Explorer

For the September edition, our experts wrote about why ocean acidification is posing problems for shellfish, how researchers used gravitational waves to observe a black hole and neutron star orbiting each other and merging, and what the future could look like — with humanoids in our midst.

For the August edition, we examine aquaponics as a sustainable path to food production, Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, and invasive versus at-risk butterfly species.

In August 1930, all eyes were on Saint-Hubert, Quebec, as people waited for the arrival of a massive, rigid airship named the R-100.

For the January edition, we provide context around the latest developments in aquaculture, Chang’e-5’s samples from the Moon, and how artificial intelligence is helping scientists to understand the behavior of proteins in the bodies of all living things.

For the October edition, they discuss how technology is helping with fertilizer pollution, your chance to see Mars, and how the wandering albatross is helping to prevent illegal fishing.

As an Arctic nation, Canada has a vested interest in what happens in the far North. Despite the fact that very little pollution is produced locally, the Arctic is warming three times faster than the global average.

For the September edition, we discuss cell-based meat, the Autumnal Equinox, and the collapse of the last Canadian ice shelf.

For the August edition, we tackle solutions for making cows more environmentally friendly, searching for near Earth asteroids, and how resilient life forms on Earth opens up the possibility of life on Mars.

Learn about the science behind stinky flowers and rain, astronomy amidst megaconstellations of satellites, and how bubble guns may help the future of fruit.

Pitch darkness, near freezing temperatures, horrifyingly scary see-through monsters, and the weight of a couple hundred elephants crushing you to death. The bottom of the ocean is not exactly an easy place for humans to explore. But that doesn’t mean that we can just ignore the depths! The ocean is one of the final frontiers of exploration on Earth, and robots are the key to exploring and preserving it.
