‘Flapping wings’ powered by the sun (video)
In ancient Greek mythology, Icarus’ wax wings melted when he dared to fly too close to the sun. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have made artificial wings that are actually powered by the sun. The tiny…
NRL researchers monitor changing Arctic using sound
WASHINGTON — U.S. Naval Research Laboratory scientists developed Ice-tethered Acoustic Buoys to monitor the acoustic and oceanographic environment in the changing Arctic. The buoys provide critical oceanographic data to improve prediction capabilities of ocean and climate models. These buoys validated…
Study: Your home’s water quality could vary by the room — and the season
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Is the water in your home actually safe, given that water utility companies in the U.S. aren’t required by law to monitor the water that specifically enters a building at its service line? A study has…
Jet stream not getting ‘wavier’ despite Arctic warming
Rapid Arctic warming has not led to a “wavier” jet stream around the mid-latitudes in recent decades, pioneering new research has shown. Scientists from the University of Exeter have studied the extent to which Arctic amplification – the faster rate…

NASA finds wind shear doing in Tropical Storm Gabekile
Winds outside of Tropical Storm Gabekile are ripping the storm apart. NASA’s Aqua satellite provided a visible image of the storm that showed strong northwesterly wind shear was adversely affecting the storm. Gabekile formed on Feb. 15 and by the…
Do the climate effects of air pollution impact the global economy?
Aerosol emissions are dangerous to human health, but by cooling the Earth, they also diminish global economic inequality
How countries respond to weather change
A two degree Centigrade increase in global average temperature will lead to catastrophic consequences for the planet. Humanity has a maximum of 20 to 30 years to prevent this. Having studied the impact of warming on countries in Central and…
