Parrotfish create a transparent mucus cocoon around themselves before they go to sleep. This bubble surrounds their entire body and acts like a protective shield while they rest among the coral reefs. The mucus cocoon serves several important purposes. According to research published in Marine Ecology Progress Series, the bubble helps mask the parrotfish’s scent, making it harder for predators such as moray eels to detect them during the night. It also provides a physical barrier against parasites like gnathiid isopods, which are known to attack sleeping fish. By hiding their smell and blocking parasites, parrotfish can drift peacefully through the night without constant threats.

Scientists have developed transparent solar panels, also called transparent photovoltaic (TPV) cells, that can be used in windows, building facades, and even potentially in smartphones. According to ScienceAlert, these panels use special materials that absorb invisible wavelengths of light such as ultraviolet and infrared while allowing visible light to pass through. This means they can look like ordinary glass but still produce electricity. According to Euronews Green, the technology has already been tested in building windows, turning skyscrapers into vertical power plants. Researchers believe this could make cities far more sustainable by integrating solar energy directly into everyday structures. According to MIT Technology Review, prototypes have also been explored for smartphone screens, though efficiency and durability remain challenges. Current transparent panels reach about 5 to 10 percent efficiency compared to more than 20 percent for traditional opaque panels, but scientists are working to improve this balance. This breakthrough shows how solar energy could one day be seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. From windows to handheld devices, transparent solar panels may help make renewable energy more accessible and widespread.

In Virginia, high school students are making a difference in their community by repairing donated cars and giving them free of charge to single mothers who need reliable transportation. According to The Washington Post, the program takes place at Staunton High School, where automotive technology students go beyond classroom lessons by working on real vehicles that are later gifted to families in need. The cars are donated by local residents and organizations, and the students, under the guidance of their teacher, restore them to safe and dependable condition. Once the repairs are complete, the vehicles are handed over to single mothers who often struggle to get to work, school or appointments without reliable transportation. This initiative shows how education and community service can come together to change lives. By repairing cars and donating them, these Virginia high school students are not only building their skills but also giving single mothers the chance to move forward with greater freedom and opportunity.

Greenland is the largest island in the world, spanning about 2.16 million square kilometers. According to ScienceAlert, around 80 percent of the island is covered by ice, but beneath it lies a wealth of natural resources that make Greenland incredibly important on the global stage. According to The Conversation, Greenland is rich in rare-earth minerals such as lithium and other elements vital for green technologies like batteries and wind turbines. The island also has deposits of iron ore and uranium, along with massive reserves of oil and natural gas. These resources have attracted international interest because they could play a key role in the global energy transition. According to Down to Earth, three of Greenland’s rare-earth deposits may be among the largest in the world, making the island strategically significant. While the potential is enormous, challenges remain due to environmental concerns, harsh conditions and limited infrastructure that make extraction difficult.
