Colorado"s snowpack is melting at a "ridiculous" rate
Colorado didn't see enough snow this winter to fully recover from the ongoing megadrought and now what snow the state did see is melting too quickly, experts say......»»
Recovery of unique geological samples sheds light on formation of today"s Antarctic ice sheet
In recent years, global warming has left its mark on the Antarctic ice sheets. The "eternal" ice in Antarctica is melting faster than previously assumed, particularly in West Antarctica more than East Antarctica. The root for this could lie in its fo.....»»
EU moves ahead with provisional tariffs on Chinese EV imports
The EU confirmed that provisional duties will be imposed on Chinese automakers including SAIC, which faces a 37.6 percent tariff on top of the existing 10 percent rate, while Geely and BYD will be hit with additional charges of 19.9 percent and 17.4.....»»

Searching for dark matter with the coldest quantum detectors in the world
One of the greatest mysteries of science could be one step closer to being solved. Approximately 80% of the matter in the universe is dark, meaning that it cannot be seen. In fact, dark matter is passing through us constantly—possibly at a rate of.....»»
Right to repair compliance checks rate iPhone 15 an A, Vision Pro an F
Right to repair compliance checks carried out in New York have revealed that many products covered by the law do not appear to be in compliance. Three Apple products were checked, gaining scores ranging from A right the way through to F, suggestin.....»»
NASA mission flies over Arctic to study sea ice melt causes
It's not just rising air and water temperatures influencing the decades-long decline of Arctic sea ice. Clouds, aerosols, even the bumps and dips on the ice itself can play a role. To explore how these factors interact and impact sea ice melting, NAS.....»»
Scientists make gains in mystery of missing snow
A major field project high in Colorado's Rocky Mountains has enabled scientists to produce the most comprehensive examination to date of how snow sublimates in a mountain environment......»»
Acer has 3 new OLED gaming monitors, including one with a 480Hz refresh rate
Acer just unveiled several new monitors during Computex 2024, with some thrilling OLEDs thrown into the mix......»»
Study suggests faster decomposition rates in waterways could exacerbate greenhouse gas emissions, threaten biodiversity
Humans may be accelerating the rate at which organic matter decomposes in rivers and streams on a global scale, according to a new study from the University of Georgia, Oakland University and Kent State University......»»
Microscopic defects in ice influence how massive glaciers flow, study shows
As they seep and calve into the sea, melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising global water levels at unprecedented rates. To predict and prepare for future sea-level rise, scientists need a better understanding of how fast glaciers melt and what i.....»»
New method advances cancer detection by counting tiny blood-circulating particles
A University of Houston researcher is reporting a new method to detect cancer which could make cancer detection as simple as taking a blood test. With a 98.7% accuracy rate, the method—which combines PANORAMA imaging with fluorescent imaging—has.....»»
The oil and gas industry has been lying about global warming for decades—accountability is long overdue
The science is clear: the planet is warming at an alarming rate and we need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions......»»
Truecaller AI Call Scanner detects AI voice clones in real-time
Three seconds! That’s how much of your voice an AI voice synthesizer needs to generate a complete clone of your voice. Illegitimate voice cloning and speech synthesis technologies are improving at an incalculable rate of change and are, unfortunate.....»»
Wildlife officials confirm another gray wolf livestock attack in Colorado´s Jackson County
Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed another gray wolf attack on livestock in Jackson County on Saturday, according to the agency's list of confirmed gray wolf depredations......»»
From ashes to alerts: Science helps protect Colorado travelers
In the summer of 2021, travelers in Colorado's Glenwood Canyon were safely evacuated before massive mounds of mud and rocks buried highways and destroyed bridges, thanks to a debris flow warning system developed in part by the U.S. Geological Survey......»»
Researchers investigate changes in surface heat fluxes on sensitive areas for the slopes of Mt Everest
Under the background of global warming, the Mount Everest region has experienced evident climate changes. Glaciers and snow have been rapidly retreating in this region. These changes increase the rate of warming and water scarcity in downstream areas.....»»

Heavy water: How melting ice sheets and pumped groundwater can lower local sea levels—and boost them elsewhere
Imagine you're standing near the edge of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, gazing out over the ocean, when the ice near you starts to melt very rapidly. A surge of meltwater flows into the ocean. Surprisingly, you watch the sea level fall—not rise......»»
Saltmarshes do store carbon, but their climate impact may have been overestimated
Saltmarshes, or tidal marshes, are able to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lock it away at a far higher rate than even forests on land. This has lead to them being championed as a nature-based solution to climate change. However, our r.....»»
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra leaked, and it looks ridiculous
Samsung's Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra is getting a wild design change that stands apart from Samsung's recent circular smartwatches. Here's our first look......»»
