An offshore wind farm in Portugal became a haven for octopuses and 270 other species in just eight years, a data point that reframes how energy and ocean life can coexist
First images show a ribbon worm that folds like an accordion, and Pararosa vigarae looks like sci-fi even though it lives in the real ocean
An astrophysicist argues dark matter doesn’t exist and the universe is 27 billion years old, a controversial theory trying to fit data that won’t sit still in the standard model
What started as a routine highway survey near Hradec Králové turned into one of Bohemia’s biggest Celtic finds, a 62-acre settlement where archaeologists pulled up gold and silver coins, Baltic amber, and workshops that suggest a production center, not just a stopover
In 1982 the Soviet Venera 13 lander survived 127 minutes on Venus in about 855°F heat and pressure comparable to roughly 2,950 feet underwater, long enough to beam back two panoramas of basaltic rock under an orange sky
China discovers a mega-deposit of about 540 million U.S. tons of lithium ore, and the number reshuffles the battery and energy-transition board overnight
A new Dumbo octopus is discovered in the deep Pacific, and Grimpoteuthis feitiana proves every deep-sea expedition still finds names that didn’t exist yesterday
The world’s largest floating city is back in action: 80,000 residents, a stadium, schools and even eight helipads
A University of Nebraska-Lincoln study finds nitrate pollution can release uranium into US drinking water
Chinese vessels are accelerating the collapse of fishing in Senegal, driving $300 million in annual losses and impacting 13 million people, a quiet crisis already hitting dinner tables
A metal detector uncovers a 1,400-year-old Byzantine treasure, and the coins reappear as if they were hidden yesterday
An autonomous submarine named Ran mapped 54 square miles under Antarctica’s Dotson Ice Shelf and found plateaus, terraced “steps,” and teardrop pits carved by basal melt, then lost contact and disappeared, leaving behind data that shows why melt can concentrate in hidden fractures models often miss
Switzerland dug a hole the size of two soccer fields to install the world’s most powerful underground battery, able to release 1.2 GW in milliseconds and store 2.1 GWh at a multibillion-dollar price tag
Scientists discover a new deep-ocean coral nicknamed “Chewbacca,” and Iridogorgia thrives where sunlight never reaches and life seems impossible
Italian architects 3D-print a house from local clay— without using traditional bricks — by sourcing soil from the site itself. The question is no longer if it works but how much it can cut costs?
The rarest mineral recognized by science weighs about 0.011 ounces, exists as a single known natural specimen, and its discovery exposes how fragile Earth’s catalog still is
