of a young ocean basin. "When we first...
These California wildflowers could save other plants
These California wildflowers could save other plants Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor As wildflowers go, the mountain jewelflower is demure, clever and quietly unbreakable. It has spread across many of California's iconic landscapes, from Sonoma wine country to the oak-dotted foothills, even over the Sierra Crest, where snow covers the ground during winter. "It seems at first glance like it could grow just about anywhere," said Jennifer Gremer, an associate professor in...
Mount Etna eruptions reveal carbon dioxide and water can trigger separate explosive paths
Mount Etna eruptions reveal carbon dioxide and water can trigger separate explosive paths Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The plumbing systems of volcanoes are vast and complex. But they aren't consistent, even in the same volcano. A Cornell-led collaboration found very different mechanisms behind two historic eruptions of Mount Etna in Italy.
A functional amyloid scaffold shapes insect egg coats
Functional amyloids serve as structural scaffolds across biology, yet the molecular architecture and assembly principles of many remain unresolved. The lepidopteran egg coat, or chorion, presents a striking example: hundreds of paralogous proteins sharing a conserved central domain assemble into a mechanically resilient amyloid matrix essential for embryo protection. Here, combining evolutionary analysis of more than 500 sequences with cryo-electron microscopy and biophysical assays, we...
Why is the idea of a Blue Moon so enchanting? Over 100 years of pop culture fascination
Why is the idea of a Blue Moon so enchanting? Over 100 years of pop culture fascination What is it about the Blue Moon that inspires us to write songs and name beers after it? On May 31, the lunar month culminates in a Blue Moon — in this case, the second full moon in a calendar month.
Epsom Derby tips: the runners, riders and which horse to bet on
The Epsom Derby, with its top prize of £1m, takes place on Saturday at 4pm. The favourite, Benvenuto Cellini, looks a solid bet. He stays, appears to have pace and balance and I cannot see Ryan Moore picking any of the other six Ballydoyle runners over him.
