Ceiling fans as a sole form of cooling do not do enough to fully ameliorate heat-induced physiological strain for vulnerable populations once the mercury surpasses 31°C.
A new study from Tel Aviv University has predicted, for the first time, the groundbreaking results that can be obtained from detecting radio waves coming to us from the early Universe. The findings show that during the cosmic dark ages, dark matter formed dense clumps throughout the Universe, which pulled in hydrogen gas and caused it to emit intense radio waves. This leads to a novel method to use the measured radio signals to help resolve the mystery of dark matter.
A new study shows California can go carbon-free mostly using current and emerging solutions – but to get there, it must overcome regulatory challenges and scale technologies at an unprecedented pace.
Warming may lead to less frequent but bigger and more devastating hail storms, new research has shown.
Tropical cyclones pose an important risk of death for children under five in low- and middle-income countries, reports a new study led by Renjie Chen of Fudan University, China, published September 25th in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine.
