Emerald ash borer can survive polar vortex
Winters on the Canadian prairies can be brutally cold, but researchers at Western University and Natural Resources Canada have found that even a freezing polar vortex poses little problem for the invasive emerald ash borer......»»
Magnetic bacteria provide clues for the early diversification of bacteria
Magnetotactic bacteria, which can align with the Earth's magnetic field, have been discovered in a new location. Previously observed on land and in shallow water, analysis of a hydrothermal vent has proven that they can also survive deep under the oc.....»»
Largest-ever data set collection shows how coral reefs can survive climate change
Similar to the expeditions of a hundred or two hundred years ago, the Tara Pacific expedition lasted over two years. Its goal was to research the conditions for life and survival of corals. The ship crossed the entire Pacific Ocean, assembling the la.....»»
Sustainability at center of British polar science strategy
With research stations shifting to renewable energy and artificial intelligence mapping out fuel-efficient marine routes, the British Antarctic Survey is putting sustainability at the heart of its new 10-year plan......»»
How to Survive a Devastating Earthquake—and Firestorm
When a 7.9-magnitude quake struck San Francisco in 1906, it opened the gates of hell. You could have ridden it out, if you made all the right decisions......»»
Bird Populations Are in Meltdown
Humans rely on birds to eat insects, spread seeds, and pollinate plants—but these feathered friends can’t survive without their habitats......»»
Scientists reveal how deepest sea dwellers adapted to their environment
A genetic analysis of the hadal snailfish, the deepest-dwelling known vertebrate species, has suggested a number of key adaptations that allow it to survive more than 6,000 meters under the sea......»»
1RXS J165424.6-433758 is a polar, new observations find
An international team of astronomers has performed X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical observations of an X-ray source known as 1RXS J165424.6-433758. Results of the observational campaign, published June 8 on the pre-print server arXiv, shed more light.....»»
New technologies reveal the impact of circular economy on threatened species such as the Egyptian vulture
If urban landfills disappear under the new European regulation, some endangered birds such as the Egyptian vulture will need alternatives to their feeding patterns in order to survive in the future......»»
In burned-out groves of giant sequoias, crews plant seeds of hope; will they survive?
The worker stabbed the loamy soil with a hoedad, dropped in a delicate sequoia seedling and tamped the dirt tight around it. As he moved on to the next spot, and then the next, the hillside of the Alder Creek Grove slowly filled with small clumps of.....»»
How traditional Indigenous education helped four lost children survive 40 days in the Amazon jungle
The discovery and rescue of four young Indigenous children, 40 days after the aircraft they were traveling in crashed in the remote Colombian rainforest, was hailed in the international press as a "miracle in the jungle." But as an anthropologist who.....»»
The life below our feet: Team discovers microbes thriving in groundwater and producing oxygen in the dark
Nearly a third of Earth's freshwater resources lie in groundwater—much more than in all lakes, rivers and the atmosphere combined, and exceeded only by the frozen water in polar ice caps. Accordingly, about half of humankind depends on groundwater.....»»
Centuries-old sequoias damaged during prescribed burn at California park; one may not survive
Two historic giant sequoias were damaged in a prescribed burn last fall at Calaveras Big Trees State Park—and one of them may not survive, park officials and tree enthusiasts agree......»»
A new dynamic probe of electric forces between molecules
Molecules in water and other polar media are subject to strong electric forces. Such forces originate from their liquid environment, which at ambient temperature undergoes ultrafast structural fluctuations. A new method maps the optical absorption of.....»»
Sonic Superstars found great new ways to freshen up the classic 2D formula
Sonic Superstars' vast levels, Emerald Powers, and enjoyable boss fights show that Sega is making a concerted effort to evolve the 2D Sonic formula......»»
Rightscorp Taps Indie Labels to Fuel New Wave of Piracy Settlement Action
After somehow managing to survive years of losses that pushed the company ever closer to bankruptcy, Rightscorp's piracy settlement model suddenly underpinned recording industry lawsuits against ISPs in the United States. After joining the American.....»»
Will the Siri face survive watchOS 10 and Apple Watch widgets?
To my knowledge, Apple has never retired a watch face. Some are hardware specific, others are redesigned, but watch faces don’t leave the . I think that’s why the Siri watch face still exists for now, but it will need some love to stay relevant......»»
What America Can Learn From The Defenders Of Ukraine
In my recent trip to Ukraine I was astonished to see that the primary driver of new innovations in the conflict was entrepreneurs and small business owners. As an entrepreneur, I know pivoting and creative problem solving is the only way to survive......»»
Degradable polyethylene plastics from the nonalternating terpolymerization of ethylene, CO, and polar monomers
In a study published in the journal National Science Review and led by Dr. Zhongbao Jian (State Key Laboratory of Polymer Physics and Chemistry, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, CAS), E/CO/PM terpolymerizations were carried out with seven p.....»»
Tiny quantum electronic vortexes can circulate in superconductors in ways not seen before
Within superconductors little tornadoes of electrons, known as quantum vortices, can occur which have important implications in superconducting applications such as quantum sensors. Now a new kind of superconducting vortex has been found, an internat.....»»
New study explains interaction between quantized vortices and normal fluids
Osaka Metropolitan University scientists investigated numerically the interaction between a quantized vortex and a normal fluid. Based on the experimental results, researchers decided the most consistent of several theoretical models. They found that.....»»
