Salmon can colonize newly created streams, but face many other challenges from climate change. Credit: Freshwaters Illustrated Retreating glaciers in the Pacific mountains of western North America could produce around 6,150 kilometers (3,820 miles) of new Pacific salmon habitat by the year 2100, according to a new study. Scientists have ‘peeled back the ice’ from 46,000 glaciers between southern British Columbia and south-central Alaska to look at how much potential salmon habitat would be created when underlying bedrock is exposed and new streams flow over the landscape. Modeling glacier retreat under different climate change scenarios, researchers discovered that, under a...

A VIDEO shot from an airliner cockpit has emerged showing what appears to be a fleet of 12 UFOs flying in formation. The pilot who shot the footage can be heard reacting in astonishment to the eerie lights that appeared and then vanished in clouds above the Pacific Ocean. At first, nine lights are visible in the video which then becomes 12 lights moving in formation. The closest UFO disappears before three more objects reappear outside of the group. It is possible that jets could be carrying out wargames because the footage was shot in the hotly contested South China...

The salt-grain-sized camera. (Princeton University) Scientific ingenuity means cameras keep on getting smaller and smaller, and the latest to appear is not only incredibly tiny – the same size as a grain of salt – it's also able to produce images of much better quality than a lot of other ultra-compact cameras. Using a technology known as a metasurface, which is covered with 1.6 million cylindrical posts, the camera is able to capture full-color photos that are as good as images snapped by conventional lenses some half a million times bigger than this particular camera. And the super-small contraption has...
