Rethinking the Blue Economy: Network assesses impact on coastal communities
Oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface, and the Earth has about 620,000 kilometers of coastline. This is where the land meets the sea, a significant place in the world's geography. Coastlines are home to diverse ecosystems and human settlements......»»
Scorching storms on distant worlds revealed in new detail
Astronomers have created the most detailed weather report so far for two distant worlds beyond our own solar system. The international study—the first of its kind—reveals the extreme atmospheric conditions on the celestial objects, which are swat.....»»
How astronomers are using pulsars to observe evidence of dark matter
Tantalizing evidence of potential dark matter objects has been detected with the help of the universe's "timekeepers." These pulsars—neutron stars which rotate and emit lighthouse-like beams of radio waves that rapidly sweep through space—were us.....»»
Supermassive black holes have masses of more than a million suns—but their growth has slowed as the universe has aged
Black holes are remarkable astronomical objects with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape them. The most gigantic ones, known as "supermassive" black holes, can weigh millions to billions times the mass of the sun......»»
Encrypted traffic: A double-edged sword for network defenders
Organizations are ramping up their use of encrypted traffic to lock down data. Could they be making it easier to hide threats in the process? On one hand, encryption means enhanced privacy, but it can also make the job of security analysts much harde.....»»
