The Nature & Science channel covers natural environment changes, earth science and sustainability, including climate change, earthquakes and weather, conservation, energy transition and green living, grounded in scientific evidence.
Once absent from remote forests and wilderness trails, feral cats are now appearing across wild habitats. An in-depth investigation into how blanket feeding bans dismantled town TNR programs, pushing urban strays into fragile natural ecosystems and igniting an ecological crisis.
Walking along Tamsui's Gongsitien Creek trail, conspicuous piles of raw white rice left on stone walls catch the eye. Well-intentioned as feeding may seem, does it truly help wildlife? We explore foraging behaviors of sparrows and doves, debunk the myth of bursting bird stomachs, and examine why refined white rice acts as avian junk food fueling ecological hazards.
Is Taiwan really the world's most biodiverse region, and are Formosan black bears and leopard cats truly globally unique? Examining scientific data reveals the reality behind these popular regional myths, encouraging an objective appreciation of nature without exaggeration.
Growing intolerance toward stray cats in Taiwan demands total eviction under the guise of ecological purity. Yet driving away territorial street cats creates ecological vacuums, triggering rodent explosions and severe public health crises. An analysis from feline ethology and urban management.
Facing controversy over the Republic of China government's relaxation of sprouted potato imports, some fringe supporters actually want to prove safety by eating them on livestream. This article revisits the case of famous Japanese host Otsuka Norikazu, who developed leukemia after championing Fukushima produce, warning the public: when food safety is politicized, the ones who get hurt are always ordinary people gambling with their bodies.
The 1984 Bhopal disaster was not merely an industrial accident; it was a brutal microcosm of multinational corporate exploitation. When quarterly profit supersedes human life, corporate safety pledges ring hollow. An architectural post-mortem of corporate impunity.
Viral social media posts claim that a sunken Chinese PLA Navy nuclear submarine caused catastrophic radiation spikes across the Yellow Sea. Cross-verifying international IAEA databases and regional maritime radiation telemetry reveals no evidence of a nuclear leak.
Have contractors told you that installing solar panels acts as a natural roof insulator, saving energy and money? Many homeowners searching for solar cooling comparisons are enticed by this pitch. However, physical realities and empirical data reveal that solar panels can actually trap heat compared to modern cool-roof coatings.
Household pests like mosquitoes, cockroaches, ants, and fleas often require chemical insecticides alongside physical control. Most modern active ingredients are pyrethroid compounds. Here is an in-depth breakdown of their speed, residual duration, human safety, and risks to pets (especially cats).
In an aggressive push for energy transition on a land-constrained island, floating solar installations have spread across Taiwan's reservoirs, lakes, and aquaculture ponds. However, exposure to typhoons and water immersion creates significant hazards of toxic leaching from heavy metals and persistent PFAS compounds.
While taking a walk in Danhai New Town, I unexpectedly discovered an uncommon and striking insect — the Chinese fishfly (*Neochauliodes sinensis*). Here is a closer look at this ancient bioindicator species and what its presence tells us about urban biodiversity.
With in-depth research by various countries in recent years, plastic pollution has become an important core issue in the global environmental crisis. The accumulation of plastic particles in the ocean, soil and human body is seriously threatening the ecosystem and human public health.
When spring arrives, fleas and ticks emerge en masse. Recounting real-life family pet struggles, this guide reviews the pitfalls of home remedies like sulfur baths and camphor oil, evaluates flea collars, and breaks down topical spot-on treatments and environmental disinfection strategies.
Technological advancement has brought undeniable convenience and efficiency to human society, but at a steep hidden cost. As electronic products are updated at an accelerating pace, we find ourselves trapped in an endless cycle of planned obsolescence and consumerism, generating millions of tons of e-waste and draining Earth's resources.
Following earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or solar storms, officials often reassure the public by labeling them as 'normal energy release.' But from a geophysical and planetary perspective, what does this phrase actually mean? Science can observe and model nature, but it cannot prevent tectonic forces.
Ants may be so tiny that you barely notice them, yet their tenacious vitality and intricate group cooperation often amaze us—some insect enthusiasts even keep them as pets. However, when they become uninvited guests in your home, appearing in the living room and kitchen, they become a serious nuisance. To solve this, many try natural and economical methods to make effective ant poison. This article shares several simple recipes.
As technology advances, computers, phones, and wireless networks have become daily necessities, but "radiation" safety has become a concern for many. Do the electromagnetic waves emitted by these devices really harm the human body? Before worrying that this electromagnetic radiation harms our health, let us first understand the scientific concept of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), an important safety indicator for evaluating the effects of electromagnetic waves on the human body.
Examining global livability indicators reveals severe challenges in megacities facing pollution, hyperinflation, climate vulnerability, and infrastructure deficits. Here are 10 cities with the lowest quality of life.
Extremely cold weather has always been impressive, especially when we see the record-low temperatures in some places during winter. The following are some astonishing records of the lowest temperatures around the world; we have specially selected the top 10 coldest regions: Table of Contents show - 🇦🇶 Antarctica: -89.2 °C - 🇷🇺 Russia: -67.8 °C - 🇨🇦 Can
UK Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary Grant Shapps announced a £4.3 million investment in space-based solar power research. The ambitious project envisions orbiting solar power stations beaming clean energy wirelessly to Earth, aiming to supply up to 25% of the UK's electricity demand.
