El hielo del Ártico se rompe, se separa y se derrite, y con ello el hábitat del oso polar, obligado a recorrer largas distancias a nado y sin descanso para encontrar suelo firme. Un estudio confirma que estos mamíferos nadan cada vez más por el cambio climático. Destaca el caso de una joven hembra que recorrió…

How brain cells regulate waking and snoozing is still mostly a mystery. A new study shows deciding factors may come from outside the cells.

What crafted these crisscrossing lines in the #Caspian Sea? It’s a question that had Norman Kuring, an oceanographer for NASA, scratching his head earlier this month when he first saw this satellite image of the shallow waters surrounding the Tyuleniy Archipelago. He and his colleagues posted the peculiar picture to Twitter and asked for help.
