ICF versus MCF
Maury Markowitz
reply by
Daniel Jassby
[short_description]
Saying magnetic confinement fusion is closer to a power plant than is inertial confinement fusion—it’s like saying a 20-foot ladder is closer to landing you on the moon than is a 10-foot ladder.

Understanding the Chances for Life
Robin Hanson
reply by
Charles Lineweaver
[short_description]
Does the fact that advanced life has appeared on Earth imply analogous chances for other planets? Robin Hanson shows two different relations between such chances. With reply by Charles Lineweaver.

Imperial Rivalries
Michael Khodarkovsky
[short_description]
Henry Rawlinson’s translation of the Behistun Inscription is part of a larger story of empire and imperial rivalries. The fascinating life of the double-agent Jan Witkiewicz adds an intriguing footnote.

A Storm in a Primordial Teacup
Anthony Futerman
reply by
James Tour
[short_description]
Origin of life research is in trouble. Laboratory conditions cannot replicate prebiotic scenarios, meaning studies that purport to explain the emergence of life in fact explain nothing at all.

All in the Details
Neeraja Sankaran
[short_description]
Peyton Rous’s reactions to his various colleagues offer a glimpse of the personality behind the scientist—and serve as a perfect example of the vital role archives play in the craft of history.

Perspective Is Everything
David Romps
reply by
Robert Socolow
[short_description]
Lawrence Krauss’s
The Physics of Climate Change
is an accurate portrayal of modern climate science, says David Romps. There are, however, a few quibbles to be had with Robert Socolow’s review.

Anyons in One Dimension
Martin Greiter
[short_description]
A fascinating possibility exists for exotic quantum statistics to interpolate between the familiar cases of bosons and fermions: the anyon, observed in two dimensions. But how does it behave in one?

Conflicts Separated by a Century
Robert Blobaum
reply by
Jochen Böhler
[short_description]
After World War One, national populist agendas plunged Eastern and Central Europe into civil war. Robert Blobaum can see similarities to this period of history in the current conflict in Ukraine.

Naveen Sundar Govindarajulu
[short_description]
Machine learning is incapable of generating the kind of subterfuge that a human mind can. It is the human mind that can harness this new technology to nefarious ends that should be feared.
