Scientists have welcomed the "impressive" discovery of what is thought to be the largest coral colony on the Great Barrier Reef and possibly in the world. Sophie Kalkowski-Pope and her mum, Jan Pope, discovered the 111-metre-long Pavona clavus colony offshore from Cairns in Far North Queensland.

Emperor penguins face being wiped out as rising temperatures continue to melt sea ice. Numbers of Antarctica's largest sea bird will decline slowly until about 2040 and then plunge steeply if the continent carries on warming at the same rate. Some existing 3,000 mating pairs could fall to as few as 500 by 2100.


Scientists Alert to Increasing Emperor Penguin Deaths 

Scientists are increasingly concerned about the Moon slowly shrinking as its interior cools and contracts, causing the lunar surface to wrinkle and form thrust faults. Research suggests this ongoing shrinkage could trigger moonquakes and impact future lunar missions and infrastructure. The findings highlight new risks for space exploration as agencies plan long-term bases and human activity on the Moon.


Why Scientists Are Starting to Worry About The Moon Shrinking?

IRIS (Innovative Research on Intelligent Systems) is a student-driven initiative focused on AI, data science, and technology to address real-world problems. It fosters innovation through hands-on, project-based learning, allowing students to collaborate, conduct research, and transform ideas into actionable solutions. It emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and creating tangible impact.

For many people, a trip to the dentist brings anxiety — especially when it involves replacing a tooth. Traditional dental implants require titanium screws, surgery, and months of healing. But now, UK scientists have achieved a major breakthrough — successfully growing tooth-like structures in the lab. This discovery could pave the way for living, regenerative teeth, replacing metal and ceramic implants with natural, biological ones.
