The Mediterranean Sea is facing a hidden problem: heavy metals. These metals can harm marine life and even end up in our food.

Ningbo's rivers are getting a thorough health check-up, and it's about time. Most studies only use one method to check the water's condition. But this time, researchers decided to be more thorough. They used three different ways to see how clean and alive the rivers are. First, they looked at 15 ri
Ever wondered how seals can swim so deep and for so long without passing out? Scientists wanted to know too. They thought it had something to do with carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the seals' bodies. After all, in humans, high CO2 levels trigger the urge to breathe. But seals don't seem to have this
