Almost all of Africa’s maize crop is at risk from the devastating fall armyworm pest (Spodoptera frugiperda) according to new research published in the journal Frontiers in Insect Science.
New Multidisciplinary Project Will Help Forecast Where and When Deadly Disease Outbreaks Are Likely to Occur
DART (Dengue Advanced Readiness Tools), a new project led by Oxford University, has received funding from Wellcome to use climate data to better predict and prepare for infectious diseases outbreaks.
Flying Campaign to Improve Climate Modelling Begins
A team of scientists are currently conducting a major experiment over the Southern Ocean that will help to improve climate modelling.
Physicists observe rare resonance in molecules for the first time
If she hits just the right pitch, a singer can shatter a wine glass. The reason is resonance. While the glass may vibrate slightly in response to most acoustic tones, a pitch that resonates with the material’s own natural frequency can send its vibrations into overdrive, causing the glass to shatter.
What Would Earth’s Temperature Be Like Without an Atmosphere?
Right now, the temperature of the Earth is pretty much perfect for humans, at around 13.9 degrees Celsius, or 57 degrees Fahrenheit.
