Even sharks’ famous tooth-regrowing ability may not save them from ocean acidification. Researchers found that future acidic waters cause shark teeth to corrode, crack, and weaken, threatening their effectiveness as hunting weapons and highlighting hidden dangers for ocean ecosystems.
Bumble bees balance their diets with surprising precision
Bumble bees aren’t random foragers – they’re master nutritionists. Over an eight-year field study in the Colorado Rockies, scientists uncovered that different bee species strategically balance their intake of protein, fats, and carbs by choosing pollen from specific flowers. Larger, long-tongued bees seek protein-rich pollen, while smaller, short-tongued species prefer...
How to Generate Green Energy Using Nut Waste
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed an inexpensive device that generates enough electricity to power a calculator using only waste walnut shells and drops of water.
An Ultra-Thin Smart Filter can Significantly Extend EV Battery Lifespan
This new invention could make today’s heavy electric vehicle batteries lighter, safer and increase their range.
Twenty Years Later: What Lessons Have We Learned From Hurricane Katrina?
John Mutter remembers seeing the roofs of single-story homes poking above the water level in the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans.
Scientists found a new way to turn sunlight into fuel
A research team created a plant-inspired molecule that can store four charges using sunlight, a key step toward artificial photosynthesis. Unlike past attempts, it works with dimmer light, edging closer to real-world solar fuel production.
Maui’s fires drove a 67% jump in deaths. Most went uncounted
Researchers uncovered that the Maui wildfires caused a spike in deaths far higher than reported, with hidden fatalities linked to fire, smoke, and lack of medical access. They warn that prevention rooted in Native Hawaiian ecological knowledge is critical to avoiding another tragedy.
70 Years of Data Show Extreme Heat is Already Wiping Out Tropical Bird Populations
Human-driven climate change threatens many species, including birds.
Mystery Tumours Killing Tree Frogs
Research into fatal tumours growing on Queensland tree frogs has begun at The University of Queensland.
Researchers Identify Weak Points in Diamond Fusion Fuel Capsules
Scientists at the University of California San Diego have uncovered how diamond — the material used to encase fuel for fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory — can develop tiny structural flaws that may limit fusion performance.
