iPhone market share declines in China, but these two things could reverse the trend
Apple’s iPhone market in China continues to be a struggle, according to a new research report. The company has lost market share and fallen out of the top five vendors. But there are two things analysts believe could reverse the trend and lead.....»»
X-ray microCT unveils ancient pottery techniques
Researchers from Ca' Foscari University of Venice have uncovered insights into ancient pottery forming techniques using X-ray micro-computed tomography (microCT). The study, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, reveals how advanced 3D.....»»
Warming has more impact than cooling on Greenland"s "firn," physics-based model reveals
Scientists have known from ice core research that it's easier to melt an ice sheet than to freeze it up again. Now, they know at least part of the reason why, and it has to do with ice's "sponginess," according to a new study published July 24 in The.....»»
