,1,More than 10,000 collisions between animals and airplanes are reported each year to the FAA, and those numbers are on the rise. Specialists work around the clock to keep airport wildlife strikes from turning deadly, employing a range of tactics from habitat management to sequencing bird DNA. Can they keep up with the pace of travel? The Verge Science team ventured from the tarmac to the feather identification lab to find out. Check out our latest video to learn more — and find out what “snarge” is.

,1,Graphene is a form of carbon that could bring us bulletproof armor and space elevators, improve medicine, and make the internet run faster — some day. For the past 15 years, consumers have been hearing about this wonder material and all the ways it could change everything. Is it really almost here, or is it another promise that is perpetually just one more breakthrough away?

,1,In 1977, twin golden records were sent into space on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. Still sailing through space at nearly 60,000 km per hour, the records contain sound, songs, and images from earth. But how did NASA include images on an analog record? Here, we decoded the audio, and see the images the way that aliens were intended to see them.

,1,The FDA recently issued a bulletin warning people not to buy injections of “young blood.” Why on Earth does the government even need to say such a thing? The answer involves some misunderstood science, overblown news reports, and sketchy entrepreneurs.
