Wind shear is a major factor that can keep a tropical cyclone “down” or unable to consolidate and intensify because it keeps pounding the circulation of winds…
Rusty is a large storm and its slow movement means more rainfall, more flooding potential, increasingly rough surf and a longer period of tropical-storm-force…
For years, scientists have studied the potential benefits of a new branch of solar energy technology that relies on incredibly small nanosized antenna arrays…
The findings have “fascinating implications,” said principal investigator Jonathon Crystal, both in evolutionary terms and for future research into the…
The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) also reports that this was an increase of 6% compared with 2010. In the same period, the number of people working in…
A three molecule complex may be a target for treating Huntington’s disease, a genetic disorder affecting the brain. This finding by an international research…
Canadian agriculture is faced with great opportunities, but also challenged by water-related risks and uncertainties. An expert panel convened by the Council…
Cancer becomes metastatic when cells break away from the primary tumor and spread to other parts of the body. Metastatic cancer is much more difficult to treat…
It's no secret that China is faced with some of the world's worst pollution. Until now, however, information on the magnitude, scope and impacts of a major…
Working with the ISIS pulsed neutron and muon source at the Science and Technology Facilities Council Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, the researchers are the…
While the phenomenon of superconductivity — in which some materials lose all resistance to electric currents at extremely low temperatures — has been known for…
They can absorb vast amounts of oil or organic compounds, yet they are nearly as light as air: highly porous solids made of a three-dimensional network of…
“An important nutritional outcome is how well an animal is able to digest and metabolize its diet,” said Ryan Dilger. Poultry and swine nutritionists are…
In a study published today in Nature Climate Change researchers used the latest emissions scenarios and climate models to show how varying levels of carbon…
They have produced a mutant lacking the ancient bacterial Shewanella-like protein phosphatase known as SHLP1 (pronounced 'shelph'). This mutant is unable to…
“People have often thought there’s no upper bound for wind power—that it’s one of the most scalable power sources,” says Harvard applied physicist David Keith….
