Investigating changes in extreme high-temperature warning indicators over China under different global warming levels
A research team investigated the observed and climate model projected changes in extreme high temperature warning indicators across China. They found an approximately linear increase in the intensity of extreme high temperatures exceeding 35°C and 4.....»»
Speeding up calculations that reveal how electrons interact in materials
Materials scientists and engineers would like to know precisely how electrons interact and move in new materials and how the devices made with them will behave. Will the electrical current flow easily within the material? Is there a temperature at wh.....»»
Study introduces a cleaner way to produce ammonia at room temperature and pressure
Ammonia is the starting point for the fertilizers that have secured the world's food supply for the last century. It's also a main component of cleaning products, and is even considered as a future carbon-free replacement for fossil fuels in vehicles.....»»
Video: Unraveling the mysteries of clouds
Clouds are one of the biggest mysteries in the climate system. They play a key role in regulating the temperature of our atmosphere. But we don't know how their behavior will change over time as Earth's atmosphere gets warmer. This is where EarthCARE.....»»
The Earth"s changing, irregular magnetic field is causing headaches for polar navigation
The Earth's liquid molten outer core, composed mostly of iron and nickel, exerts an electromagnetic field extending from the north and south pole that protects the planet from harmful solar particle radiation......»»
After a child"s death, California weighs rules for physical education during extreme weather
Yahushua Robinson was an energetic boy who jumped and danced his way through life. Then, a physical education teacher instructed the 12-year-old to run outside on a day when the temperature climbed to 107 degrees......»»
Scientists say they can make zero-emission cement
Researchers on Wednesday said they were a step closer to solving one of the trickiest problems in tackling climate change—how to keep making cement despite its enormous carbon footprint......»»
Mexico heat waves leave 48 dead since March
Mexico has registered 48 deaths in a series of heat waves since March, the government said Friday, as scientists warned that new temperature records could be coming......»»
Ambitious targets are needed to end ocean plastic pollution by 2100, analysis finds
A collaboration between researchers at Imperial College London and GNS Science, suggests that reducing plastic pollution by 5% per year would stabilize the level of microplastics—plastics less than 5 mm in length—in the surface oceans......»»
New method can create aquatic levitation at much lower temperature, has implications for cooling nuclear reactors
Splash a few drops of water on a hot pan and if the pan is hot enough, the water will sizzle and the droplets of water seem to roll and float, hovering above the surface......»»
Astronomers discover rare ‘exo-Venus’ just 40 light-years away
Astronomers have discovered a rare type of planets called an exo-Venus with a similar temperature to Earth, located in our cosmic back yard......»»
Potentially habitable "exo-Venus" with Earth-like temperature discovered
Astronomers have made the rare and tantalizing discovery of an Earth-like exoplanet 40 light-years away that may be just a little warmer than our own world. The new paper "Gliese 12 b, A Temperate Earth-sized Planet at 12 Parsecs Discovered with TESS.....»»
Study unveils strategy for improving mechanical properties of aluminum composites
Particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (PRAMCs), in which the aluminum matrix is reinforced with nanoparticles, exhibit great potential for applications in the aerospace and automobile industries. These materials combine the advantages of bot.....»»
Study finds Black and Hispanic Americans are disproportionately exposed to wider temperature swings
Extreme heat can harm human health, but so can extreme temperature swings. Large daily temperature variation (DTV) has been associated with elevated mortality in studies around the world. Trees and other vegetation can lower DTV, as trees reduce temp.....»»
Packaged-meat labels that show freshness could replace use-by dates, reducing food waste
Patches that change color as raw meat freshness deteriorates in sealed refrigerated products could soon become a reality on supermarket shelves, making it easier for shoppers to know if it's still good to eat and reducing food waste......»»
New nanostrings can vibrate longer than any previously known solid-state object
Researchers from TU Delft and Brown University have engineered string-like resonators capable of vibrating longer at ambient temperature than any previously known solid-state object—approaching what is currently only achievable near absolute zero t.....»»
