Saturday Citations: Leaky continental plates, talking monkeys and a spectacular Einstein ring

This week, researchers reported on nine rivers and lakes in the Americas that defy hydrologic expectations. Geologists report that Earth’s first crust probably had chemical features similar to today’s continental crust. And engineers advanced quantum technology by merging two exotic, lab-synthesized materials into an artificial structure, atom by atom. This week, researchers reported on nine rivers and lakes in the Americas that defy hydrologic expectations.
