Over the past 150 years, researchers have seen the average human body temperature drop by more than half a degree Fahrenheit (-0.3 °C). In a new study from the University of Michigan, scientists looking at hospitalized sepsis patients found certain spe… Continue reading Our body temperature is decreasing and gut bacteria could be responsible
Our current climate catastrophe is far from Earth’s first, but for billions of years life has continued to plod along through these ups and downs. MIT scientists have now analyzed 66 million years of climate data and uncovered a stabilizing mechanism t… Continue reading How rain and rocks keep Earth habitable through wild climate changes
Israeli company Green Kinoko is preparing for the first public tests of a remarkable clean outdoor cooling system. The Kinsho system operates like the inverse of an outdoor cafe heater, cooling several tables per unit without using any electricity.Cont… Continue reading World’s first liquid-nitrogen outdoor cooling system set for trials
The relationship between temperature and sleep is a highly complicated one, but researchers continue to tease out valuable new insights around how the heat and cold can influence our rest. A new study on fruit flies may help explain why siestas came to… Continue reading “Brain thermometer” circuitry might explain those summer afternoon naps
The Moon isn’t the most hospitable place, but that’s not stopping NASA from sending humans back there soon. Thankfully, an orbiter has now found a region of the Moon with year-round jeans-and-jacket weather – underground caves.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Moon caves may offer year-round jeans-and-jacket temperatures
Someone has scored a bargain at Heritage Auctions’ recent Historical Platinum Session Signature Auction and we’re quite astonished that in this age of information, such anomalies can still happen. On July 16, an extremely rare and historically importan… Continue reading Original 300-year-old Fahrenheit thermometer drops in value at auction
As an unprecedented heatwave takes hold in Europe, driving the mercury to record levels and causing devastating wildfires across the continent, authorities are scrambling to prevent disruptions to transport services. Railways, airports and bridges have… Continue reading Bridge wrapped in insulation foil as UK passes 40 °C for the first time
When rescuing avalanche victims or other people in cold, snowy outdoor conditions, it can be difficult to monitor their vital signs via traditional means. The MedSENS device was created with that fact in mind, as it simply goes in the ear and gets stra… Continue reading MedSENS sticks outdoor vital-signs monitoring in the patient’s ear
Scientists at Oxford University have developed a novel sensor made of incredibly thin strands of sapphire that can withstand extreme heat and radiation. The breakthrough is billed as a solution to a 20-year problem in the field, and the scientists behi… Continue reading Sapphire fiber sensor can withstand the rigors of fusion and flight
Heat Pumps are an extremely efficient way to maintain climate control in a building. Unlike traditional air conditioners, heat pumps can also effectively work in reverse to warm a home …read more Continue reading Custom Controller Ups Heat Pump Efficiency
