Back in 2020 we told you about the QuenchSea, a foot-pump-powered portable device for desalinating sea water. Well, its makers are back with the QuenchSea Reel, which uses deep-ocean water pressure to do the same job.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors,… Continue reading QuenchSea Reel uses deep-ocean pressure to produce drinking water
Due to their unique way of moving through the water, jellyfish are frequently used as inspiration for soft, water-based robots. Now, researchers have discovered that the flapping propulsion system of a robotic jellyfish is not only good for movement, b… Continue reading Robotic jellyfish can suck up ocean debris without touching it
Large marine mammals such as baleen whales play a huge role in cycling iron through their marine environments, directly helping to boost phytoplankton growth and atmospheric carbon sequestration.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Marine Bi… Continue reading Penguin poop is krilly important to ocean health
When it comes to reducing emissions from human sources, we’re at the point now where we need to take a broad-based approach. It’s not enough to simply make our cars …read more Continue reading Weird Electric Jet Skis Are Hitting The Waves
When someone mentions waves, we are most likely to think of the beach and surfers riding breaks to shore, not the waves deep beneath the ocean’s surface. Now, new research has shed light on the important role underwater waves play in climate change.Con… Continue reading Underwater turbulence revealed as a key factor in climate change
In July last year, Saildrone launched one its sensor-packed unmanned aquatic drones on a voyage of discovery in the North Pacific, tasked with filling in ocean mapping blanks around Alaska’s Aleutian Islands as well as off the coast of California.Conti… Continue reading Saildrone completes epic mapping mission around Aleutian Islands
A historic agreement in conservation has seen 193 nations come together for the first time to agree on a High Seas Treaty, which aims to place 30% of international waters into protected areas by 2030. This treaty is necessary for the success of the lan… Continue reading Historic world agreement commits to protecting international waters
A new study has shown that foods that come from the ocean or freshwater, known as “blue foods,” have the potential to address several important global issues, including nutritional deficits, disease, and climate change.Continue ReadingCategory: Health … Continue reading “Blue foods” can tackle global malnutrition, disease and climate change
Green hydrogen can’t be viewed as environmentally friendly if it drinks huge amounts of fresh water, or results in the bulk output of toxic chlorine, according to RMIT researchers who say they’ve come up with a cheap technique that does neither.Continu… Continue reading “Exceptional” new catalyst cheaply splits hydrogen from seawater
If you’re designing robots for the exploration of oceans on other planets, you want something that’s tough, versatile and easy to store in a spacecraft. It turns out that soft-bodied robots inspired by a marine organism may be the perfect choice.Contin… Continue reading Sea-creature-inspired linked robots could explore alien oceans
