Self-powered ’bugs’ can skim across water to detect environmental data

Devices could run on ocean bacteria and revolutionize aquatic robotics. Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have developed a self-powered “bug” that can skim across the water,…

Atomic ‘GPS’ elucidates movement during ultrafast material transitions

Scientists demonstrated that a materials characterization technique can be successful at a new type of facility, and they used it to discover a hidden materials phase. Scientists from the U.S….

Drawing water from dry air

Device developed by Utah engineers with Army funding harvests water from atmosphere, even in arid places. Earth’s atmosphere holds an ocean of water, enough liquid to fill Utah’s Great Salt…

Deep-ocean floor produces its own oxygen

New study finds metallic minerals split water to generate ‘dark oxygen’. An international team of researchers, including a Northwestern University chemist, has discovered that metallic minerals on the deep-ocean floor…

Expedition investigates the effects of climate change off Greenland

Greenland is surrounded by the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans – both oceans are significantly affected by climate change. The consequences are warmer, less salty and more acidic waters, an…

Loss of oxygen in bodies of water identified as new tipping point

Current study involving GEOMAR calls for aquatic oxygen loss to be recognised as another Planetary Boundary. Oxygen concentrations in our planet’s waters is decreasing rapidly and dramatically – from ponds…
