Listen: Why ice makes this crazy noiseDuring a research trip to Antarctica, Peter Neff recorded a video of the sound ice makes when it falls 80-90 meters into a glacier borehole. What began as a “silly pastime” of tossing ice chunks down a borehole in Taylor Glacier, Antarctica, has led to a video with more than 8 million views and a collaboration between an acoustics expert and a climate scientist. 🔊🔊Sound ON🔊🔊 When #science is

Mercury Rising: New evidence that volcanism triggered the late Devonian extinctionThe late Devonian extinction, about 370 million years ago, is one of the 'Big Five.' It killed up to 80 percent of species, obliterating the lavish Devonian coral reef ecosystem. The final pulse in this multi-step crisis, called the Frasnian-Famennian event, was its most devastating. But what, exactly, did the killing?

Environmental impact of electric vehicles in China? It depends on how they are chargedElectric vehicles play a key role in China's plan to improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions but, with the majority of China's electricity still coming from coal-fired power plants, many question just how effective this strategy will be. Now, researchers have found that how electric vehicles are charged — whether in the low-energy slow mode or high-energy fast mode — plays a significant rol

A virus ‘cocktail’ could one day treat food poisoningIn a simulated small intestinal microbiome, a cocktail of viruses successfully targeted and killed E. coli without harming its bacterial neighbors. The study shows that this approach is as effective in killing the targeted E. coli as broad-spectrum antibiotics but has much gentler impact on the normal, and often beneficial, microflora. The experiment underlines the potential of using bacteriophag

Water-based battery stores green energy for laterA new water-based battery could provide a cheap way to store wind or solar energy for later, researchers say. The battery stores energy generated when the sun is shining and wind is blowing so it can be fed back into the electric grid and redistributed when demand is high. The prototype manganese-hydrogen battery, reported in Nature Energy , stands just three inches tall and generates a mere 20 m
