The impact on Texas’ water systems highlights both the vulnerability of basic infrastructure to a warming climate and the high costs of adaptation.“The intense heat and drop in annual rainfall…
Earth may owe its supply of pink diamonds to the breakup of the planet’s first supercontinent.The Argyle formation in western Australia is the source of 90% of pink diamonds on Earth. It’s an odd spot for diamonds: at the edge of a continent rather than in the center, where most diamond mines tend to be, and in a type of rock that is slightly different from the rock that usually bears diamonds.Now, new research suggests that the strange color and strange geology likely come from a similar origin, the plate tectonics of the planet some 1.3 billion years ago.

Will Jenna Lyons ever open up to her Real Housewives of New York City co-stars? The group tries to crack through her tough shell in the TV Insider exclusive clip from the Sunday, September 10, episode (above).

The modern world is filled with synthetic polymers, long-chained molecules designed by scientists to fill all manner of applications. Researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed two closely related polymers that respond differently to high and low temperature thresholds, despite their similar design. The polymer pair could be used in applications in medicine, protein synthesis, protective coatings and other fields. Their work is published in Macromolecules. “Typically, in order to have one thermal behavior, we have to prepare a polymer for that specific application, and if you want to have another extreme of polymer behavior, then you have to…

One of my favorite things about science is how a very simple question can lead you down a rabbit hole. Here’s one for you: What color is the sun? Most people, I’d wager, would say yellow. You probably pictured it as yellow in your head when you thought of it just now. Not too long ago, a conspiracy theory hit social media when a person tweeted that she remembered the sun being yellow when she was younger but that it was now white. (She also claimed it was oddly shaped in her photograph—which was likely caused by the image being…

Eighty-four percent of the brands that researchers studied share or sell this kind of personal data, and only two of them allow drivers to have their data deleted.

SSRL’s X-ray facilities and transition edge sensor reveal information about the nanodiamond hidden below a silica coating. Irradiated electrons escape from the nanodiamond’s surface, travel through the silica and are collected as signals. The thicker the coating, the fewer electrons make it to the surface. Understanding the chemistry of silica coatings will help researchers optimize silica shells and try other materials as coatings, expanding nanodiamonds’ applications in quantum computing and biolabeling.

Okay, so jeans will probably remain a firm fixture in my wardrobe this summer, but after months of wearing little else, I’m more than ready to shake up my style a bit. And it would appear I’m not the only one who feels that way.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s image of Herbig-Haro 211ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA, Tom Ray This newborn star is blasting out a pair of extraordinary jets. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured this image of a Herbig-Haro object, which forms when a young star spews powerful winds that smash into surrounding gas and dust at supersonic speeds. The object, called Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), is located about 1000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Perseus. This makes it one of the nearest Herbig-Haro objects we know of. The new image is far more detailed than any that astronomers have…
