How will Nemo survive the sea heat?

Amidst the coral reefs of Kimbe Bay in Papua New Guinea, an unseen but fascinating struggle for survival takes place. It is not accompanied by attacks or dramatic escapes – but by shrinking the body. Scientists have discovered that clownfish of the species Amphiprion percula During sea heat, they physically change their size. They simply shrink.

It's a surprising evolutionary trick that reveals how sensitive even the smallest marine animals are to rapidly changing climate conditions. And it's proof that in warming oceans, adaptation happens at a microscopic level - centimeters can make the difference between life and death.

Geothermal revolution in the US: Startup Fervo Energy raises $206 million for the largest power plant of its kind

As the world faces a growing demand for stable, clean energy – especially for energy-hungry data centers – American startup Fervo Energy is coming up with an ambitious project that could change the rules of the game. The company announced that it has raised $206 million to build a massive geothermal power plant in Utah. When completed, it is expected to be the largest power plant using so-called enhanced geothermal technology in the world.

The first phase of the project, called Cape Station, is expected to start delivering power next year, with a capacity of 100 megawatts. An expansion of another 400 megawatts is planned for 2028 – enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes or run large data centers.
