The use of solar power is growing rapidly, especially in developing regions in the tropics, as countries work toward meeting carbon neutrality goals. But according to new research, solar power use is also accompanied by solar power shortages (droughts) when demand exceeds supply for at least three days. Such shortages can leave millions without access to cooling or cooking abilities.

One of the most fascinating collective behaviors is chain formation in army ants. The worker ants cling together via hooks on their feet to bridge large gaps. Their sisters can then walk across to reach the other side. Here is Eciton burchellii inside an experimental setup. https://t.co/OzuCu7CbTd
