Salt more important than cold polar temperatures in sea ice formation
When polar seas freeze and ice forms, it is not only due to cold air chilling the surface of the water. Even more important is that warm water is prevented from rising to the surface from the depths of the ocean, due to the much lower salinity of the.....»»
Lettuce again on the Florida menu to slow manatee starvation
Lettuce will be on the menu again this year for Florida manatees as part of an effort to slow the starvation deaths of the beloved marine mammals, wildlife officials said Wednesday......»»
Study reveals co-evolution of Indian Summer Monsoon and Antarctic Intermediate Water
The Last Deglacial (~19 ka BP ~ 11.5 ka BP) is the period of transition from the last major ice age to the warm period in the evolution of Earth's climate......»»
Researchers use random numbers to precisely describe the warm dense hydrogen found in some planet interiors
Discovering the properties of quantum systems that are made of many interacting particles is still a huge challenge. While the underlying mathematical equations have been long known, they are too complex to be solved in practice. Breaking that barrie.....»»

Social mammals evolve faster than solitary ones, according to new study of evolution
A groundbreaking new research project has analyzed the evolution of the placental mammal skull using 3D scans of 322 specimens housed in more than 20 international museum collections, and crafted a new model of how mammals diversified based on the em.....»»
Lamin C facilitates repair of damaged nuclear envelope in human and mouse cells
All living cells harbor nuclei—key biological structures that play an important role in information storage, retrieval, and duplication of genetic information. In mammals, these nuclei possess the nuclear envelope (NE)—the biological shield that.....»»
Earth on track to warm above 2 degrees Celsius despite climate action
Government plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions aren't enough to avoid catastrophic global warming, with the planet on track to heat up between 2.1 and 2.9 degrees Celsius by the end of the century compared to pre-industrial times, according to a ne.....»»
