It is dawn in the Andes. A grimy carpet of red dust stretches over rolling featureless hills towards a horizon dominated by the icy cone of Chile's Licancabur volcano.
Scientists have stored all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets on tiny stretches of synthesized DNA. Large companies might one day keep DNA storage rather than maintain and update roomfuls of hard drives.
The gliding ability of the flying squirrel is attributed to a parachute-like membrane which stretches from wrist to ankle. Their tail is used as a rudder, as well as an air brake for landing.

A new picture helps scientists unravel the mystery of a vast green blob discovered in a galaxy millions of light years away. Part of a streamer of gas stretching around the galaxy, it may be giving birth to new stars.

This Northwest Territory heavy-haul ice road stretches more than 300 miles over frozen lakes. By mid-April, the road becomes impassable, reduced to frigid waters.
