Forgetful fish, telescopic worms and bad air days
In a week where global heat records have melted, we find out how that can make fish life-threateningly stupid. Also, how volcanologists keep an eye on what they canβt see.
In a week where global heat records have melted, we find out how that can make fish life-threateningly stupid. We also dive a little deeper to find the part of the ocean where a little heat proves life-enhancing.
And we bring you boring scienceβ¦ no, not in that way. Find out what tree rings can tell us about ancient civilizations and past climates. Also, a new Japanese mission aims to park nice and neatly on the moon β how different is that from the famous first effort from the Apollo 11 team?
We hear about an unwelcome Delhi resident thatβs taking years off locals lives β air pollution. And what is a βsupervolcanoβ and how likely is it that one ruins our run as dominant species on this planet?
