Study reveals how delayed Antarctic melt season reduces albedo feedback
The ice-covered continent of Antarctica is not free from climate change. On the contrary, a rise in temperatures at high latitudes is much stronger than that in global mean temperatures, a phenomenon known as the polar amplification effect......»»
Some alloys don"t change size when heated, and we now know why
Nearly every material, whether it is solid, liquid, or gas, expands when its temperature goes up and contracts when its temperature goes down. This property, called thermal expansion, makes a hot air balloon float, and the phenomenon has been harness.....»»
