Veterinary students at the University of Georgia learned to care for honeybees, which are vital pollinators for U.S. agriculture. Between 2024 and 2025 more than half of the managed colonies in the U.S. have been lost.

Scientists hoped for years to make a machine that could emulate the movements of diving birds, such as puffins, and offer an affordable, unobtrusive way to monitor fragile marine ecosystems. A team of researchers at M.I.T. has been able to create such a waterproof winged robot, according to a study published July 9 in the journal Science.
