Marine biologists at the University of California Santa Cruz have tagged thousands of northern elephant seals with smart ...

There seems to be too much of a radioactive element in rocks deep in the Pacific Ocean – how did it get there 10 million ...

Scientists found deep-sea shrimp evolved special vision to detect bioluminescent light and navigate their world.

By studying elephant seals' hunting patterns, scientists have discovered a new way to monitor deep-sea fish populations. These seals are acting as "smart sensors," revealing critical data about an ...

At the top of the world, there is a sea—the remains of one, at least. The summit rocks of Mount Everest, the highest ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer. Some ...

A new study focusing on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, shows that the physics of alien oceans could prevent evidence of deep-sea life from reaching places where we can detect it.

The Pliocene epoch, which lasted from 5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago, was a consequential time in Earth's history. The ...

Because the red, green and deep blue light layers of the tandem cell have narrower color spectra, the basic RGB colors can be filtered out of the white light in a more targeted and loss-free manner.
