The ancient Italian city of Pompeii is famous for its uniquely pristine preservation of the daily lives of its residents 2,000 years ago. While most residents were quickly buried under volcanic ash, two newly discovered skeletons reveal a couple of unl… Continue reading Unlucky new Pompeii skeletons met a different fate
The host of problems to deal with when you’re feeling the need for FDM speed are many and varied, but high on the list is figuring out how to melt …read more Continue reading DIY Spacer Increases FDM Flow Rate for Faster, Better Printing
Scientists have just revealed their findings on what are being described as the most pristine trilobite fossils ever found. The fossils, which show both hard exterior features and soft inner tissues, shed new light on the fascinating creatures.Continue… Continue reading Volcano-formed fossils reveal trilobites in never-before-seen detail
It’s rarely great news when an area gets blanketed in volcanic ash – but University of Barcelona researchers have discovered it has a rare combination of useful properties, which make it remarkably useful as an energy storage medium.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Volcanic ash: The cheapest battery for solar energy storage
A massive volcano has been hiding in plain sight on Mars, says new research. Not only is its sheer size noteworthy, but the team believes it might also harbor glacial ice that could be critical for further exploration and Martian settlements.Continue R… Continue reading Newly found monster Martian volcano might be hiding an icy secret
Geologists have shed new light on Earth’s built-in thermostat. They say shifting tectonic plates that slowed volcanic activity is likely what caused the extreme ice age that turned the planet into a giant snowball over 700 million years ago.Continue Re… Continue reading ‘Double whammy’ CO2 drop linked to Earth’s extreme ice age
Using microwave instruments to peer deep beneath the surface of the far side of the Moon, researchers have detected a ‘hotspot’ they say is a large subsurface granite mass, suggesting the Moon is more “Earth-like” than we thought.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Granite discovery suggests Moon is more “Earth-like” than we thought
The eruption of Tonga’s Hunga Volcano on January 15, 2022, lasted at least 11 hours and produced a record-breaking amount of lightning. The information gathered about the eruption can be used to better monitor aviation-related hazards arising from thes… Continue reading Hunga Volcano eruption produced record-breaking lightning show
Sensors used to monitor extreme environments need to provide reliable measurements despite high temperatures and harsh conditions. Now, researchers have developed a piezoelectric sensor that works at the temperature of erupting mafic lava, the hottest … Continue reading Feel like monitoring an erupting volcano? There’s a sensor for that
A new, Earth-sized planet has been discovered only 90 light-years away from us. In astronomical terms, that’s right next door. What’s more, it might be capable of supporting life.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Exoplanet, TESS, Spitzer, v… Continue reading New Earth-sized planet discovered, and it may be able to support life
