The ocean supports life on Earth by regulating climate, feeding billions, and sustaining economies. But climate change is damaging it rapidly, endangering Small Island Nations and global stability. Protecting the ocean is now urgent.

Chinese military scientists have developed an AI system that can accurately distinguish real submarines from decoys, even during high-speed underwater combat. The system achieved a 92.2% success rate using advanced neural networks and sonar analysis.

Agroterrorism is the deliberate introduction of harmful biological agents—such as plant pathogens, animal diseases, or contaminants—into a country’s food supply or agricultural systems.

Greenland is losing ice faster than expected, changing its coastline and affecting global sea levels and climate patterns. Ongoing research aims to understand how ecosystems respond to rapid warming and what it means for our future.

A new global study finds that human-caused climate change added over 30 extra days of extreme heat for nearly half the world’s population last year, raising urgent calls to cut fossil fuel emissions and improve heat safety.

New lab experiments and James Webb Telescope data show Europa’s icy surface constantly changing due to heat and cosmic particles. Scientists believe this could be clear evidence of a salty liquid ocean beneath the surface.

Scientists warn that over the next five billion years, there’s a tiny chance Earth could be flung from the solar system by a passing star leaving the planet to freeze in deep space, simulations suggest.

New research confirms that supernovas can become ultra-powerful particle accelerators, or "PeVatrons," but only if they explode into dense gas clouds. This explains why such events remain rare and difficult to observe directly.

Astronomers have discovered a huge, perfectly round object called Teleios emitting only radio waves from deep within our galaxy. Its mysterious shape and unknown origin have baffled scientists, who now seek deeper observations to understand it.

A new study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirms introners' role, providing the first evidence of eight interspecies transfers via horizontal gene transfer.
