Since late last year, the silver-short U.S. has been forced to mint silverless “sandwich” quarters and dimes containing a central layer of copper between two thin slices of copper-nickel alloy. Now ...

In January 2019, a seizure of 3.3 tons of ivory in Uganda turned up something surprising: markings on some of the tusks suggested that they may have been taken from a stockpile of ivory kept, it was ...

A new study uses carbon isotope science to show that marked tusks in a seized ivory shipment were more than 30 years old and likely had found their way from a guarded government stockpile into the ...
