Ice Ages occur when tropical islands and continents collide

By Sukhman Singh8:32 PMAll Top News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

Earth's steady state is warm and balmy, but half a dozen times over the past billion years, the planet developed ice caps and glaciers. Researchers have now amassed evidence that these cold snaps occurred when tectonic activity propelled continents headlong into volcanic island arcs in the tropics, uplifting ophiolites that rapidly absorbed carbon dioxide, cooling Earth. Once collisions stopped, CO2 again built up from volcanic eruptions and a runaway greenhouse effect warmed the planet.

New research adds to work of Prandtl, father of modern aerodynamics

By Sukhman Singh3:33 AMTop Technology News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

Researchers used both linear stability theory and direct numerical simulations to uncover, for the first time, fluid instabilities in the Prandtl model for katabatic slope flows. Not only will this discovery be important for agriculture, aviation and weather prediction, but it will also be vital for climate change research and associated sea-level rise, as accurate prediction of katabatic surface wind profiles over large ice sheets and glaciers is critical in energy balance of melting ice.

Conservationists discover hidden diversity in ancient frog family

By Sukhman Singh1:47 AMAll Top News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

Research scientists have uncovered hidden diversity within a type of frog found only in the Seychelles, showing that those on each island have their own distinct lineage. The family tree of sooglossid frogs dates back at least 63 million years. They are living ancestors of those frogs that survived the meteor strike on earth approximately 66 million years ago, making them a highly evolutionarily distinct group.

'Nanobodies' from alpacas could help bring CAR T-cell therapy to solid tumors

By Sukhman Singh1:35 AMNanotech News, Nanotechnolgy, Nanotechnology News - Nanoscience No comments:

In 1989, two undergraduate students at the Free University of Brussels were asked to test frozen blood serum from camels, and stumbled on a previously unknown kind of antibody. It was a miniaturized version of a human antibody, made up only of two heavy protein chains, rather than two light and two heavy chains. As they eventually reported, the antibodies' presence was confirmed not only in camels, but also in llamas and alpacas.

Infinite number of quantum particles gives clues to big-picture behavior at large scale

By Sukhman Singh1:28 AMTop Technology News -- ScienceDaily No comments:

In quantum mechanics, measuring both the position and speed of a particle at the same time is not possible. To identify a particle's characteristics, physicists introduced the notion of quasi-distribution of position and momentum. In a new study scientists have reversed this approach; starting with quantum mechanical rules, they explore how to derive an infinite number of quasi-distributions, to emulate the classical mechanics approach.
