MODIS found powerful thunderstorms where temperatures were as cold as or colder than minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 Celsius) mostly…
“#Microscopy technique reveals nanoscale detail of coatings as they dry” Lehigh University researchers saw a “tempest in a teapot” as they observed the microstructure evolution of colloid-polymer film during the drying process. Credit: Kaewpetch, T., Gilchrist, J.F./Lehigh University Dull. Slow. Unchanging. Like watching paint dry. But take a closer look at that paint—all the way…
“#’Nanocage’ tool untangles (molecular) spaghetti” University of Vermont post-doctoral researcher Mona Sharafi helped build a nanoscale tool that can untie knots of protein, plastic or other polymers. Called a “nanocage,” the advance in chemistry promises to help create new kinds of industrial and biological materials. Credit: Joshua Brown/UVM A team of scientists at the University…
“#Giant A-68 iceberg three years on” A huge iceberg called A-68 calved from the Antarctic Peninsula’s Larsen C ice shelf on 12 July 2017.
