Every year, thousands of fishing pots sink to the ocean floor and never come back. But unlike an old bicycle tossed in a river, these lost pots don’t just sit there—they keep fishing, silently and endlessly. Scientists call this ghost fishing, and in Norway’s snow crab fishery, the hidden toll is staggerings. Over just three […]

Around the world, nearly three out of four deaths come from non-communicable diseases like diabetes, heart problems, and cancer. Diagnosing these conditions early could save millions of lives. But here’s the catch: modern medical data is messy, high-dimensional, and often overwhelming for doctors and computers alike. A new study has taken a surprising turn—using ideas […]

The recent climate pledge made by China at the United Nations Summit has stirred global discussions on its implications for environmental sustainability and economic growth. As the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide, China’s commitment to reduce emissions is seen as a crucial step in global efforts to combat climate change. But what does this […]

Every few seconds, somewhere on Earth, the ground trembles. Most quakes barely ripple through daily life. But what if some of these quakes are whispering secrets about the very heart of our planet? For decades, scientists thought Earth’s deepest layers—the mantle pressed against the molten outer core—were too sluggish to change on human timescales. We […]

Cells have different kinds of membranes. Some cells have membranes that are bendy and flexible, while others, like some archaea, have very strong membranes that help them survive in tough places. This study shows that mixing some bilayer lipids with the strong type can make the membrane both strong and flexible, which helps the cell survive and change its shape when needed.

Scientists studied how ants pass on important bacteria when starting new fungus gardens. They found that queen ants carry some bacteria to new gardens, but each ant species has its own specific bacteria. This sharing of bacteria is important, but how ants get these bacteria before spreading to new places is still unclear.
