Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
Everything was simpler in the past. Power plants were distributed throughout countries and their output was adjusted according to energy demand. Power plants…
There is probably no other chemical reaction that is as productive as photosynthesis —a biological process that uses light energy and water to convert CO2 into…
