A remarkable discovery off the coast of Vancouver Island has revealed something scientists never expected: thousands of giant, living eggs in an underwater volcano. The eggs belong to the Pacific white skate, a species typically found in deep, cold waters. This unexpected finding challenges previous assumptions about the environment around the volcano and its ability to support life. An Active Underwater Volcano For years, the underwater volcano near Vancouver Island was believed to be extinct, with surrounding waters too cold and barren to support much marine life. However, during a 2019 expedition led by marine biologist Cherisse Du Preez from…

Imagine a world where there’s a color no one has ever seen before—until now. Scientists have recently discovered a brand-new color called “olo“, a unique blue-green hue so intense it can’t be seen by the human eye under normal circumstances. The Creation of Olo Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new method to push the limits of human vision. They used a laser-based technique to stimulate the retina in a way that has never been done before. By targeting only the M cones, the part of the eye sensitive to green wavelengths, they were able to…

Mount Everest, once crowned the tallest mountain on Earth, has been dethroned. Scientists have discovered two massive mountains beneath the Earth’s surface that are more than 100 times taller than Everest. The literal groundbreaking research was published recently in the journal Nature. A Groundbreaking Seismic Discovery The discovery of these enormous mountains, known as Large Low Seismic Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs), was made possible through the study of seismic waves. These waves, generated by powerful earthquakes, slow down when they pass through areas of different material densities. By analyzing how seismic waves behave deep within the Earth, scientists were able to pinpoint…

In a surprising revelation, new research suggests that a geological anomaly millions of years ago could have dramatically lowered the Earth’s sea levels by up to 30 meters. This fascinating discovery sheds light on how ancient changes in seafloor spreading influenced ocean basins and significantly impacted global sea levels. The study, which focuses on the period between 15 million and 6 million years ago, provides key insights into a past event that mirrors the effects of contemporary sea level changes—though in the opposite direction. A Geological Process That Deepened Ocean Basins Between 15 million and 6 million years ago, a…

New genetic analyses of ancient remains buried in Ireland’s iconic Stone Age tombs are rewriting assumptions about the function of these megalithic monuments. For centuries, archaeologists believed that these monumental structures, including those at sites like Newgrange and Knowth, were used as royal burial sites reserved for the elite. However, recent findings challenge this narrative, revealing that the tombs may have served as community centers rather than the exclusive resting places of a dynastic class. According to a study published by Live Science, the tombs housed individuals with diverse genetic backgrounds, shedding light on the more complex social dynamics of…
