In adjusting the parameters, the team found that their simulation also allowed them to discover patterns in the ways that changing a structure can impact packing density. They found, for example, that sometimes making small changes to corners or edges had little impact on packing density, while ...
Wildfire experts say thatclimate change, causing a long-term rise in temperature and less rainfall, is creating unprecedented flammable conditions that are making forests burn with more intensity. Wildfires now occur in the wintertime and affect regions in latitudes beyond the fire season-prone countri...
A leading theory for the generation of such structures in planetary nebulae is that the mass-losing star is one of two stars in a binary system. The two stars orbit one another closely enough that they eventually interact, producing a gas disc around one or both stars. The disc then launch...
termites, oceans, freshwater bodies, non-wetland soils, are all natural sources of atmospheric methane; however, the majority of methane presence ca n be accredited to human-related activities. These activities include: such as fossil fuel production, biomass burning, waste management and animal husb...
For decades, NASA has released enormous scientific balloons into Earth's atmosphere, miles above the altitude of commercial flights. The Balloon Program is currently preparing new missions bearing sensitive instruments, including one designed to investig
Scientists warn that Brazil's president-elect could push the Amazon rainforest past its tipping point—with severe consequences for global climate and rainfall.
The trust of a boss can be as burdensome as it is beneficial for employees, a new Aston University study has found.
Alphabet-owned Google and Honeywell International on Thursday announced a deal to end a patent dispute over technology used in Nest smart thermostats.
In 2017, South Korea's 5.5 trillion won ($4.7 billion) robot market was among the top five, along with China, Japan, the U.S. and Germany, which together accounted for over 70% of all robot sales. The government is aiming to expand that market to 15 trillion won ($12.7 billion) by...
But there is still a lot to learn before farmers should consider feeding cattle seaweed. "We have much more research to do to determine if seaweed supplements could provide a viable, long-term solution," Kebreab said. "But we are very encouraged by these early results."...
