Scientists used a modern DNA trick called eDNA metabarcoding to map fish life in Turkey’s rivers. Instead of catching every fish, they filtered water from 29 spots spread over seven big river basins. The DNA that sloshes through the water was amplified and read by a high‑throughput machine, producin

Alabama just added four more tornadoes to its March storm records, all weak but still worth tracking. These weren’t the dramatic twisters you see in movies—they were all rated EF0, meaning their winds barely reached 85 mph. All four touched down in Mobile County early on March 12, leaving no injurie
A few strong storms might pop up in northern Alabama starting Saturday afternoon, with winds up to 60 mph possible in the strongest ones. Tornadoes aren’t on the radar, so that’s a relief. The heaviest activity should arrive between 3 p. m. Saturday and 4 a. m. Sunday, according to weather experts.
A busy night in Alabama’s sky is coming up. Two big events will share the evening stage. First, NASA is preparing to launch a major space mission. The Artemis II rocket is set to blast off from Florida at 5:24 p. m. CDT. Weather experts say there’s an 80% chance the launch will go smoothly. Clear sk
