Science today spans the microscopic to the orbital. In Borneo, Malaysian researchers have identified a new “hyperparasite” fungus that attacks the notorious zombie fungi known for hijacking insects, a reminder that even nature’s strangest predators can themselves become prey. In space, Canada’s MDA is moving to deepen its U.S. presence with the acquisition of satellite maker Blue Canyon Technologies, underscoring the commercial race to build more spacecraft, faster. On Earth, Amazon says it is now “water positive” in India, arguing that conservation and replenishment efforts offset the heavy demands of offices and data centres as scrutiny of tech’s environmental footprint grows. Together, the stories capture a defining tension in modern science: discovery is accelerating, but so is the pressure to manage the systems — ecological, industrial and planetary — that innovation increasingly depends on.
