ON APRIL 26, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor in northern Ukraine—then part of the Soviet Union—exploded, sending a massive plume of radiation into the sky. Nearly four decades later, the Chernobyl Power Plant and many parts of the surrounding area remain uninhabited—by humans, at least.Animals of all kinds have thrived in humanity’s absence.

As the world’s greatest nuclear disaster approaches its 40th anniversary, biologists are now taking a closer look at…

Some people even create a full water bar (yes, that’s like a liquor bar but with water), featuring…

On June 1, the government agency announced its limit of 10 parts per billion (ppb) for inorganic arsenic in apple juice.
