Heat waves are not all created equal. While some bring dry heat that rapidly dries out crops, others carry a lot of moisture that can prevent sweat from evaporating off the skin. In new research […]
Satellite images can be used to estimate how much carbon forests store as aboveground biomass (AGB) and how biomass varies in different forests. In a study published in the journal Nature, a team of researchers […]
The moment a nuclear reactor begins operation, a complex chain of events is initiated within the fuel: Heavy atoms split into fission products, knocking other atoms out of place and creating defects that can change […]
Physical access to an aircraft has not typically been considered a cybersecurity risk—but it should be, according to a team of computer scientists at the University of California San Diego. In a paper presented Aug. […]
Charting a better future will require redressing the problems of the past. That’s one reason many countries have begun to return dispossessed land to Indigenous peoples. The goal of Indigenous land restitution is to empower […]
In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers show how a wider diversity of vegetables could help improve diets and strengthen agriculture against climate change. They use the term […]
The federal government is injecting millions of dollars into efforts to combat feral hogs—and it’s considering spending even more in the coming years. The problem has grown for decades, but our research has found that […]
The development of traction batteries for electric vehicles is becoming increasingly complex. Electrical performance, thermal behavior and mechanical safety interact closely and require integrated solutions. At the same time, uniform design standards have been lacking. […]
The U.K.’s pothole problem could one day be tackled from beneath the road surface as researchers at the University of Surrey launch a pioneering trial that uses heat stored underground to keep roads cooler in […]
