Biologists drove 19 burrowing owls evicted by a Phoenix housing project 50 miles into a 10,000-acre solar complex and lowered them into 40 plastic burrows — every female laid eggs within a month, and 29 chicks fledged the first summer, because open ground under panels hides no predator from an owl
4+ hour, 10+ min ago (304+ words) A solar farm designed to fight climate change became an unexpected refuge for an endangered owl when scientists discovered that panels cast the perfect shadow for ground-nesting predators to hunt.

The world could have accumulated 78 million tons of retired solar panels by 2050. A team in South Korea pulled the silicon out of end-of-life panels, purified it to 99.95 percent, and cooked it into silicon nitride, the hard ceramic used in bearings.

In a Japanese experiment, toads swallowed live bombardier beetles whole — 43% then vomited them back up 12 to 107 minutes later after the insects fired hot chemicals inside their stomachs, with every beetle that came back out still alive and active.
3+ day, 18+ hour ago (860+ words) A Japanese laboratory experiment found that bombardier beetles could escape from toad stomachs. Related studies reveal how their chemical defense works and why the predator matters. By Natural History · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit A toad…...
