Water contaminated by the oil currently leaking into the ocean from the Sanchi tanker collision is likely to take at least three months to reach land, and if it does the Korean coast is the most likely location.

Driverless farm equipment is becoming more and more attractive to today’s farmers as they battle short growing seasons and rising fuel and equipment costs.

Dr. Mehran Mehrandezh has his eye on improving crop yields through the use of automation and algorithms, focussing his efforts on making the entire tillage process more precise.

Una colaboración liderada por científicos del Laboratorio Nacional de Brookhaven del Departamento de Energía de los EE. UU. (DOE) ha observado un fenómeno inesperado en las baterías de iones de litio, el tipo más común de batería utilizada para alimentar teléfonos celulares y automóviles eléctricos

A new study from the British Antarctic Survey shows how lanternfish, small bioluminescent fish, are likely to respond to the warming of the Southern Ocean.
