NASA Find Herold a Fading Ex-Tropical Cyclone
Former Tropical Cyclone Herold is now a fading area of low-pressure in the Southern Indian Ocean and NASA’s Aqua satellite provided forecasters with a visible image.
Hidden Source of Carbon Found at the Arctic Coast
A previously unknown significant source of carbon just discovered in the Arctic has scientists marveling at a once overlooked contributor to local coastal ecosystems – and concerned about what it may mean in an era of climate change.
Waterborne Polyurea/Urethanes Significantly Reduce Hydrate Growth Rate in Pipelines
Previously, KFU scientists were able to develop the first inhibitors based on castor oil and chitosan. Researchers came up with the idea to create them to solve at least two tasks: ensure efficient production and transportation of hydrocarbons, as well as reduce environmental risks.
Ammonia Has Been Wrongly Missing In Portraying Air Pollution Impacts
Nitrogen is essential for all living things.
Device Could ‘Hear’ Disease Through Structures Housing Cells
Similarly to how a picked lock gives away that someone has broken into a building, the stiffening of a structure surrounding cells in the human body can indicate that cancer is invading other tissue.
