A Scottish firm is working on a solution, in the form of omega-3s made from whisky waste.

Each year, vast blooms of phytoplankton spread across the Southern Ocean, drawing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fueling Antarctica’s marine food web. For decades, scientists have attributed these pulses of life to familiar forces – sunlight, winds, and ocean circulation. But new research suggests another, far less visible driver may be at work: earthquakes beneath the seafloor, whose activity may be influencing ocean surface conditions.

It's a sad fact that antibiotics are constantly entering the environment through the wastewater stream, boosting the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. There could soon be a cheap new way of removing those antibiotics from the water, however, using plentiful pine bark.

Speech impairment, known as dysarthria, is a very common consequence of strokes, affecting nearly half of all survivors. A stroke can cause weakness in the facial muscles and vocal cords, making it difficult to speak fluently, clearly, or in full sentences. While most people eventually recover, the process is often slow and frustrating, and it significantly affects quality of life during rehabilitation.

Most watercraft spend their lives having to battle with the water beneath them. Engines roar, hulls push aside spray, and speed comes at the expense of drag, noise, and turbulence. Hydrofoiling flips this dynamic on its head. Instead of plowing through the water’s surface, a submerged foil generates lift, raising the hull clear of the water and dramatically reducing the resistance it needs to overcome.
