In 2022, Hunga Tonga sent water vapour into the stratosphere, altering ozone and radiation
An eruption from an underwater volcano released a massive cloud of water vapor into the stratosphere, impacting global weather patterns for two years. This additional moisture led to an initial cooling effect on the stratosphere while also modifying circulation patterns. The presence of sulfate aerosols played a significant role in blocking sunlight, creating a stronger cooling influence.
In 2006, a gold mine became America’s deepest lab; scientists search for dark matter 4,850ft down
A former gold mine in South Dakota has been transformed into a major underground science facility. The Homestake Mine once produced about 41 million ounces of gold and 9 million ounces of silver, but today its tunnels are used to study some of the Universe’s biggest mysteries. Scientists conduct experiments searching for dark matter, neutrinos and rare radioactive decay, while also researching mic...
In 2014, scientists set off 23 blasts to uncover magma hidden beneath Mount St Helens
In a groundbreaking study, researchers utilized controlled explosions paired with seismic technology to investigate Mount St. Helens' subterranean magma systems. They discovered a magma-reservoir located between four to fifteen kilometers deep. This extensive analysis employed numerous instruments to track seismic waves within the volcano, yielding vital knowledge about magma movements. Such under...
Scientists reidentify Ireland’s “Kerry Cow” bones as bear and wild boar, challenging farming theory
Ancient animal bones from Ferriters Cove are now identified as bear and wild boar. This reclassification challenges decades of evidence for early farming in Ireland. Previously thought to be cattle, these remains are now understood differently. Modern scientific techniques revealed the true identity of these ancient specimens. This discovery prompts a reconsideration of Ireland's prehistoric trans...

Wallabies came to New Zealand in 1912; they now threaten to spread across a third of the country
Wallabies introduced to New Zealand more than a century ago have now spread across more than 200,000 hectares in the Bay of Plenty region. The animals feed on native tree seedlings, ferns and grasses, damage plantation trees and compete with livestock for pasture. Authorities warn that unchecked wallabies could eventually occupy one-third of New Zealand by 2065 and cause $84 million in annual dama...
Dr DisRespect vs Nickmercs controversy: Streamer threatens to assault Nickmercs in COD stream

After a viewer asked about streamer skins, the Doc questioned whether Nickmercs was in the game before calling him a “phony” and “wannabe tough guy.” He also made a gesture suggesting a strike to the face. In another clip, Dr DisRespect claimed Nickmercs walked away after being confronted by him ...
Meet Jeremiah Bents, the Minnesota student who recreated Mars soil to test water cleanup
Jeremiah Bents, a Minnesota student, explored water filtration using Mars soil simulant. His project examined ammonia removal from contaminated water in a laboratory setting. This innovative work earned him the Earth Systems Science Award at a state science fair. He received guidance from university researchers and a NASA scientist. Bents' experiment demonstrated a practical application for future...
Scientists turn plastic waste into protein cookies; food can tackle hunger and feed space crews
Researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale are developing protein-rich cookies made using plastic waste and agricultural waste. Called µBites, the cookies use PET plastic from bottles and discarded corn stalks and leaves. Programmed yeasts convert processed waste into proteins, fats, acids and flavouring molecules. The NASA-linked project is aimed at developing food for resource-limite...
