Science X / Rising seas could make yesterday's rare coastal floods tomorrow's routine disasters
Think of a tsunami that used to crash over a city once in a lifetime, but now comes crashing every year. Who is guilty? Coastal flooding results when a high tide coincides with a storm surge, waves, and an ocean surface that ...
Medical Xpress / I'm a Philly neonatologist, and every time I discharge a baby from the NICU, I worry about the air they'll breathe
Discharge day in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, should feel like a finish line. After weeks or months of monitors, alarms, oxygen, feeding tubes, blood tests and waiting, a family can finally take their baby home.
Phys.org / Giant planets could act as dark matter detectors
Researchers in the U.S. have carried out the most stringent tests to date of the idea that an ultraviolet glow in the atmospheres of giant planets could partly arise through the indirect interaction between dark matter and ...
