In the Cornucopia of the European Project of Ice Coring in Antarctica: the oldest Antarctic ice core
On Tuesday 21th of December 2004 a European team involved in Epica (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) reached the drilling depth of 3270.2, which is five meters above the bedrock at Dome C, on the central plateau of the east Antarctic ice sheet. The ice is melting at the bedrock and it... view more (2005-01-13)

Indelible watermarks
As the Internet extends its reach and grows in complexity, there is a greater need for digital watermarks in image, audio and video data. Using a similar technique to banknote watermarking, invisible or inaudible information is inserted into digital content to thwart unauthorized use and ensure... view more (2001-08-21)

NASA data show Arctic saw fastest August sea ice retreat on record
Following a record-breaking season of arctic sea ice decline in 2007, NASA scientists have kept a close watch on the 2008 melt season. Although the melt season did not break the record for ice loss, NASA data are showing that for a four-week period in August 2008, sea ice melted faster during that... view more (2008-09-29)

Inka textile devices served as business ledgers
