Can 3D farming help save the world’s oceans? Innovative ocean farmer grows eco-friendly food that doesn’t harm the environment
Adopting 3D farming in the ocean may help both humans and the environment in several ways. Thanks to the benefits of the seaweed and seafood they raise, ocean farmers have the power to help clean up and preserve the environment. Shellfish can provide a healthy source of protein that may replace beef from cattle, which […]

Researchers find that the Earth’s mantle is “more dynamic” than previously believed
The medial zone of the Earth’s three-layered interior, the mantle is itself divided into upper and lower parts. Most experts believe that the lower mantle is dormant, but a recent European study found greater signs of dynamic activity in the region. The lower mantle starts 410 miles (660 km) beneath the crust of the planet. […]

The Solar System must be preserved via “space wilderness” areas to prevent a gold rush, warn researchers
Experts have warned that space mining would cause a new Gold Rush that might deplete the resources of the solar system in several centuries. Before that disaster happens, humans must set up “space wildernesses.” The proposal came from researchers at the Smithsonian Institution and King’s College London. It recommended setting aside seven-eights of the solar […]

Scientists turn to elk to help restore damaged strip-mined land
When it comes to bringing back plants and wildlife to the barren wasteland of strip mines throughout Central Appalachia, conservationists have recently tried out a different approach. They built their environmental restoration program around Rocky Mountain elk that recently returned to their old stomping grounds. Large populations of elk used to live in the Appalachians […]

It’s about to get A LOT noisier: Commercial drone delivery won’t just bring packages, but also incessant buzzing
The sky will soon get more crowded and much noisier. Companies like Alphabet and Amazon are getting ready to launch their drone delivery services into the air, leading to a spike in noise pollution. If you thought small toy drones grated on the ear, commercial models make the recreational units seem quiet in comparison. The […]

Sailing scientists discover almost 200,000 marine virus species: Data can help biologists understand how viruses affect the marine ecosystem
The oceans contain far more species of viruses than previously believed. While not all of them are harmful to humans, they may exert a considerable effect on the environment. Following an extended cruise around the world aboard a sailing ship, an international research team reported finding nearly 200,000 species of marine viruses. They released the details […]

Electricity in unlikely places: Rock surfaces throughout the planet may act as natural solar panels
Rocks might not strike you as a potential source of clean and renewable energy, much less a substitute for solar panels. But Chinese researchers found that some stones sport metallic coats that naturally convert sunlight into electricity via the same process as photosynthetic organisms. The coating contains iron and manganese, two minerals used in photovoltaic […]

Mercury exposure catches up to world’s fastest bird; study says it can adversely affect breeding. What else is it harming?
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) may be the fastest bird on the planet, but it isn’t fast enough to outrun the toxic heavy metal named after the Roman god of communication and travel. The feathers of peregrines across the United States have displayed signs of mercury contamination. In Nevada, a researcher with the state’s Department […]

Don’t inhale the… water? Study reveals bacteria which causes Legionnaire’s disease can infect people through water in the air
The bacteria responsible for Legionnaire’s disease live in water. But researchers warned that tiny water droplets containing the disease-causing Legionella microbe are floating in the air. Their study indicated that people might get infected if they inhaled the airborne droplets of contaminated water. Supported by Arizona State University (ASU) and Drexel University, the researchers investigated how Legionella pneumophila […]

NOT like the movies: Sharks are vulnerable creatures – and one of the species hurt most by commercial fishing
In the movies, sharks threaten humans, especially if they rode tornadoes inland. In real life, however, it’s the other way around: Human commercial fishing threatens to drive sharks and their relatives, rays, into extinction. A U.K. team counted the number of sharks and rays accidentally caught by small-scale fisheries in the South West Indian Ocean. […]
