Sinking seamount offers clues to slow motion earthquakes
Scientists have long puzzled over what happens when seamounts—mountains and volcanoes on the seafloor—are pulled into subduction zones. Now, new research from The University of Texas at Austin shows that when seamounts sink, they leave behind a t.....»»

NASA’s Earth Observatory spots newly birthed island in the Pacific
NASA has spotted a newly birthed island out in the Pacific Ocean. The island is the result of a series of eruptions from a volcano situated in the Home Reef, a seamount in the Central Tonga Islands. NASA says the seamount repeatedly oozed lava and ej.....»»
Axial Higgs mode: Elusive particle discovered in a material through tabletop experiment
An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle—or previously undetectable quantum excitation—known as the axial Higgs mode, a magnetic relative of the mass-defining Higgs Boson particle, the team reports.....»»
Mercedes" Vision AMG is a look at performance brand"s EV future

This Axial-Flux Motor With a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World
The heart of any electric motor consists of a rotor that revolves around a stationary part, called a stator. The stator, traditionally made of iron, tends to be heavy. Stator iron accounts for about two-thirds of the weight of a conventional motor......»»
Hawaiian-Emperor undersea mystery revealed with supercomputers
The Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain spans almost four thousand miles from the Hawaiian Islands to the Detroit Seamount in the north Pacific, an L- shaped chain that goes west then abruptly north. The 60-degree bend in the line of mostly undersea moun.....»»
Potential new therapy for inflammatory arthritis
Researchers have made a discovery that could lead to new treatments for axial spondyloarthritis (SpA), a painful and debilitating form of arthritis which causes inflammation in the spine, joints, eyes, gut and skin......»»
LCD panel maker AUO to speed up transformation for continued business growth
TFT-LCD panel maker AU Optronics (AUO) will speed up the upgrading of its business operation to maintain business growth through bi-axial transformation, that is, strengthening R&D of high-end display technologies and enlarging its ecosystem via a st.....»»
The evolution of axial patterning
Body axes are molecular coordinate systems along which regulatory genes are activated. These genes then activate the development of anatomical structures in correct locations in the embryo. Thus, the body ensures that we do not develop arms on our he.....»»
Microorganisms on the Rio Grande Rise are a basis for life and a possible origin of metals
The abundant biological and mineral diversity of the Rio Grande Rise, a seamount in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean about 1,500 km from the coast of Brazil, is probably due, to a great extent, to little-known microscopic creatures......»»
