How to Pre-Order Madden 25 Right Now
EA hasn’t revealed the next version of Madden yet, but you can still pre-order a copy of Madden 25 right now if you want. Earlier this month, when EA finally outlined its plans for EA College Football 25, it surprisingly confirmed Madden 25. It.....»»
Double-pulse LIBS technology provides environmentally friendly analysis of deep-sea materials
The seabed contains large quantities of valuable minerals and metals that are urgently needed for modern technologies such as electric cars and wind turbines. However, discovering these deposits has so far been complicated. Diving robots use grippers.....»»
Researchers find unique adaptations of fungus associated with bee bread
The past attempts of honey bee researchers to inventory the fungal diversity in honey bee colonies revealed that Aspergillus flavus is frequently found in hives. In a new study, researchers have discovered that this fungus is uniquely adapted to surv.....»»
Researchers investigate meridional deflection of global eddy propagation derived from tandem altimetry
Since the finding of their ubiquitous presence in the ocean decades ago, mesoscale eddies have been recognized as key contributors in transporting heat and substances. A common view on the meridional deflection of eddy propagation is poleward for cyc.....»»
How three tenacious reefs can help restore global oyster populations
Researchers at the University of Sydney have revealed how our oyster reefs can provide lessons on reef restoration projects. More than 85% of naturally occurring oyster reefs have been lost in recent decades due to disease, overharvesting, global war.....»»
Research reveals that prehistoric seafloor pockmarks off the California coast are maintained by powerful sediment flows
New MBARI research on a field of pockmarks—large, circular depressions on the seafloor—offshore of Central California has revealed that powerful sediment flows, not methane gas eruptions, maintain these prehistoric formations......»»
