EARTH SCIENCES AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Scanning Mars for ancient oceans through seismic waves, scientists found one stretching thousands of miles beneath the surface, but not the kind anyone expected since it formed from cooling molten rock pooling silently across an entire hemisphere

Scanning Mars for ancient oceans through seismic waves, scientists found one stretching thousands of miles beneath the surface, but not the kind anyone expected since it formed from cooling molten rock pooling silently across an entire hemisphere
Mars has long been cast as a geological afterthought — a cold, quiet world where volcanism was modest, short-lived, and far less dramatic than the churning processes that shaped Earth. Without plate tectonics, scientists assumed its crust formed simply, leaving behind little more than isolated volcanoes frozen in time. But seismic data collected from deep ... Read more

A 75 foot tour boat sat on the reef 60 feet outside a Honolulu harbor mouth for 10 days, but the coral it came down on was already so thin that the damage was mostly to bare rock

A 75 foot tour boat sat on the reef 60 feet outside a Honolulu harbor mouth for 10 days, but the coral it came down on was already so thin that the damage was mostly to bare rock
The channel markers are one boat length away. That is the detail people kept coming back to. Deep water, marked and buoyed, right there, and the hull is on brown rock in four feet of surge with waves breaking against its side. On a calm morning a swimmer could cross it in a minute. The gap between ... Read more

ENERGY SOLAR AND RENEWABLE SYSTEMS

Researchers gave a plain black solar panel a liquid-crystal “jacket” that sweeps through the colors of the rainbow as it warms, while still keeping 88% of its original power

Researchers gave a plain black solar panel a liquid-crystal “jacket” that sweeps through the colors of the rainbow as it warms, while still keeping 88% of its original power
A new kind of solar panel changes colors as it starts heating up, and not much is lost in terms of efficiency in the process. The device may bridge the gap between aesthetics and functionality, which has been an issue for as long as the technology has existed. The panels could even imitate other kinds ... Read more

A floating wind turbine tilted its rotor like a helicopter and entered the water in the Netherlands, where engineers are studying what that strange angle can do that an ordinary upright machine cannot

A floating wind turbine tilted its rotor like a helicopter and entered the water in the Netherlands, where engineers are studying what that strange angle can do that an ordinary upright machine cannot
A brackish lake in South Holland, cut off from the sea by a dam, flat as a table. Something is floating on it that does not look like a wind turbine at all. The rotor is tipped back at an angle, closer to a helicopter disc than to the upright wheel on every tower inland. ... Read more

People sealed in a windowless Bavarian bunker drifted onto a 25 hour day across 418 separate runs, while the body clock they were measuring turns out to be 11 minutes over 24

People sealed in a windowless Bavarian bunker drifted onto a 25 hour day across 418 separate runs, while the body clock they were measuring turns out to be 11 minutes over 24
A bed, a table, a chair, an exercise bike. A kitchenette, a bathroom through the far wall. No window. No radio. No newspaper. No clock, and no hands on the one left on the shelf as furniture. Two steel doors at the entrance, and only one can be opened at a time. Everything in the room was ... Read more
