Catching Aerosols in a CATS Eye
July 31, 2013 — Quick looks by a special CATS-eye attached to the International Space Station will help scientists catalog and track particles in Earth's atmosphere and act as a pathfinder for a new satellite ... > full story -
Polar Ecosystems Acutely Vulnerable to Sunlight-Driven Tipping Points
July 31, 2013 — Slight changes in the timing of the annual loss of sea-ice in polar regions could have dire consequences for polar ecosystems, by allowing a lot more sunlight to reach the sea floor. The research ... > full story -
Cause of LED 'Efficiency Droop' Identified
July 30, 2013 — Researchers have identified the mechanism behind a plague of LED light bulbs: a flaw called "efficiency droop" that causes LEDs to lose up to 20 percent of their efficiency as they are subjected to ... > full story -
