ICYMI: Hemoglobin, the pigment that binds to oxygen in red cells, is the critical working ingredient of our blood. But it’s also toxic, and many characteristics of our blood evolved to control the dangers it poses.

Rogue waves were sailor lore until a 26-meter-tall monster struck a Norwegian oil platform in 1995. Now researchers have created a unified theory of rogue waves. quantamagazine.org/the-grand-unif… pic.twitter.com/hw0lePdx94

ICYMI: In molecular biologist Nathan Goehring’s simulations of cell division, cells lost the ability to divide unevenly below a minimum size. When he noticed that this threshold was the size of certain cells in embryos, he found a clue to development. quantamagazine.org/for-embryos-ce…

Did the universe have a beginning and can we ever know the fundamental laws of nature, or is it turtles all the way down? This month, our puzzle examines how science makes sense of infinite regress. quantamagazine.org/puzzle-with-in…
