The secret to pigeons’ incredible navigation was hiding in their liver

The secret to pigeons’ incredible navigation was hiding in their liver Pigeons may owe their remarkable homing ability not to their brains or eyes, but to magnetic-sensing immune cells hidden in their livers. - Date: - May 31, 2026 - Source: - Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior - Summary: - Scientists have uncovered a surprising navigation system in pigeons: iron-filled immune cells in the liver that may act like tiny magnetic sensors. Birds deprived of these cells struggled to find...

Your kitchen sponge is releasing microplastics every time you wash dishes

Your kitchen sponge is releasing microplastics every time you wash dishes - Date: - June 1, 2026 - Source: - University of Bonn - Summary: - Kitchen sponges release microplastics as they wear down during everyday use, with some sponge types shedding far more than others. Researchers estimated that millions of households could collectively release hundreds of tons of microplastics annually. Kitchen sponges are a staple in most homes, but they may also be an overlooked source of microplastic...

How pigeons exploit magnetic fields for navigation

Scientists have long known that migrating birds and homing pigeons navigate in part by sensing the Earth's magnetic fields, especially at night or in overcast conditions when visual landmarks or sunshine are in short supply. But exactly where this magneto-sensing occurs in the body—and the mechanism that enables it—remains a matter of intense debate. A new paper published in the journal Science suggests that homing pigeons have iron-rich immune cells in their livers that help them detect...
