NASA scientists created an AI tool that spots toxic algae blooms before they sicken beachgoers and poison marine life. The system combines data from five satellites to help coastal communities know exactly where to test waters and issue warnings faster.
Scientists in Japan discovered a microscopic fungus that naturally kills toxic algae responsible for harmful ocean blooms. The adaptable parasite could reveal a hidden force that helps keep coastal waters healthy.
Scientists just tested a breakthrough treatment in California's Clear Lake that could end decades of harmful algae blooms poisoning the water. The clay-like material locks phosphorus in the lake bottom, starving the toxic algae that shut down recreation every summer.
University of Minnesota researchers are testing a promising clay-based treatment that could finally tackle the toxic algae blooms plaguing lakes and ponds across America. The innovative approach has already shown lab success and could scale up to help massive lakes like Erie.
Scientists using artificial intelligence discovered that floating algae blooms have expanded dramatically across the world's oceans over the past 20 years, marking a major shift in marine ecosystems. The findings could help protect coastal communities and marine life from harmful algae while supporting healthier fisheries.
Singapore's new sensor network helps fish farmers predict deadly algae blooms days in advance, protecting livelihoods after a 2015 disaster wiped out 600 tonnes of fish. The technology could strengthen local food supply and keep seafood prices stable.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to scan 1.2 million satellite images and discovered that floating algae blooms are expanding across the world's oceans, creating new marine habitats. The breakthrough technology revealed a 13.4% yearly increase in some regions, marking a historic shift in ocean ecosystems.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to scan 1.2 million satellite images and discovered floating algae is spreading across Earth's oceans, marking a major shift in marine ecosystems. The breakthrough shows how AI can help us understand and prepare for changes in our oceans.
Engineers at Arizona State University discovered that a simple algae coating on roads can reduce harmful asphalt emissions' health impact by 100 times. The solution grows in wastewater treatment plants, solving two environmental problems at once.
Researchers discovered how to make bioluminescent algae glow for 25 minutes straight, then 3D-printed the living organisms into shapes that light up without batteries. This breakthrough could replace disposable batteries in small devices and create biosensors that glow when detecting environmental toxins.
Engineers at UNLV created lifelike 3D-printed sea lion pelvis models that let vets practice blood draws without using sick animals or cadavers. The innovation is helping save sea lions suffering from toxic algae blooms along California's coast.
Scientists engineered algae that smells like oranges to magnetically attract and remove tiny plastic particles from drinking water. The breakthrough could clean wastewater, reduce pollution, and transform captured plastics into safer materials. #
Orlando Bloom's 2010 message to children with dyslexia is going viral after California Governor Gavin Newsom defended students with learning differences. The actor says his own dyslexia made him more creative and successful.
New research from Australia shows harm reduction programs deliver massive returns, saving lives and millions of dollars. Every dollar invested in services like needle exchanges and overdose prevention could return more than $10 in benefits.
Southern calamari are reappearing in South Australian waters nearly a year after a devastating algal bloom wiped them out. Fishers and scientists are calling for extended fishing restrictions to help the fast-growing species fully recover.
Scientists in Japan discovered that amino acids in common seaweed and algae can help regulate blood pressure, potentially offering a natural alternative to hypertension medications. The same compounds also show promise for protecting skin from aging.
A University of Missouri scientist engineered algae that attracts and removes microplastics from water while cleaning wastewater and creating useful bioplastic products. The breakthrough could transform how cities treat water and tackle plastic pollution.
Scientists at UNLV created lifelike 3D-printed sea lion models that let veterinarians practice life-saving procedures without harming real animals. The breakthrough could help save hundreds of sea lions sickened by toxic algae blooms along California's coast.
When Barry Bloom got pancreatic cancer, he became a research participant and studied his own treatment papers with the same curiosity that defined his 60-year career. The legendary Harvard immunologist who discovered how our immune system remembers past infections died at 88, leaving behind breakthrough discoveries that transformed how we fight diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy.
Two landmark jury decisions found Meta and YouTube responsible for harming children's mental health, marking a major shift in Big Tech accountability. For the first time, courts validated what parents and advocates have been saying for years about social media dangers.
