Like everyone, I cared about Timmy. We all did. But our responses need to be ethical.
Quantum information theory is the field behind quantum computing, but experts in this field are also applying their way of thinking to some big questions in quantum physics.
Hi-tech green LED lights attached to fishing gear can act as a deterrent to turtles and help reduce bycatch by approximately 40%.
Even when female North Atlantic right whales survive entanglement in fishing gear, it may affect their future ability to breed, increasing the pressure on this critically endangered species.
The toll on wildlife from illegal fishing, bycatch and entanglement in fishing gear is likely underestimated, because it doesn’t account for ‘dark’ fishing vessels, a new study finds.
As it travels around the ocean, plastic litter can harm wildlife and marine habitats in many ways. This study highlights five key hotspots where floating plastic poses the biggest risk.
Quantum entanglement is the stuff of sci-fi, advanced physics research and, increasingly, technology used by governments, banks and the military.
New research shows how the next generation of ultra-secure communication could be possible with existing infrastructure.
Entanglement is the mysterious relationship between two connected atoms. This relationship is the basis of quantum physics, but what is it exactly?
