Ocean conservation needs strong relationships, not just targets
Ocean conservation needs strong relationships, not just targets Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor With World Oceans Day coming up on June 8, policymakers and researchers will be thinking about the state of the ocean and efforts to protect marine environments. There is no shortage of global objectives and targets to drive those conversations. The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–30) has advanced 10 challenges to drive action.
Medicinal plants yield carbon nanoparticles that glow red and flag toxic metals
Medicinal plants yield carbon nanoparticles that glow red and flag toxic metals Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor What do iron, lead and nickel have in common? These heavy metals are an indispensable part of many industries. However, they also share a dark reality: They are serious environmental and public health threats.

New method turns ocean water into drinking water, without waste
The energy-efficient desalination system produces fresh water without chemical additives and transforms leftover salts into useful materials. Big takeaways A new desalination method produces drinking water from seawater without chemical additives. The solar-powered system uses specially engineered black metal to absorb sunlight.
Majestic manta rays dive deep to survive storm events, data reveal
Majestic manta rays dive deep to survive storm events, data reveal Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor New research led by the University of the Sunshine Coast has found that reef manta rays are diving deep in storm events to find food and stay alive. As World Environment Day is celebrated around the globe on June 5, the findings offer hope for the future of a species listed as vulnerable to extinction. Lead author Anna Knochel said the team was surprised to record no...
'A pretty significant setback': How Blue Origin's rocket explosion affects NASA's moon plans
'A pretty significant setback': How Blue Origin's rocket explosion affects NASA's moon plans The shockwaves from Thursday's explosion will reverberate all the way to the moon. The recent explosion of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket during a routine test is a big setback for the private spaceflight company, and will likely have implications for NASA's Artemis program timeline and the nation's efforts to return astronauts to the surface of the moon. The May 28 incident, in which no one was...
Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
Giant fire tornadoes could clean up oil spills faster with less pollution
Giant fire tornadoes could clean up oil spills faster with less pollution What if one of the best ways to fight an oil spill is with a controlled fire tornado? - Date: - June 5, 2026 - Source: - Texas A&M University - Summary: - Researchers have shown that controlled fire whirls can clean up oil spills faster and more cleanly than traditional burning methods.
Dino-killing asteroid may have fueled underground life for 8 million years
Dino-killing asteroid may have fueled underground life for 8 million years Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs also created an underground environment suited to supporting new life, and new research suggests it lasted for millions of years longer than previously suspected. The finding has surprised the international team of researchers behind it, who came to their conclusions by pairing sophisticated new analysis...
