Refugees face particularly high housing instability, finds study
Refugees move nearly four times more often than other migrants, signaling greater instability, according to a new study published in Genus. Gender and country of origin significantly influence this mobility. Although based on an Austrian case study,.....»»
Survey of 26,000 dead stars confirms key details of extreme stellar behavior
A study of more than 26,000 white dwarf stars has confirmed a long-predicted but elusive effect in these ultra-dense, dying stars: Hotter white dwarfs are slightly puffier than cooler ones, even when they have the same mass......»»
Study explores effects of particle emissions from offshore wind farms on blue mussels
After several years of service under harsh weather conditions, the rotor blades of offshore wind parks are subjected to degradation and surface erosion, releasing sizeable quantities of particle emissions into the environment......»»
