What is it that causes something to transform? And what is a transformation, really? Sometimes we speak of tipping points or boiling points—critical states where a small change can cause an entire system, ultimately even the whole planet, to change form. In physics and chemistry, such phase transitions can be observed and predicted, but the larger the context, the harder it becomes—and the more is

We tend to attribute today's zoological menagerie of dog breeds to Victorian gentlemen with a penchant for selective breeding. The truth, however, goes back much further. An international study shows that the rich morphological variety among dogs began to take off 11,000 years ago – long before nineteenth century kennel clubs. Look at the dogs of today: the dainty Chihuahua, which most resembles a

Identical twins share the same DNA, but one twin may suffer from type 2 diabetes while the other twin does not develop the disease. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has now discovered that there are differences in gene activity in twins where only one sibling had developed the disease. The researchers’ discovery could contribute to the development of new treatment methods. “Identical twins
