What Goes On Underneath Your Feet?
It is generally assumed that heat from Earth's core and mantle, due to the low thermal conductivity of the latter, is transferred to the outer part mainly by convection. This implies swirling movement of an immense amount of hot material, which is behind the dynamics of Earth's interior.... view more (2004-07-16)

Climate changes locked inside microfossils
Fossilised remains of sea creatures are commonly found in rocks in the mountains of the Basque Country. So, at some time in the past, Euskal Herria was under the sea. For example, during the Palaeocene period, some 65-55 million years ago. The region was then subtropical, and similar in appearance... view more (2004-03-04)

Mid Sweden University researchers set world record

Mirror Measures Vortex Drag
Airplanes generate trailing wake vortices which can be dangerous for following aircraft, especially on takeoff and landing. An onboard laser measuring device scans the air space in front of the plane, recognizes turbulence and will inform the pilot. The volume of air traffic is constantly rising -... view more (2004-07-08)

Sniffing out chloride
When industrial plants are wrecked, they often leave behind a site with contaminated soil. If it was a metalworking plant, a textile production or dry-cleaning facility, a paint manufacturing or an animal waste processing plant, the soil is often contaminated with chlorine-based solvents. In order... view more (2002-09-09)
