Publisher's Summary:

A gaping wound in Earths atmosphere is healing. Since 2000, the average size of the Antarctic ozone hole in September has shrunk by about 4.5 million square kilometers, an area larger than India, researchers report. While the hole wont close completely until at least midcentury, the researchers say the results are a testament to the Montreal Protocol. Implemented in 1989, it banned ozone-depleting chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons worldwide.

Most people think that autism is a disorder of the brain. But the skin may play a role, too, a new study suggests. Nerve cells in the skin are abnormal in mice with mutations in autism-related genes, leading to altered touch perception, scientists report. This trouble sensing touch may influence the developing brain in a way that leads to social deficits and anxiety later in life.

I have to stop myself from reaching for a bottle of soy sauce here in the kitchen of Arcadia Biosciences offices in Seattle - Rey is the chief executive of the biotechnology company - to add a little salt.

Title: Tracking Tigers

Narrator: Jef Holbrook

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-18-16

Publisher: Scientific American

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

As a schoolboy growing up in the spectacular wilderness of southwestern Indias hill country, known as Malenad, I was enchanted by tigers. The many tiger-themed rituals in our Hindu culture fueled my fascination. During the autumn Dasara festival celebrating the triumph of good over evil, for example, muscular Huli Vesha men, their bodies painted in patterns of ochre, white and black, mimicked the cats graceful movements as the dancers moved to the crescendo of drumbeats. It was an electrifying spectacle. But the unfolding reality around me was grim: livestock farmers and sport hunters were killing of the last wild tigers, and loggers were relentlessly felling the rich forests for timber. By the time I was a teenager in the early 1960s, I had given up dreams of ever seeing a tiger in the wild.

"Tracking Tigers" is from the July 1, 2016 issue of Scientific American.

Googles cuddly-looking robotic cars have taken a big step on the way to developing a harder edge: theyve learned to honk. In the Google Self-Driving Car Projects latest monthly report (PDF), the company says it has been testing horn algorithms in its prototype cars for some time, playing the horn sound inside the cars as a way to make sure theyre not beeping in a way that would confuse other drivers. As the algorithm has improved, the cars have recently begun broadcasting our car horn to the world.

Language: English

Release date: 05-25-16

Publisher: Scientific American

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

While diving off the Micronesian archipelago of Pulau, evolutionary biologist Giacomo Bernardi witnessed something unusual and was lucky enough to capture it on film. An orange-dotted tuskfish uncovered a clam buried in the sand by blowing water at it, picked up the mollusk in its mouth and carried it to a large rock 30 yards away. Then, using several rapid head flicks and well-timed releases, the fish eventually cracked open the clam against the rock. In the ensuing 20.minutes, the tuskfish ate three clams, using the same sequence of behaviors to smash them.

"Einstein of the Sea" is from the June 2016 issue of Scientific American.
