An Oregon hydroelectric dam released 50 terrifying-looking fish to “scent” the water and convince another migrating species that the route was safe
1+ day, 3+ hour ago (569+ words) Engineers have been seeking new methods to assist the native species migrating upstream past this point for several years. Recently, researchers tested an unconventional method using only fifty frightening-looking fish. They hoped the animals would leave behind a chemical trail…...
NASA's geophysicist calculated that one dam nudged Earth's axis by 2 centimeters and added 0.06 microseconds to every day, and China just broke ground on one 3 times bigger
1+ week, 10+ hour ago (762+ words) There is a river in Tibet that drops 6,500 feet in just 31 miles. For decades, engineers looked at that canyon and imagined what it could do. Now they are building something there so enormous it makes the world’s current largest dam…...
Scientists expected the ocean floor to move a few inches, then watched it drop 13 feet and release enough lava to fill 65 Great Pyramids
1+ week, 6+ day ago (784+ words) In February 2024, a research team anchored their vessel above one of the most remote stretches of ocean floor on Earth — the Southeast Indian Ridge — and lowered an array of instruments into the dark. Then they waited for a planet to…...
Small rivers across Ohio and Missouri are quietly becoming the biggest flood threat that millions of people living beside them never thought to fear
2+ week, 1+ day ago (796+ words) When Americans picture catastrophic flooding, they picture the big rivers — the Mississippi swelling past its banks, the Ohio swallowing riverside towns, the Missouri pushing levees to their limits. But a new study suggests the greater danger by 2050 may lie somewhere…...
A 500-mile crack splitting Kenya and Ethiopia has been growing for years, and the thing tearing open beneath that dry red earth turns out to be the beginning of a brand new ocean, with more than 1,200 human fossils caught in the middle
2+ week, 5+ day ago (719+ words) In the spring of 2005, a crack appeared in the Ethiopian desert almost overnight. It stretched for 35 miles in just a few days, splitting the ground so fast that local herders watched it happen. Scientists who flew in to measure it…...

3+ week, 23+ hour ago (625+ words) Tourists at Yellowstone National Park’s Biscuit Basin arrived expecting to see boiling thermal pools and bubbling water. Instead, they saw the ground erupting. A massive hydrothermal blast threw rocks high into the air. It spread debris all over the place…...
Mountains 5 times taller than Everest are standing 1,800 miles beneath your feet, and the thing they are built from used to be the floor of an ocean that disappeared
3+ week, 2+ day ago (726+ words) Every time you walk across your lawn, 1,800 miles beneath your feet stand mountains five times taller than Everest. They have been there for hundreds of millions of years, in total darkness, and nobody had ever mapped how far they reach....
Scientists discover a lost continent linking South America and Antarctica and name it ‘Antarctandes’ after finding a rare dinosaur fossil
3+ week, 3+ day ago (576+ words) A scientist examining an ancient fossil unearthed in Antarctica made a surprising discovery during a research expedition. They didn’t just find a dinosaur but raised questions about which continents in the Southern Hemisphere were previously connected through land. A tiny…...
A hula-hoop-shaped sensor dangling beneath a helicopter is now scanning what lies hidden miles beneath Wyoming and Colorado
3+ week, 4+ day ago (588+ words) Helicopters don’t usually fly 100 to 200 feet above the ground — low enough to startle a herd of cattle, low enough to read a road sign. But that’s exactly what’s happening over Wyoming and northern Colorado, where aircraft are skimming the landscape…...
