Did you know that the seaweed you've seen in the ocean or even eaten as a snack is inspiring innovators to imagine new materials? Large brown algae, like kelp, contains polymers-long chains of molecules-that are more environmentally friendly than the ones in most plastics. These natural polymers (alginates) could eventually be used to create sustainable everyday objects. Try your hand at using a bit of chemistry to turn biodegradable polymers from algae into your own custom... Read more

An Irish Discovery About Dinosaurs

Dr Maria McNamara (University College Cork) and her team of researchers, have made a landmark dinosaur discovery: the first example of a plant-eating dinosaur that had both scales and feathers. The team found remains of the plant-eating dinosaur, at a fossil site in eastern Siberia. This is the first example found of a herbivore dinosaur to have both feathers and scales, and allows us to consider that all dinosaurs may have been feathered.
