Ice storms, January downpours, heavy snow, no snow: Diagnosing "warming winter syndrome"
One of the most robust measures of Earth's changing climate is that winter is warming more quickly than other seasons. The cascade of changes it brings, including ice storms and rain in regions that were once reliably below freezing, are symptoms of.....»»
Team accomplishes precise measurements of the heaviest atoms
An international research team has successfully conducted ultra-precise X-ray spectroscopic measurements of helium-like uranium. The team, which includes researchers from Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Helmholtz Institute Jena (both in Ge.....»»
Magnesium still has the potential to become an efficient hydrogen store, says study
It is easy to be optimistic about hydrogen as an ideal fuel. It is much more difficult to come up with a solution to an absolutely fundamental problem: How to store this fuel efficiently? A Swiss-Polish team of experimental and theoretical physicists.....»»

We Need to Talk About Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Flat Display
Leading up to our full review, you’ll find me highlighting a few things on the Galaxy S24 Ultra that absolutely deserve it. For instance, I talked about the phone’s battery life earlier this week. It’s really good. Another aspect of.....»»
Experiment shows how predator mass mortality events affect food webs
Over the last century, die-offs of animal populations, known as mass mortality events (MMEs), have increased in frequency and magnitude. The scale of these events can be staggering: billions of dead fish, hundreds of thousands of dead mammals and bir.....»»
New research sheds light on a phenomenon known as "false vacuum decay"
An experiment conducted in Italy, with theory support from Newcastle University, has produced the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay......»»
New stem cell research to take flight into space
A Mayo Clinic research experiment will be part of a payload that launches into space from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Jan. 29, subject to weather conditions and other factors. The research team from the lab of Dr. Abba.....»»
5 Things to Know About the Starfield 1.9.47.0 Update

Helium is essential for research, medical equipment, but it"s nonrenewable and difficult to recycle
The next time you pick up balloons for your big party, remember the helium gas in those balloons is destined for the stars. Helium is so light that it easily escapes Earth's gravity, and all helium will eventually make its way into space. Like fossil.....»»

With fewer pollinators, plants are cutting back on nectar production
Fewer pollinators means more self-pollination, less food for bees. Enlarge (credit: Darrell Gulin) In a striking experiment, scientists from the French Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Univers.....»»
Experiment could test quantum nature of large masses for the first time
An experiment outlined by a UCL (University College London)-led team of scientists from the UK and India could test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature, resolving the question of whether quantum mechanical description works at a muc.....»»
Big planets don"t necessarily mean big moons
Does the size of an exomoon help determine if life could form on an exoplanet it's orbiting? This is something a February 2022 study published in Nature Communications hoped to address as a team of researchers investigated the potential for large exo.....»»
