Scientists discovered that supergiant isopods, deep-sea creatures the size of house cats, borrowed a bacterial gene that lets them survive for years without eating. This rare example of gene transfer between such different organisms reveals nature's remarkable survival strategies.
A kayaker survived three hours in freezing New Zealand harbor waters after his boat capsized, then walked naked to a stranger's door asking for help. He's already planning his next paddle.
Scientists just discovered insect larvae thriving at crushing depths in Lake Malawi where no insects should survive. Their secret? Specially reinforced air sacs that resist extreme underwater pressure.
Scientists have discovered how a tablet-sized deep-sea creature can survive over five years without eating. The secret is a gene it "stole" from bacteria millions of years ago.
Scientists discovered how giant deep-sea isopods survive more than five years without eating. The secret? A gene stolen from bacteria millions of years ago that slows their metabolism to a crawl.
A new University of South Carolina study found bottled water contains dramatically fewer disinfection byproducts than tap water. The research offers reassuring news for the billions of people worldwide who choose bottled water every day.
From freshwater ponds to the Arabian Sea, fish across India have evolved remarkable biological systems to maintain perfect water and salt balance in their bodies. The science behind osmoregulation explains how a rohu thrives in a Bengal pond while mackerel survive salty ocean waters.
Ghana Water Limited just took a major step toward turning its quality water into a thriving business everyone can access. The company launched a new leadership board to transform its G-Water brand into one of Ghana's most trusted bottled water options.
