Phys.org / Indoor urban agriculture isn't necessarily low carbon, study shows
Growing lettuce indoors in Canadian cities can be as climate-friendly as conventional farming, but only in regions where electricity comes from renewable sources and is therefore low-carbon, according to a new McGill-led ...
Phys.org / Diffusion model links foam physics to voting shifts and market behavior
A drop of dye added to a glass of water undergoes ordinary diffusion. However, when placed on the surface of a foam, the dye spreads differently—diffusion becomes anomalous. An example of this is the pattern on the froth ...
Phys.org / 'She should have seen it coming': How radicalization policies put the burden on Muslim mothers
