New research explores future limits of survival and livability in extreme heat conditions

New research explores future limits of survival and livability in extreme heat conditions

Commonly associated with longer days and slower paces‚ this summer's record-smashing heat in Arizona demonstrated a concerning future for the planet's warmest season. From power outages endangering entire neighborhoods and heat-related deaths rising among some of the state's most vulnerable populations‚ the city of Phoenix found itself in national headlines. As national attention grew‚ one question became clear: How does anyone live there?

New bottlenose dolphin sense discovered: Research suggests they can feel weak electric fields

New bottlenose dolphin sense discovered: Research suggests they can feel weak electric fields

Born tail first‚ bottlenose dolphin calves emerge equipped with two slender rows of whiskers along their beak-like snouts—much like the touch-sensitive whiskers of seals. But the whiskers fall out soon after birth‚ leaving the youngster with a series of dimples known as vibrissal pits. Recently‚ Tim HÃ¼ttner and Guido Dehnhardt‚ from the University of Rostock‚ Germany‚ began to suspect that the dimples may be more than just a relic.

One of the largest magnetic storms in history quantified: Aurorae from the tropics to the polar regions

One of the largest magnetic storms in history quantified: Aurorae from the tropics to the polar regions

In early November of this year‚ aurora borealis were observed at surprisingly low latitudes‚ as far south as Italy and Texas. Such phenomena indicate the impacts of a solar coronal mass ejection on the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. Far more dramatic than this recent light show was‚ it was nothing compared to a huge solar storm in February 1872.

Making menstrual pads from succulents could improve access to sanitary products

Making menstrual pads from succulents could improve access to sanitary products

A method for producing a highly absorbent material from sisal (Agave sisalana)—a drought-tolerant succulent plant—is described in a study published in Communications Engineering. The authors suggest that‚ with further development‚ their method could be used to produce locally sourced disposable menstrual pads in rural and semi-arid regions.

An anomalous relativistic emission arising from the intense interaction of lasers with plasma mirrors

An anomalous relativistic emission arising from the intense interaction of lasers with plasma mirrors

Interactions between intense laser pulses and plasma mirrors have been the focus of several recent physics studies due to the interesting effects they produce. Experiments have revealed that these interactions can generate a non-linear physical process known as high-order harmonics‚ characterized by the emission of extreme ultraviolet radiation (XUV) and brief flashes of laser light (i.e.‚ attosecond pulses).
