NASA uses satellite data to calculate the amount of rainfall generated from tropical cyclones, and used that capability for the Eastern Pacific Ocean’s Hurricane Willa.

CU Boulder and University of Wyoming engineers have successfully scaled up an innovative water-cooling system capable of providing continuous day-and-night radiative cooling for structures. The advance could increase the efficiency of power generation plants in summer and lead to more efficient, environmentally-friendly temperature control for homes, businesses, utilities and industries.

Rice University scientists are counting on films of carbon nanotubes to make high-powered, fast-charging lithium metal batteries a logical replacement for common lithium-ion batteries.

Heat stress affects the health of workers and reduces the work productivity by changing the ambient working environment thus leading to economic losses. How to quantify the impact of heat stress on work productivity has remained an issue to the scientific research and policy-making.

Visible satellite imagery from NASA’s Aqua satellite captured powerful Super Typhoon Yutu as it moved through the Philippine Sea. Yutu’s eye appeared oblong on satellite imagery.
