When the crew aboard an ocean science expedition learned that an iceberg the size of Chicago had broken off from an Antarctic ...

A calving iceberg exposed a region that never before had been seen by human eyes, revealing a vibrant, thriving ecosystem ...

Glass sponges are found along the deep sea, providing a hiding place for small critters along the seafloor. For one newly discovered species, glass sponges provide both a home and a hunting ground.

Scientists studying deep-sea sponges have uncovered evidence suggesting global temperatures may have already surged past the ...

The team at RMIT found that when you combine lattices in a structure similar to a deep-sea sponge, your material of choice can absorb more energy and handle more stress before deforming. Using the ...
