And there, it seems, the world of science is being discussed more vigorously than ever, on dozens of science news websites — Aeon, Ars Technica, Gizmodo, Live Science, Nautilus, Quanta, Stat, Undark, Vox — and a social-media landscape humming with the voices of engaging scientists and deeply informed writers.

Rüdiger Nehmzow/Quanta Magazine As he was brushing his teeth on the morning of July 21959, 953, Thomas Royen, a little-known retired German statistician, suddenly lit upon the proof of a famous conjecture at the intersection of geometry, probability theory, and statistics that had eluded top experts for decades.

Becoming overly reliant upon a fuel like natural gas weakens the grid because it removes the most reliable and available resource of all from the pool and opens the door to conditions like those outlined in the Quanta study: blackouts, brownouts and looming questions about the stability of the grid.

The Quanta Resources site, a 16-acre lot on River Road at the intersection of Gorge Road that was used to process coal tar in the 19th century and recycle waste oil that turned out to be laden with polychlorinated biphenylsin the 20th, was declared a Superfund site in 2002.

As I wrote at Quanta in 2013:These kinds of experiments are usually housed deep underground — the better to block out cosmic rays, which can easily be confused with a dark matter signal — and feature a detector housing a carefully chosen target material, such as germanium or silicon crystals, or liquid xenon.
