UNCW Studying Frying Pan Shoals as Possible Offshore Sand Source
 About 30 miles off the coast of eastern North Carolina stands Frying Pan Tower, a local maritime relic that looms over a frying pan-shaped, sandy ridge known as Frying Pan Shoals. Treacherous for boaters yet a saltwater angler's dream, the shoals are known for strong currents and shallow waters that have caused hundreds of shipwrecks through the years, but also harbor a thriving, high-producing ecosystem that includes an elaborate web of marine life from microscopic phytoplankton to shrimp, crab, and baitfish, to sea birds, loggerheads and porpoise, to grouper, billfish and sharks.

BREAKTHROUGH: Discovery made from within 2,000 year-old Herculaneum scrolls
 LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 12, 2023) -- The Herculaneum scrolls are among the most iconic and inaccessible of the world's vast collection of damaged manuscripts. Since being burned and carbonized by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE, they've been deemed "unreadable." For more than 2,000 years, wisdom from the only library to survive from ancient times remained locked away.
