A new collaborative study between Reichman University and the Technion reveals, for the first time, how living bacteria are able to survive inside dust particles transported through the atmosphere by desert storms originating in the Sahara Desert and Egypt, ultimately reaching Israel.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers from the University of Bern and ETH Zurich have shown how climate change is intensifying supercell thunderstorms in Europe. At a global temperature increase of 3 degrees Celsius, these powerful storms are expected to occur more frequently, especially in the Alpine region. This research utilizes a state-of-the-art digital map that provides unprecedented precision in tracking these storms.

A new study published in Nature Geoscience, by researchers from IDL – Instituto Dom Luiz, at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, has gathered seismic evidence that could explain a long-standing mystery: what caused the 8.7 mega earthquake that struck Portugal on the 1^st of November 1755.
