Meet Evan Budz: The 16-year-old Canadian who built an AI-powered robot turtle to detect microplastics with 94% accuracy July 23, 2026 at 12:10AM

Thousands of idle ships trapped near the Strait of Hormuz could become floating nurseries for invasive marine species July 22, 2026 at 11:25PM

Ships lingering in the Persian Gulf could unintentionally facilitate the spread of harmful marine invaders worldwide. Extended anchorage allows marine organisms to thrive on the hulls, creating significant biofouling concerns that threaten global maritime commerce. These invasive species can inflict extensive ecological and economic harm on coastal areas. It is imperative for nations to join forces to address biofouling issues and prevent future outbreaks of invasion.

The secret lives of whale sharks finally unveiled! July 21, 2026 at 11:08PM

New findings have shown that whale sharks are capable of diving deeper than seventy meters when hunting for food. These majestic giants use a variety of feeding strategies, moving beyond just grazing at the surface. Remarkable underwater footage captured via cameras attached to the sharks highlights their feeding dynamics, showcasing low-energy grazing alongside energetic krill chases. This study enhances our grasp of their intricate foraging patterns.

Significant rock formation: 2.56 billion-year-old Pichhore granite discovered; offers clues to ancient geological processes July 20, 2026 at 10:46PM

India's Pichhore orbicular granite, 2.56 billion years old, is a rare geological marvel. This ancient rock formation displays unusual spherical structures called orbicules, which are rarely found globally. Researchers discovered inherited zircon crystals indicating Earth's earliest crust recycled during the Neoarchean Era. The granite's formation suggests magma intrusion and rapid cooling deep beneath the surface. This significant find helps reconstruct conditions of the young Earth and early continents.
