September 26, 2025 -

The open ocean has always been a battleground between humans and predators, but now science is giving swimmers and surfers a fighting chance. Australian researchers have tested four bite-resistant wetsuit materials against white and tiger sharks—two of the deadliest species—and found that all significantly reduced severe injuries compared to standard neoprene. While no suit can eliminate risk entirely, these breakthrough fabrics could mean the difference ...

Roughing it is easier with a pocket chainsaw

February 15, 2018 -

Do keep in mind that you're going to act as the "engine" for the pocket chainsaw and using it will require more effort than when you're cutting wood. While this tool requires some manual labor, it's handy when you're in a survival scenario.  The effort you exert when using the pocket chainsaw will keep you warm and give you a good workout. A pocket chainsaw is also the best tool if you need to cut wood to build a shelter, need firewood, or if you need to clear an obstacle ...

The new shark, known as the American pocket shark (Mollisquama mississippiensis), is only the second species of pocket shark to be identified by marine scientists. It was first discovered in the central Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and it wasn't classified until 2019. The specimen of American pocket shark marine scientists were able to retrieve was only 5.5 inches long and resided deep underneath the ocean at a depth of 1,100 feet below the surface.

Prepping basics: Tips for building a pocket survival kit

August 31, 2019 -

As the name implies, a pocket survival kit (PSK) is a small container packed with essential survival items. Your PSK should be small enough to carry comfortably on your person, ensuring that it's on hand when disaster strikes, especially when you're outdoors.

Like a bug-out bag (BOB), preparing a PSK means you must choose from many options that will depend on your budget, skills, the location where you may use the kit, and any threats that you may encounter there.Do ...

Industrial fishing to blame for decline in shark numbers, says study

June 18, 2020 -

Sharks and the dangers of industrial fishing

Findings from the study, which were published in PLOS Biology, showed that sharks are rarer in habitats closer to large human populations and fish markets. Researchers also discovered that the average body size of sharks and other marine predators were significantly smaller in these locations because the animals are often caught and killed for their meat and fins.

Humans are hunting and killing sharks faster than the animals can ...

In Big Pharma’s pocket: Biased Wikipedia “editors” spread LIES about natural medicine

October 07, 2021 -

According to Jimmy Wales, co-founder of the online encyclopedia, their website promotes high standards of objectivity and balance among its editors. But in the case of Complementary and Alternative Medical (CAM) systems, the editors of the website took a biased stance.

"Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as 'natural', 'non-invasive', or promoting 'self-healing'. The ideology ...

Scientist tests “shark-proof” wet suit by trying to get bitten on purpose

April 19, 2020 -

For marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan, a trip to the beach involves something far more extreme: thrusting his arm inside a shark’s gaping, teeth-lined mouth.

Sullivan rose to prominence in the 1970s after he designed a "shark-proof" wet suit made out of lightweight chainmail. His design, patented in the 1980s, has since become the template for many other similar suits.

According to Sullivan, who is known among the diving and marine biology circles as a pioneer ...

Killer whales are now removing and eating SHARK LIVERS with astonishing surgical precision

June 29, 2017 -

The first incident was recorded in early May, when a 15-foot, 1-ton great white washed up on the shore in Gansbaai. The following day, a dead great white shark measuring 12 feet was spotted along the same shore. A third great white shark was seen dead three days after.

The remains of all four sharks were uneaten, except for their missing livers that were removed with characteristic surgical precision. Experts inferred that pods of killer whales or orcas residing in the southern ...

Researchers discover huge freshwater pocket off the East Coast, beneath the sea coast

March 01, 2020 -

An aquifer is an underground layer of water. This particular aquifer's exact size is still unclear, but the researchers believe it has the potential to be the largest known aquifer to date. For comparison, the largest currently known aquifer is the Great Artesian Basin in Australia, which stretches over 22 percent of Australia, covering approximately 670,000 square miles, and at its deepest, can reach as far as 1,600 feet below the surface. Similar aquifers of varying sizes are ...

Shark and camel blood contain antibodies that could be used to treat brain diseases

July 03, 2018 -

Compared to human antibodies, the antibodies of these animals are much smaller. Their antibodies are composed of two large pieces known as heavy chains. By contrast, two heavy chains and two light chains or smaller pieces make up human antibodies. While smaller in size, the animal antibodies aren’t any less effective and are, in fact, much more potent thanks to their undersized bulk.

Being tiny in comparison to conventional antibodies means that these miniature ones can ...

Portable wind turbine fits in your backpack’s side pocket, charges your electronic devices off-grid

June 10, 2021 -

Called the Shine Turbine Wind Charger, the 40-watt turbine works the same way as the massive wind turbines that dot the countryside. The difference comes down to the size and weight. According to Halifax-based company Aurea Technologies, its three-pound turbine is as lightweight as a small toaster and is small enough to fit in the side pocket of a hiking backpack.

It is equipped with three 23-inch-long collapsible blades, as well as a mount, pegs and reflective guy-wires ...

Discovery Channel broadcasts FAKE race between Michael Phelps and a Great White shark… it never actually happened

July 25, 2017 -

Given the name of the show, “Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White”, it’s understandable that some people were expecting one of the world’s greatest swimmers to hop into the ocean and compete for glory against a giant, terrifying shark. Even the promotional material was a bit ambiguous, with one press release saying: “The world’s most decorated athlete takes on the ocean’s most efficient predator: Phelps V Shark ― the race is on!”

The one-hour special played it up, ...

Rubbish robot released in the U.K.: Aquatic drone “shark” swallows plastic waste in effort to reduce ocean pollution

July 16, 2019 -

Ilfracombe Harbor, Devon recently hosted the first test run of the drone in the U.K. Earlier launches took place in South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, and three other countries.

The batteries of the robot shark let it swim for 3 miles (5 km) or eight hours straight before it needs to recharge. It can bring back as much as 130 lbs (60 kg) of plastic trash at the end of each trip into the harbor.

Dutch green tech company RanMarine based the WasteShark on the whale ...
