Oceans

Scientists who study the deepest parts of the ocean may soon harness unusual new technology that’s being developed at CU Boulder. Researchers there fit tiny electric devices onto live jellyfish, so scientists can steer them into remote places where humans can’t easily go. We hear more about this research into robotic jellyfish.

Giant gyres of plastic in the ocean grab headlines, but it's the tiny bits of plastic that scare scientists. And they've made their way everywhere, a new study finds — including in our seafood.
