Photo: James Duncan Davidson Taylor Wilson is a 17-year old nuclear physicist. No, really. He charms the audience from the get-go, making the case that "you know, as a scientist, the glass is always 100% full, with water and air."

After a nuclear disaster, then what? A surprising look at the animals of Chernobyl and Fukushima

Which is the bigger threat to wildlife: Radioactivity or humans? Wildlife ecologist Jim Beasley has gone into the contaminated zones around Chernobyl and Fukushima to learn the answer, and his findings are both sobering and heartening. When humans are evacuated after a nuclear disaster, what happens to the environment -- soil, plants and trees,...

Opinion: Data isn’t the new oil -- it’s the new nuclear power

Data is a valuable, powerful commodity -- but unlike oil, it is unlimited in quantity and in its capacity for harm, says technology thinker James Bridle. The phrase “data is the new oil” was apparently coined in 2006 by Clive Humby, the British mathematician and architect of the Tesco Clubcard, a supermarket reward program. Since then, it has b...
