Stretching and squeezing drive the timing of glacial meltwater release
As meltwater drains through and beneath a glacier, it can alter how the ice flows and whether it breaks apart. Meltwater can also cause feedback that leads to m...
New mixing guidelines for dense suspensions revealed
Solid–liquid mixing is a crucial step for many industrial processes ranging from battery electrode manufacturing to pharmaceutical formulations. These processes...
Unsealing cells' 'black box' strategy to regulate gene activation
While scientists have known for more than two decades that all cells use a strategy called RNA interference to regulate gene expression, a new study is the firs...
Exceptionally early heat wave shatters records and brings deaths in Europe
The U.K. smashed a century-old temperature record for the second time in 24 hours on Tuesday as a spring heat wave continued to scorch parts of Western Europe,...
Astrophysicists strike black gold with treasure trove of gravitational wave detections
Researchers from the University of Glasgow's Institute for Gravitational Research are celebrating the publication of a vast new treasure trove of gravitational...
Researchers capture inception of hydrogen-uranium reaction for the first time
When hydrogen gas interacts with uranium metal, the combination creates a chemically reactive powder and a runaway reaction that is difficult to stop. The resul...
