Listen to this article. Although a majority of New Jerseyans support the development of offshore wind, that endorsement has fallen dramatically, according to a new poll released Tuesday by the Monmouth University Polling Institute. The survey found that just over half of residents (54%) are in favor of developing wind farms off the state's coast versus 40% who oppose them.

To a human nose, hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten eggs, geranyl acetate like roses. But the problem of guessing how a new chemical will smell without having someone sniff it has long stumped food scientists, perfumers and neuroscientists alike. Now, in a study published in Science, researchers describe a machine-learning model that does this job.
