Models of the flood that refilled the Mediterranean put its peak flow through Gibraltar at roughly 100 million cubic metres a second — around 1,000 times the Amazon's average discharge — with erosion at the Camarinal Sill reaching roughly 0.4 metres a day
24+ min ago (105+ words) When an ancient sea vanished, its return was so catastrophic that it reshaped geology itself—yet scientists still debate exactly how violent the deluge truly was....
Trees are connected by fungal threads beneath the soil, trading carbon and chemical signals in ways scientists are still arguing over — including whether a dying tree can pass part of itself into the forest before it goes
2+ day, 20+ hour ago (31+ words) Feed a birch seedling air laced with a rare form of carbon, wait nine days, and some of that carbon turns up inside a fir tree standing a few metres away....
Biosphere 2 was built to test whether eight people could survive completely sealed off from the rest of Earth for two years — but inside its glass walls, cockroaches and stowaway ants boomed while most of the birds and pollinators died.
4+ day, 11+ hour ago (412+ words) When scientists sealed eight people inside a artificial Earth, they discovered that the creatures they didn't want thrived while the ones they needed to survive mysteriously vanished....
The world banned CFCs and put the ozone layer on a path to recovery. Now thousands of dying satellites are introducing aluminium oxide nanoparticles into the upper atmosphere — particles scientists warn can catalyse the chlorine chemistry that destroys ozone.
5+ day, 1+ hour ago (892+ words) Satellite reentries are adding alumina nanoparticles to the upper atmosphere. The ozone-depletion pathway is credible, but current models disagree sharply on its scale.

NASA scientists found the Moon's 18.6-year wobble will amplify ordinary high tides on U.S. coastlines starting in the mid-2030s — meaning some streets could start flooding on calm, sunny days for no visible reason
5+ day, 4+ hour ago (26+ words) Within a decade, the Moon's natural wobble will conspire with rising seas to flood American streets on clear days—with no storm in sight....
Seventy percent of Americans say they don't want a data centre near them, and a major reason is the constant low-frequency hum from cooling systems that neighbours report as sleepless nights, headaches, and nausea.
5+ day, 14+ hour ago (109+ words) The invisible infrastructure powering AI comes with a very audible cost: a constant hum that's keeping neighbours awake and driving them away from their own homes. By Space Daily Editorial Team · Edited by Kiran Journals Published August 19, 2026 · How we edit…...
Venice is standing on millions of tree trunks hammered upright into the lagoon mud a thousand years ago, and they never rotted — buried in oxygen-starved silt, the wood slowly turned to something closer to stone, which is why the city is still there.
1+ week, 8+ hour ago (26+ words) By the time the current Basilica di San Marco went up in the eleventh century, the builders working the Venetian lagoon already knew something that took...
AI data centres are being criticised for the water they use, but one kilogram of beef can require roughly 15,000 litres to produce — a staggering reminder that some of the biggest environmental costs are still sitting on our plates
1+ week, 17+ hour ago (23+ words) The outcry over AI's water consumption obscures a harder truth: our dinner plates have been quietly guzzling vastly more all along....
Sweden imported nearly three million tonnes of other countries' garbage in a single year — and got paid to take it, at roughly 373 krona a tonne, because burning it produces heat for over a million homes
1+ week, 4+ day ago (323+ words) Sweden's trash-burning economy has turned waste into a commodity so valuable that other nations pay to ship their garbage across borders....
Titan is the only world besides Earth with an active liquid cycle: clouds form, rain falls, rivers carve channels and seas fill and evaporate — but the rain is liquid methane and the ground beneath it is water ice frozen hard as stone.
1+ week, 5+ day ago (1303+ words) Titan’s methane weather produces an Earth-like cycle of clouds, rain, rivers and seas over a crust where water ice behaves as stone....
