Anisotropic zoning in the upper crust of the Tianshan Tectonic Belt
The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates resulted in the formation of the Tianshan Tectonic Belt; however, the formation mechanism of Tianshan and the construction of a dynamic model explaining it remain to be realized and an integrated u.....»»
MiniLED is superior in VR while microLED in AR
Along with fast development of metaverse applications, display technology plays an important role. miniLED has gained the upper hand in head-mounted VR devices while microLED is expected to dominate in AR glasses......»»
Green future is cause for worry in S.Africa"s coal belt
Miner Thokozani Mtshweni, 37, looks spent as he readies for a 12-hour shift huddled under a carport shelter to avoid the scorching sun. He fixes his belt weighed down by an oxygen tank and gas detecting tools......»»

Researchers resolve decades-long debate about shock-compressed silicon with unprecedented detail
Silicon, an element abundant in Earth's crust, is currently the most widely used semiconductor material and is important in fields like engineering, geophysics and plasma physics. But despite decades of studies, how the material transforms when hit w.....»»
Exploring sedimentary response to Eocene-era tectonic and climate changes in southeast Indian Ocean
A research team led by Prof. Chang Fengming from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS), for the first time, reported the tectonic and climatic controls on sediment transport to the southeast Indian Ocean during the Eo.....»»
Study suggests shallow lakes in icy crust of Jupiter"s moon Europa could erupt
In the search for life beyond Earth, subsurface bodies of water in our outer solar system are some of the most important targets. That's why NASA is sending the Europa Clipper spacecraft to Jupiter's moon Europa: There is strong evidence that under a.....»»

US rent spikes most pressing in Sun Belt and the West
Rent spikes have developed in the Sun Belt and the West, a pattern clearly driven by local supply and demand issues, according to the latest analysis by researchers at Florida Atlantic University and two other schools......»»
YouTube experiment makes 4K videos a Premium-exclusive feature
After a 10-ads-per-video experiment earlier, YouTube seems hungry for more subs. Enlarge (credit: Future Publishing | Getty Images) Two months ago, Sundar Pichai announced a new era of belt-tightening at Google, leading to th.....»»
Exploring the evolutionary benefits of bone weight
If you need to lurk at the bottom of a water body waiting for prey, it is wise to stay motionless without resisting against the buoyant forces of water. To do so you need a kind of diving belt that helps to sink. One large amphibian species Metoposau.....»»
Solar geoengineering might work, but local temperatures could keep rising for years
Imagine a future where, despite efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions quickly, parts of the world have become unbearably hot. Some governments might decide to "geoengineer" the planet by spraying substances into the upper atmosphere to form fine.....»»
Evolution of emerging anti-Hale region and associated eruptive solar flares
Dr. Xu Zhe, Prof. Yan Xiaoli and colleagues from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed how an active region (AR) evolves, re-configures the upper coronal structures, and eventually contributes to solar eruptions. R.....»»
The different effects on storm tracks between upper- and lower-level eddy growth over the North Pacific
A well-known phenomenon in the atmospheric sciences that challenges the classical baroclinic instability theory of cyclone development is midwinter suppression. That is, the North Pacific storm-track activity has a minimum in midwinter, despite the s.....»»
