The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed the highest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica. On February 6, 2020 at Argentina’s Esperanza Base, located at Hope Bay on the Antarctic Peninsula, a maximum temperature of 18.3 °C (69.9 °F)… Continue reading Record high temperature for Antarctica confirmed by WMO
Scientists may be able to detect the presence of dark matter by searching for anomalous heat signatures from distant alien worlds. Dark matter is an enigmatic, invisible substance that is thought to make up around 80 percent of the universe’s mass.Cont… Continue reading Exoplanets could be used as colossal detectors in hunt for dark matter
Using advanced infrared imaging technology aboard an Earth-orbiting satellite, scientists have measured the coldest temperature of a storm cloud on record at a chilling −111.2 °C. The severe thunderstorm barreled across the Pacific in late 2018 where i… Continue reading Severe storm cloud breaks into the stratosphere to hit record low temp
One of [Sasa]’s life goals is to be able to sit back in his home and watch as robots perform all of his work for him. In order to work …read more Continue reading Your Plants Can Take Care of Themselves Now
New research has found one in five people have a specific genetic mutation that confers greater resilience to cold temperatures. The experimental study shows how people with a deficiency in generating a certain skeletal muscle protein shiver less and h… Continue reading Can’t stand the cold? Blame this genetic mutation
New data submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration from Pfizer claims its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is stable for longer periods at warmer temperatures than previously thought. The new recommendations suggest the vaccine is stable for two weeks in… Continue reading Pfizer reduces ultra-cold requirements for its COVID-19 vaccine
[Nathan Petersen] built a Hackable Open-Source Thermostat to smooth out temperature fluctuations caused by the large hysteresis of the bimetallic strip thermostat in his apartment. While it may be tempting to adjust the “anticipator” to take care of the problem …read more

A new study has found that braving the cold may be a good way to help burn off some of that Christmas pudding. The sample size may be small, but the research suggests the ambient temperature while exercising can have an effect on fat metabolism.Continu… Continue reading Study hints at fat-burning potential of exercising in the cold
Earth isn’t the only place that’s heating up of late – the universe seems to be too. Astronomers at Ohio State University have taken the mean temperature of cosmic gas at different distances and ages, and found that it’s roughly 10 times hotter today t… Continue reading Mean temperature of the universe is rising over billions of years
