Newcastle University Research Shows Climate Change Causes Methane To Be Released From The Deep Ocean
Researchers have found that frozen methane trapped under our oceans, is vulnerable to melting due to climate change and could be released into the sea.
A team of researchers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama have created a simulation of the Apollo 12 lander engine plumes interacting with the lunar surface. The simulation animation illustrates the last 30 seconds of descent before the engine cut-off, and it shows the predicted forces that the plumes would exert on a flat computational surface. These forces are known as shear stress, which is the amount of lateral or sideways force applied over a specific area. It is the leading cause of erosion as fluids flow across a surface. The fluctuating radial patterns in the animation illustrate the intensity of predicted shear stress, with dark purple representing lower shear stress and yellow representing higher shear stress. The credits for this simulation go to...

This animated graph displays the frequency and signal strength of gravitational waves using a simulated dataset of galactic ultracompact binaries. The colors on the graph indicate frequencies ranging from about 0.001 to 0.01 hertz, with lighter colors representing higher frequencies. The dashed curve shows the expected sensitivity limit of the LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) mission, which is currently being designed by the ESA (European Space Agency) in collaboration with NASA for launch in the 2030s.

The findings are featured on the cover of the journal Cancer Cell • The authors of the study, from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), suggest that cognitive loss in patients with brain metastases may be due to the interference that cancer produces in neuronal circuits. • When cancer spreads in the brain, it changes the brain’s chemistry, interfering with the communication between neurons. This is a very different hypothesis from the one previously accepted, with implications for the diagnosis and treatment of brain metastases. © Atlas / CNIO
