Bowhead whales have a 24-hour diving cycle and were found to simultaneously dive even when separated by a hundred kilometers. 

Jumpstarting male fertility

Scientists found a protein that translates electric signals into chemical signals for promoting proper sperm maturation.

Shocking revelation
Demystifying black hole turbulence
Using supercomputers, researchers recreated the turbulence in the disk-shaped gas surrounding black holes to understand their physical effects. 

Shrimp to steel

Researchers developed an energy-efficient method of producing metallic structures. It mimics the process that insects and lobsters use to create their shells.  

Inspiring nature
