Scientists have discovered jet-black egg capsules on a rock slope in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, revealing the deepest known reproduction of free-living flatworms—at over 20,000 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean. This discovery, reported in Biology Letters and echoed by a related genetic study in PubMed, is transforming our understanding of how some of Earth’s simplest creatures survive—and reproduce—in one of its …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Researchers discovered vast reserves of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth’s crust. 🔬 The study highlights two primary mechanisms for hydrogen generation: water-rock reactions and radiolysis. 📊 Geological settings for potential hydrogen accumulation are found globally, suggesting universal accessibility. 💡 Despite challenges, natural hydrogen offers significant environmental and economic benefits as a clean energy source. The quest …

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted again this week, spewing lava 500 feet into the air from the crater at its summit, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The eruption ended around 8 p.m. local time on Tuesday night, after producing approximately 337 million cubic feet of molten rock over a 13-hour period.  This marked the 32nd episode in an ongoing eruption event at Kilauea, one …

Tesla is under investigation for failing to report crashes involving its partially autonomous driving technology in a timely manner. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requires automakers to report crashes involving advanced driver assist features “within one or five days” of the incident, but Tesla was reporting crashes “several months or more” after they occurred, the agency said. Tesla has …

Believe it or not, your phone’s tiniest vibrations can reveal your conversations — thanks to AI. A team of computer science researchers at Penn State has developed a startling new way to eavesdrop on phone calls remotely by decoding subtle vibrations emitted by a cellphone’s earpiece. Using millimeter-wave radar combined with an AI speech recognition system, their setup can capture …

Rogue waves have captivated the attention of both seafarers and scientists for decades. These are giant, isolated waves that appear suddenly in the open ocean. These puzzling giants are brief, typically lasting less than a minute before disappearing. They can reach heights of 65 feet (20 meters) or greater and often more than twice the height of surrounding waves. Once …
