Scientists have designed a tiny robot-fish that is programmed to remove microplastics from seas and oceans by swimming around and adsorbing them on its soft, flexible, self-healing body. Microplastics are the billions of tiny plastic particles which fragment from the bigger plastic things used every day such as […]
Normally you’ll hear about ice melting due to record temperatures, but now its about Microplastics found in freshly fallen Antarctic snow for the first time. Scientists working in the Ross Island region of Antarctica have found airborne microplastics in freshly fallen snow in one of the most remote […]

Carry bear spray, travel in groups and make noise, parks official says. It’s berry season in Banff, and Parks Canada is advising visitors to the national park to be on the lookout for grizzly and black bears searching for food and feeding in the bushes. For the rest […]
In estimations of ocean heat content—important when assessing and predicting the effects of climate change—calculations have often presented the rate of warming as a gradual rise from the mid-20th century to today. However, new research from UC Santa Barbara scientists Timothy DeVries and Aaron Bagnell could overturn that […]
The loneliest whale in the world lives in the north Pacific. Scientists have been tracking him on and off for more than 30 years – listening to his vocalizations as he swims back and forth across his patch of ocean, calling into the void and waiting for a […]
Great video about key facts from our dear friend the octopus! If you like these kind of videos, also have a look at “The insane biology of the Octopus”.
The minute-long video from the Yukon, Canada, shows the wolverine booking it straight down the highway after the hare. Occasionally, the raven swoops into view and appears to run interference, slowing the varmint down. “He wants to have a meal too, he’s helping him out,” one of the men says […]
Hand-reared wolf puppies remained wild and afraid of strangers but in dogs, communication skills emerge in early puppyhood, says Duke University-led study. Of course you think it is common sense that dogs make better pets than wolves. Now, a new study led by researchers at Duke University spells […]
