Offshore wind farms are a big deal in the fight against climate change. They offer a clean way to generate electricity, reducing the need for fossil fuels. Brazil, with its vast coastline, has a lot of potential in this area. But setting up these wind farms isn't easy. The seafloor is a complex plac
Offshore wind projects are booming, but at what cost to marine life? A group called Save Long Beach Island (Save LBI) thinks these projects are causing more harm to whales and dolphins than anyone realizes. They say the loud noises from building and running wind farms can mess up these animals' hear
Lighter, a decentralized exchange (DEX) for perpetual futures trading, made headlines this week with a massive token giveaway. They sent out $675 million worth of Lighter Infrastructure Tokens (LIT) to early users. This ranks as the 10th largest airdrop in crypto history, according to CoinGecko. Th
Off the coast of Brittany, France, a team of divers stumbled upon something extraordinary. They found a massive wall, hidden underwater for thousands of years. This wall is not just old; it's ancient, dating back to around 5, 800 to 5, 300 BC. That's right, we're talking about a time when people wer
Office Depot and OfficeMax, two big names in office supplies, are shutting down almost 100 more stores. This is not just a recent thing. It has been going on for a while. The company that owns them, ODP Corporation, has been struggling. This is because people are buying things online more often. The
Offshore oil platforms release a lot of water back into the sea. This water can contain chemicals that don't break down easily. These persistent chemicals can harm the environment for a long time. Scientists needed a better way to find out what's in this water and how dangerous it is. They came up
Lights racing across the night sky in Japan have people talking. A video of these lights has gone viral, with some saying it's proof of aliens. But others think it's something more ordinary, like drones or even just a trick of the light. Japan is no stranger to strange sightings. In fact, the count
Light sensitivity might seem like a minor issue, but for many older adults, it's a real struggle. A recent study looked into how this sensitivity affects sleep and overall health. The study involved over 400 adults, mostly women, with an average age of 68. Those with known eye conditions were left o
Light is all around us, and scientists are always finding new ways to study it. Recently, they've made a big step forward with tiny lenses that can do what big, bulky machines used to do. These tiny lenses, called metalens arrays, can now look at light in a way that tells us a lot about its properti
Lightning is a serious threat to wind farms. It can cause significant damage. Many studies have been done on the effects of lightning. However, there is a lack of research on how different wind farm layouts affect the severity of lightning-induced overvoltages. This is a crucial gap in knowledge
