Deep-diving robots just helped scientists crack a decades-old puzzle about Antarctica's sea ice, revealing how ocean warmth and shifting winds suddenly reversed 40 years of ice growth. The breakthrough gives us powerful new tools to predict sea level changes that affect every coastline on Earth.
While rising seas threaten coastlines worldwide, Greenland faces the opposite problem. Scientists predict the island's sea levels could drop up to 2.5 meters by 2100, creating unexpected challenges for coastal communities.
A team of researchers endured fierce winds and extreme cold while camping on Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier for eight weeks to drill through half a mile of ice. Their mission could provide breakthrough data on how ocean water melts glaciers from below, helping predict future sea level rise.
A billionaire-backed vessel is revolutionizing marine research by pairing cutting-edge science with Hollywood-level storytelling. OceanXplorer partners with local scientists worldwide to explore the deep sea while sharing discoveries with millions online.
Severed sea cucumber tissue has survived more than three years in a lab, healing itself and absorbing nutrients without a mouth or brain. The discovery could revolutionize medical research with naturally immortal cells that don't require sterile conditions or raise ethical concerns.
A team of researchers spent a week living on Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, preparing to drill half a mile into the ice to study how warming oceans affect sea levels. Despite harsh winds and endless snow shoveling, the team stayed hopeful and connected through Starlink internet while waiting for their chance to collect groundbreaking climate data.
A glowing golden sphere discovered two miles beneath Alaska's ocean surface puzzled researchers for months. DNA testing just revealed it's the remnants of a rare deep-sea anemone that can grow tentacles seven feet long.
Researchers just completed a four-year study of the mysterious ocean beneath Antarctica's largest ice shelf, revealing seasonal patterns that could help predict future sea level changes. The instruments they placed survived twice as long as expected in one of Earth's most remote environments.
Scientists using torpedo-shaped underwater robots finally solved a decade-long puzzle about why Antarctic sea ice suddenly started shrinking in 2016. The discovery helps us better understand and prepare for sea level changes affecting coastal communities worldwide.
A kindergartner's dream came true, and now Jessica Fujii studies how California's 3,000 sea otters are keeping coastal ecosystems healthy enough to withstand climate change. By munching through a quarter of their body weight daily in sea urchins and crabs, these furry predators are preserving kelp forests that protect shorelines from warming oceans and stronger storms.
Scientists have finally identified the mysterious golden orb discovered two miles underwater off Alaska in 2023. It turned out to be part of a giant sea anemone, solving a puzzle that required DNA sequencing and expertise from multiple research teams.
Researchers are broadcasting live footage from one of Earth's most mysterious ecosystems, a volcanic wonderland on the Arctic seafloor that may hold secrets to how life began. The expedition reveals breathtaking deep-sea habitats while making a case for protecting them.
Scientists discovered that parts of Greenland's massive ice sheet are churning like boiling water, a wild finding that could help predict how fast sea levels will rise. The breakthrough solves a mystery that has puzzled researchers for years.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Georgia is protecting not just coastal marshes, but the land next to them so these natural storm barriers can move inland as sea levels rise. It's a first-of-its-kind plan that could save over 56,000 acres of future marsh habitat.
After five attempts and 55 hours in frigid water, Polish swimmer Bartłomiej Kubkowski walked onto shore having conquered 160 kilometers of Baltic Sea and raised nearly $200,000 for cancer research. His record-breaking journey involved hallucinations, icy waves, and one perfectly timed bottle of Coca-Cola.
Scientists aboard OceanX's research vessel are diving nearly 1,000 meters deep off Indonesia to discover new species and compounds that could become future medicines. The mission combines cutting-edge technology with compelling storytelling to make ocean research accessible to everyone.
Scientists discovered that severed tissue from a sea cucumber keeps living, healing, and growing for years without dying. These "zombie" fragments might hold clues to understanding regeneration and longevity.
Tech giant Sea is launching an AI Centre of Excellence in Singapore, creating at least 100 high-skilled jobs in research and engineering over the next three years. The center will develop cutting-edge AI models and help strengthen Singapore's position as a global AI hub.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
