The de-icing properties of polar bear sebum could fuel new innovations, scientists say, potentially unlocking alternatives to harmful “forever chemicals” used in ice-resistant coatings today ...
Polar bears are struggling to survive as sea ice dwindles. Scientists have now quantified how much climate change has drastically reduced the number of polar bears living in Canada's Hudson Bay ...
Polar bears are masters of survival in one of the harshest environments on Earth. With temperatures plummeting well below freezing and a habitat that consists largely of ice and water, these ...
U of T Scarborough researchers have directly linked population decline in polar bears living in Western Hudson Bay to shrinking sea ice caused by climate change. The researchers developed a model that ...
Subscribe for FREE Experiments confirmed these theoretical findings, measuring ice adhesion strength before and after the fur’s natural oils were removed. Researchers found that untreated polar bear ...
