A recent study suggests that increasing the size of offshore wind turbines yields multifold gains. Here’s why.

Engineers have been tinkering with different offshore wind turbine designs that maximize efficiency while minimizing their environmental footprint. Here’s why floating windmills may be the most promising iteration yet.

The structures that cement offshore windmills to the ocean floor could give rise to new underwater ecosystems. Here’s an overview of the latest science behind that claim.

All energy production methods come at a cost. Exactly how costly are offshore wind projects to the natural ecosystem?

The Andean condor is more than just a testament to the majesty of nature. It’s an engineering template.

The Pakistani yellow scorpion uses its venom to incapacitate prey. But new research shows that it might also be used to cure a range of maladies, even cancer.

Scorpions are majestic creatures. Here are a few reasons why they are unique in the tree of life.

Brand new to science, this snouted treefrog (Scinax juruena) was recently discovered in the southern Brazilian Amazon.

Research suggests Britain’s most endangered mammalian carnivore may already be “genomically extinct.”

Sonoran desert toads use a fascinating defense mechanism against predators—hallucinogenic toxins. But nature has found a way around it.
