Earth"s land is drying as it warms, but it is not clear how dry is too dry
When soil moisture is low, evaporation is limited. The conditions of this moisture-limited regime can exacerbate extreme weather events, including droughts and heat waves. In a new study, Hsin Hsu and colleagues quantify how global warming affects so.....»»
Dying stars" cocoons could be new source of gravitational waves
So far, astrophysicists have only detected gravitational waves from binary systems—the mergers of either two black holes, two neutron stars or one of each. Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a s.....»»
Examining the propagation of ultrasonic waves through liquids containing encapsulated bubbles
Scientists from the University of Tsukuba obtained a new theoretical equation for the propagation of ultrasonic waves through liquids containing encapsulated bubbles. They found that including the compressibility of the bubble shell was vital for acc.....»»
Invasive lionfish have spread south from the Caribbean to Brazil, threatening ecosystems and livelihoods
Brazil's coastal waters teem with a rich array of species that paint a living tapestry beneath the waves. This underwater world is particularly special because many of its species are endemic—they are found nowhere else on Earth. The southwestern A.....»»
New research suggests wheat crops may be threatened by unprecedented heat and drought
The world is getting hotter, causing shifts in seasonal patterns and increasing the amount of extreme weather such as severe droughts and heat waves, which can affect crop yields and food supplies. A recent study led by a researcher at the Friedman S.....»»
