Dear Reader,
A blinding flare of light detected last year might have been emitted by the merger of two black holes 4 billion years ago. Our lead story has the details on this controversial finding. From our July issue, more than 100,000 rape kits in the U.S. are collecting dust on shelves in labs, hospitals and police stations because states lack the money—or the will—to process them. In an editorial, Scientific American argues in favor of mandating the testing of all evidence kits to bring justice for rape victims. And in environmental news, a new analysis shows that FEMA undercounted nearly 8 million homes and businesses that face substantial risk of flooding, placing more Americans in jeopardy from coastal storm surges and sea-level rise. |
