The NSF is installing 250 ground-based monuments to track satellites and study earth movements in Southern California, enabling scientists to follow Earth's crust movements with unprecedented detail. The network will provide valuable insights into earthquake potential and strain buildup, helping to identify areas of high seismic activity.
In 1996, 50% of streamgaging stations reported above-normal flows, while 29% reported below-normal flows. Record wet years on both coasts led to high loads of sediment, nutrients, and chemicals affecting water quality and living resources.
Researchers at the University of Rochester have created a gene control technology that allows for permanent gene modification in adult mice. This breakthrough enables scientists to study nearly any gene in the nervous system with unprecedented control and precision.
Sandia's achievement of the one-teraflops mark demonstrates its expertise in advanced software applications and high-fidelity 3-D simulation. This breakthrough enables scientists to simulate complex nuclear-weapon performance and predict safety against accidental nuclear explosions, marking a new era in computing.
A Johns Hopkins study uses an atomic force microscope to probe living heart cells, revealing that actin plays a crucial role in maintaining cell elasticity. The findings suggest that measuring heart cells' elasticity may improve understanding of healthy and diseased cells, leading to better diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.
Scientists are installing a network of 250 Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to continuously measure the movement of earthquake faults in southern California. The data will enable researchers to forecast future earthquake hazards and prioritize mitigation activities.
