Sanderson reported in mid-August 2026 that extensive offshore wind deployment could “significantly alter” regional climates in northern Europe, impacting wind speeds and rainfall, according to new research.
Research can help inform planning for new offshore wind farms and ‘should not be interpreted as evidence against deployment,’ amid fossil fuel driven climate crisis.
Shadow Historians produced a video that some presidents swore to protect the Constitution. They swore to serve the American people.
Some of them did the exact opposite. In this video, the editors rank the 10 most controversial and darkest presidents in American history — the ones whose decisions led to genocide, civil war, mass surveillance, illegal wars, and the first-ever attack on the US Capitol by American citizens.
This is not the history they taught you in school.
Chronicles of Planet Earth people created an interesting video that indicates that ancient DNA has revolutionized understanding of human origins, revealing a complex web of interaction between different human lineages. Chronicles of Planet Earth examines how modern humans interbred with other species, with their genetic legacy still influencing humanity today.

Mystral provided a video in 2026 that details the scientific findings from China's Chang'e-6 mission, which returned the first physical soil samples from the far side of the Moon to explain the ancient cause of the lunar dichotomy. Mystral examines the scientific mystery of the lunar dichotomy, exploring why the moon's two faces look so different.
By analyzing unique soil samples returned from the South Pole-Aitken Basin, this investigation evaluates how ancient, massive impacts may have fundamentally shaped the lunar landscape and its...
