(Photo: University of Pennsylvania) Pennsylvania: Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have created a new computing storage device that can operate precisely at temperatures that melt rocks. This new invention will pave the way for future computers to operate in harsh environments on Earth. Current non-volatile memory (NVM) devices (which include solid-state drives, SSDs) stop…
Humans are causing the melting of polar ice—Photo: AFP courtesy of CNN New York: It is not in the hands of man to stop time, but because of humans in the world, there will come a time when everyone’s time will be reduced by one second and this is because of the melting of the…
Cambridge: People do everything possible to get rid of obesity. Exercise, food intake and timing are strictly controlled, with no medication or surgery being avoided. will Researchers have tried to find out how brown fat can be activated in a study. Brown fat is a useful fat in the body that burns large amounts of…
WMO warned on Tuesday that glaciers and ice sheet melt in Greenland and Antarctica accounts for some 50 per cent of sea level rise, which is accelerating, with disastrous impacts on small island developing states (SIDS) and densely populated coastal areas. Glacier melt The average thickness of the world’s glaciers has plummeted by almost 30 metres since 1970. “The cryosphere…
File photo A report by the United Nations agency World Meteorological Organization said that floods from rains and melting glaciers in Pakistan displaced millions of people last year. The report said that record rains in Pakistan and famine in Africa affected millions of people, immense heat in China and Europe also affected millions of people….
A robot has been developed to understand the complex melting process of a huge glacier called Thwaites in West Antarctica. This robot has been named “Icefin”. Experts say that its melting can have profound negative effects on the planet. But the process of melting in this glacier is very complex. This glacier is larger than…
Climate scientists have warned that the Greenland ice sheet is rapidly melting, which will cause a significant rise in sea levels. The Greenland Ice Sheet plays an important role in the global climate system, with scientists saying the ice sheet is experiencing some of the warmest temperatures on record. According to scientists, if this temperature…
Scientists from the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa in Canada examined samples taken from the Arctic’s Lake Hazen to study how climate change could cause viruses to be transmitted to other organisms. Melting glaciers as a result of rising global temperatures could potentially be the cause of the next deadly global pandemic,…
According to a new study, the melting ice sheet in Greenland could lead to a sea level rise of about one foot. According to one study, the melting of 3.3 percent of the ice sheet’s volume would increase the current sea level by about 11 inches. The causes of sea level rise can include large…
