New system for turning seawater into hydrogen fuel

Seawater’s mix of hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, and other elements makes it vital to life on Earth. But that same complex chemistry has made it difficult to extract hydrogen gas for…

Beneath the Earth, ancient ocean floor likely surrounds the core

Through global-scale seismic imaging of Earth’s interior, research led by The University of Alabama revealed a layer between the core and the mantle that is likely a dense, yet thin,…

Ocean warming intensifies viral outbreaks within corals

Study is first to document reefwide dynamics of viruses that infect coral symbionts. The breathtaking colors of reef-building corals come from photosynthetic algae that live inside the corals. A groundbreaking…
