Study: Albatrosses can dive up to 62 feet underwater to hunt prey, more than twice as deep as previously thought
A study has revealed that black-browed albatrosses can dive up to an impressive 62 feet (19 meters) into the sea to hunt prey, which is more than twice the depth previously thought. The study, which was published in the journal Current Biology, was led by zoologist Oliver Padget of the University of Oxford and his fellow […]

Pee for plant growth? Scientists push for use of human urine as effective, sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers
Researchers are advocating the use of human urine as an effective and sustainable fertilizer that could replace environmentally damaging chemical fertilizers. Some of the strongest advocates from the United States are from the Rich Earth Institute (REI), a Vermont-based research organization that uses science to advance the use of human waste as a resource. “If you […]

Newly discovered pathogen variant may wipe out already threatened bee populations worldwide
A newly discovered variant of a virus that affects bees is now threatening to wipe out apian populations around the globe. A variant of the deformed wing virus (DWV), dubbed DWV-B by scientists, appears to affect bees at a faster rate. The virus causes severe damage to the wings of bees before eventually killing them. […]

Geo-nocide: Geoengineering could cause malaria resurgence in tropical countries
New research published in the journal Nature Communications speculates that if geoengineering continues, at least one billion people will be put at risk by a new malaria resurgence in tropical countries. Researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center assessed how geoengineering impacts the spread of infectious diseases. Scientists from the United States, Bangladesh, South Africa and […]

New research shows microplastics are even more toxic to humans than previously thought
Microplastics have been found to pick up pollution in their travels. Meaning, they pose an even greater threat to human health than previously thought. In the ocean, for instance, toxic compounds can hitch a ride on plastic and make it 10 times more toxic than it would normally be, according to new research from Tel Aviv University. The study […]

New research suggests mushrooms can communicate with each other using up to 50 “words”
A recent study published in the Royal Society Open Science journal has found that mushrooms can communicate with each other. Scientists even believe they are able to use up to 50 “words.” “[We] found that the ‘fungal language’ exceeds the European languages in morphological complexity,” reads the study, written by Andrew Adamatzky, professor of computer science at […]

FINDING: Masks will silently deprive humans of oxygen for years to come through microplastic pollution
For the first time, scientists have detected microplastic pollution in human blood. The study, published in Environment International, detected plastic particles in almost 80% of the people they tested. These microplastics may be consumed or inhaled. These microplastics can attach to red blood cells, harming oxygen utilization in the bloodstream. They also interfere with glandular […]

Antarctic petrels (birds) mysteriously disappear from Svarthamaren Mountain
In 1984, there were over 400,000 Antarctic petrels in Svarthamaren Mountain, Antarctica. By 2020, there were less than 100,000. But in 2022, Antarctic petrels have completely disappeared in the area. Petrels are considered to be the only species of birds in the world under the genus Thalassoica. These seabirds have large brown and white wings with white underparts […]

Ice cores drilled in Antarctica, Greenland reveal scores of gigantic volcanic eruptions during Ice Age
Ice cores drilled in Antarctica and Greenland have shown colossal volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age, with many of them bigger than any eruption in modern history. According to the University of Copenhagen physicists who were responsible for the research, these ancient eruptions “can teach us about our planet’s sensitivity to Earth change.” For most people, the mention […]
