Life in space is characterized by unique, but stressful conditions (see “space exposome”, Box1)26. Psychological stress has been linked to various immunological processes, including inflammatory processes, wound healing, responses to infectious agents, vaccination effects, and pathogenesis (autoimmunity,...
Renewable energy is essential for power system decarbonization, but extended and unexpected periods of extremely low wind and solar resources (i.e., wind and solar droughts) pose a threat to reliability. The challenge is further exacerbated if shortages of the two occur simultaneously or if they ...
there's the heat left over from when gravity first condensed a planet from the cloud of hot gases and particles in pre-Earth space. As the molten ball cooled, some 4 billion years ago, the outside hardened and formed a crust. The mantle is still cooling ...
” Watch this space. [..] These latest developments will resonate in the Georgian city of Bath, 3500 miles from Capitol Hill. It was in here, over Christmas 2020, that a highly respected scientist was confident – even elated – that a treatment for the virus had been identified. Little ...
A manned mission to an NEO is now under study at NASA.Human space flightconsiderations provide an additional reason to study them. In futuristic scenarios, when they are close by their resources can be mined for spacecraft use (propellant, life support, construction materials) or commercial use...

of severity. We analyze over 19 years (2000–2018) of hourly data on wind and solar resources in each grid cell of 0.5-latitude-degree and 0.625-longitude-degree to identify past periods of droughts and determine their coincidence across resource (i.e., wind or solar), time, and space. ...
Utah's Wasatch Mountains are famous for having "The Greatest Snow on Earth." Snow-seekers in pursuit of world-class skiing and snowboarding contribute over a billion dollars annually to the economy. Snowmelt also provides the majority of water to rapidly
