Does a ‘just right" scenario for an EV transition exist?
The head of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation said moving too fast or too slow on electrification risks handing China an advantage. Other EV stakeholders and climate advocates aren't so convinced......»»
Satellite observations show climatological characteristics of isolated deep convection over Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau is a prevalent region for deep convection owing to its unique thermodynamic forcing. Deep convection can exist as isolated deep convection (IDC), which is small in size, or mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), which are convective.....»»

Scientists solve a long-standing mystery surrounding the moon"s "lopsided" geology
About 4.5 billion years ago, a small planet smashed into the young Earth, flinging molten rock into space. Slowly, the debris coalesced, cooled and solidified, forming our moon. This scenario of how the Earth's moon came to be is the one largely agre.....»»

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S20 has reached the end of its monthly updates and will now transition to quarterly ones. The post Samsung Galaxy S20 will no longer receive monthly updates appeared first on Phandroid. As with pretty much.....»»
Researchers reveal evidence of transition from ergodic toward ergodic breaking dynamics
A collaborative research team has reported experimental evidence of a transition from ergodic toward ergodic breaking dynamics in driven-dissipative Rydberg atomic gases. The results were published in Science Advances......»»
Gravitational waves may have made human life possible
Could it be that human existence depends on gravitational waves? Some key elements in our biological makeup may come from astrophysical events that occur because gravitational waves exist, a research team headed by John R. Ellis of Kings College Lond.....»»
Study reveals evidence of violence at a time of crisis in ancient Peru
The transition from the fifth to the fourth century BCE (Before the Common Era) seems to have been a critical period for the Central Andes, a region now part of Peru. Researchers have found evidence of turbulence during the passage from the Middle Fo.....»»
Saudi Aramco CEO calls energy transition strategy a failure
Pointing to the still paltry share of renewable energy in global supply, the head of Saudi Aramco described the current energy transition strategy as a misguided failure on Monday......»»
Construction of dual heterogeneous interface between zigzag-like Mo-MXene nanofibers and small CoNi@NC nanoparticles
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides (MXene) possess attractive conductivity and abundant surface functional groups, providing immense potential in the field of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. However, high conductivity and spontaneous ag.....»»
New EPA rule provides clarity, flexibility for the EV transition, suppliers say
Suppliers praised revisions the EPA made to its vehicle emission standards, saying the new rule provides clarity on where the EV market is headed while giving the industry enough leeway to make the targets feasible......»»
Accelerating China"s transition to carbon neutrality and clean air
China's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 necessitates significant transformations across its economic landscape. Concurrently, air pollution remains a pressing issue, affecting millions and necessitating urgent action. Recognizing th.....»»
Indonesia hunts clues as study suggests Javan tiger may still exist
Indonesia is hunting for more clues that the extinct Javan tiger may still exist in the wild, a government official said Tuesday, after a new study suggested links between a DNA-tested hair and the big cat......»»
Scientists on the hunt for evidence of quantum gravity"s existence at the South Pole
Several thousand sensors distributed over a square kilometer near the South Pole are tasked with answering one of the large outstanding questions in physics: does quantum gravity exist? The sensors monitor neutrinos—particles with no electrical cha.....»»
