An electrochemical alloy sent captive sandbar sharks dashing away from hooked bait, a find that could help reduce the millions of unwanted sharks snagged each year by longline fisheries.
A colossal squid caught last year—thought to be the largest ever recorded—is giving scientists their first close look at the rare and elusive giant.
