Scientists proved that the sea still holds some big mysteries after capturing footage of the colossal squid -- the largest invertebrate on the planet -- in its natural habitat for the first time.

Although the team’s stated goal is to capture footage of an adult colossal squid in its natural environment, according to ...

To figure out where these surrogate habitats are most needed, BirdReturns uses data from eBird—a community science project composed of birders’ recorded sightings—to assess where and when ...

The specialists performed a system study on the possibility of an inflatable lunar habitat working. So far, it seems like it could be a logical project to pursue a bit more.
