Effects of organic matter input and temperature change on soil aggregate-associated respiration and microbial carbon use
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is one of the most dramatically affected regions by global warming. For a long time, the region has been exposed by low temperature and soil moisture, which led to the severe inhibition of the soil biological activities and.....»»
Feds expand investigation into Honda’s automatic emergency braking system
3 million Honda Accords and CR-Vs are fitted with Collision Mitigation Braking System. Enlarge / Honda's forward collision warning system has always been sensitive. Now the NHTSA is investigating some Hondas for false-positive au.....»»
Machine learning could help reveal undiscovered particles within data from the Large Hadron Collider
Scientists used a neural network, a type of brain-inspired machine learning algorithm, to sift through large volumes of particle collision data. Particle physicists are tasked with mining this massive and growing store of collision data for evidence.....»»
What"s the earliest the moon could have formed?
Astronomers are pretty sure they know where the moon came from. In the early solar system, a Mars-sized object dubbed Theia smashed into Earth. This cataclysmic collision knocked a huge mass of material into orbit, which coalesced and cooled into the.....»»

Abrupt climate fluctuations in Tibet as imprints of multiple meltwater events during the early to mid-Holocene
A recent study published in the journal Science Bulletin was led by Dr. Shugui Hou (Nanjing University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University) and Dr. Hongxi Pang (Nanjing University). Shugui Hou drilled an ice core with a length of 127.8 m from the Zangs.....»»
Baltimore bridge collapses after ship collision; auto shipping hub operations face disruption
The port handles imports and exports for major automakers including Nissan, Toyota, General Motors, Volvo, Jaguar Land Rover and the Volkswagen group — including luxury models for Audi, Lamborghini and Bentley......»»
First baby right whale of season dies from injuries caused by ship collision

What makes black holes grow and new stars form? Machine learning helps solve the mystery
When they are active, supermassive black holes play a crucial role in the way galaxies evolve. Until now, growth was thought to be triggered by the violent collision of two galaxies followed by their merger; however, new research led by the Universit.....»»
1 Thing We"re Talking About: Targeting young people for collision repair careers
The Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair — I-CAR for short — has a new digital advertising campaign to lure young people to consider a career in the industry. It is estimated that 100,000 skilled collision repair technicians are cur.....»»
10 years preparing for "Armageddon"
It's a scenario made famous by the 1998 film "Armageddon": an asteroid is spotted on a collision course with Earth, and experts scramble to plan a space mission to rendezvous with the asteroid and mitigate the danger. It's classic science fiction, bu.....»»
Ancient rocks improve understanding of tectonic activity between earthquakes
Rocks once buried deep in ancient subduction zones—where tectonic plates collide—could help scientists make better predictions of how these zones behave during the years between major earthquakes, according to a research team from Penn State and.....»»
