This lake in Canada sports a stunning summer look - spots! And the weird geology and hydrology that makes these spots is definitely worth talking about. Plus, Spotted Lake may not be the only one of its kind, and might tell us more...

So we all know about the carbon cycle, and the water cycle, and maybe even the nitrogen cycle. But new research has figured out there's a salt cycle, too. Problem is, that same research has found that we already broke it. Here's what...

Icy roads are a huge hazard, and typical methods of de-icing them can be pretty toxic to wildlife. Which is why researchers have been so fixated on finding better alternatives, from brine to pig pee.
