A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone
Abstract Whale falls are biodiversity oases at seabeds1,2,3,4,5,6, yet their record from the oceans has remained sparse and fragmentary6,7. Here we report the discovery of a vast whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone (4,616- to 7,001-m depth), extending about 1,200 km along the sea floor of the southeastern Indian Ocean.

Catalyst that changes itself could make green hydrogen cheaper
Scientists in Bengaluru have discovered that a catalyst used to produce green hydrogen does something unexpected while on the job: it changes itself. The finding by researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences (CeNS), led by Neena S John and PhD scholar Palash Jyoti Gogoi, could help in designing more efficient and durable systems for producing hydrogen, a fuel widely seen as an important part of the transition away from fossil fuels. Hydrogen can be produced by splitting...
