Massive underwater volcano on the brink of eruption, say scientists

Experts have warned that a massive underwater volcano is on the brink of erupting after 2,000 earthquakes were recorded in just one day. Volcanic eruptions can be some of the most dangerous natural disasters in the world, often triggering other things such as earthquakes or even tsunamis. Axial Seamount is the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest and sits …

Mysterious Object Hurtling Toward Us From Beyond Solar System Appears to Be Emitting Its Own Light, Scientists Find

Mysterious Object Hurtling Toward Us From Beyond Solar System Appears to Be Emitting Its Own Light, Scientists Find

Last month, astronomers made an exciting discovery, observing an interstellar object — only the third ever observed — hurtling toward the center of the solar system. The object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, has caught the attention of Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, who has a long track record of making controversial predictions about previous interstellar objects being relics from an extraterrestrial civilization. While …

Scientists Confirm What Every Beachgoer Secretly Fears About Seabirds

Scientists Confirm What Every Beachgoer Secretly Fears About Seabirds

As a seabird researcher, Leo Uesaka spends most of his time reviewing hours of bird footage. That can get quite tedious and demanding at times, but every second is worth paying attention to—after all, that’s how you notice things like the penchant for seabirds to poop only while airborne. In a first-of-its-kind study published today in Current Biology, Uesaka and …

Under Antarctica’s Ice, Scientists Uncover a Hidden Network of Over 300 Giant Canyons With Serious Implications for Ocean Circulation

Under Antarctica’s Ice, Scientists Uncover a Hidden Network of Over 300 Giant Canyons With Serious Implications for Ocean Circulation

A new scientific atlas has just redrawn the map of Antarctica’s seafloor—and what it reveals could alter how researchers model sea-level rise, ocean circulation, and the continent’s past. The study, published in Marine Geology and led by researchers from the University of Barcelona and University College Cork, identifies 332 previously unmapped submarine canyons hiding beneath the Antarctic margin—five times more …

Chinese scientists transplant human brain cells to mice, boosting pleasure levels

Chinese scientists transplant human brain cells to mice, boosting pleasure levels

Chinese scientists have found a way to turn human stem cells into dopamine-producing brain cells, transplanting them into mice and helping reduce depressive behaviour and boost pleasure. When the engineered neuron-like cells were grafted into depression-model mice, they helped lessen symptoms like anxiety and resignation while increasing feelings of enjoyment. The development has the potential to be employed as a …
