Jet-Propelled Sea Creatures Could Improve Ocean Robotics
Scientists at the University of Oregon have discovered that colonies of gelatinous sea animals swim through the ocean in giant corkscrew shapes using coordinated jet propulsion, an unusual kind of locomotion that could inspire new designs for efficient underwater vehicles.
From Roots to Resilience: Investigating the Vital Role of Microbes in Coastal Plant Health
Georgia’s saltwater marshes — living where the land meets the ocean — stretch along the state’s entire 100-mile coastline.
What Is the Carbon Footprint of a House in Japan?

Scientists Unlock Key to Breeding ‘Carbon Gobbling’ Plants With a Major Appetite
The discovery of how a critical enzyme “hidden in nature’s blueprint” works by scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) and the University of Newcastle (UoN) could help engineer climate resilient crops capable of sucking far more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a much more efficient way.
Wind Farms can Offset Their Emissions Within Two Years, New Study Shows
After spinning for under two years, a wind farm can offset the carbon emissions generated across its entire 30-year lifespan, when compared to thermal power plants.
