The Economist: Plankton are much more interesting than you might think
Beneath the surface of Britain's tumultuous sea, a metal box drifts, tracking the invisible life of plankton. It’s the world’s longest marine survey, a reminder of the overlooked intricacies of our watery world, even while storms of economic and political strife brew above.

But even with a surge in construction, the deep-seated problems of affordability are unlikely to vanish overnight. The game has changed and the stakes have risen—it's more than just bricks and mortar.
