One such company is JetZero, which, in partnership with engineering giants Siemens and Northrop Grumman, is developing a revolutionary passenger jet design that seamlessly blends the wings into the fuselage.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — We are anticipating a dry week ahead (not uncommon to have 1 or 2 weeks of dry weather before storms return) and we are nearly halfway through the rainy season.
Across the state, Northern California has seen flooding rains while Southern California has barely seen a drop of rain this winter.
We are doing quite well across much of the Bay Area. Majority of cities are above average/close to when it comes to rainfall. However, the South Bay is running significantly below average. This is due to the storm track favoring the North Bay (think flooding rains from weeks past).
Based on the history of life here on earth, at least one prominent paleontologist thinks that complex life in the cosmos is likely very rare.
Debate continues to rage in the scientific community about the true meaning of time, even about its very existence at a fundamental level.
A whitish, gray patch that sometimes appears in the night sky alongside the northern lights has been explained for the first time by researchers at the University of Calgary.
The article, which was published on Dec. 30 in the journal Nature Communications, explores a “structured continuum emission” that’s associated with aurora borealis.
“You’d see this dynamic green aurora, you’d see some of the red aurora in the background and, all of a sudden, you’d see this structured—almost like a patch—gray-toned or white toned-emission connected to the aurora,” says Dr. Emma Spanswick, Ph.D., lead author on the paper and an associate professor with the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science.
The microscope cost less than £50 to build using an open-source design and a common 3D printer.
Over 100 small earthquakes in Surrey might have been caused by oil drilling nearby, according to UCL research.
The study, which involved extensive simulations, points to a probable link between seismic activity and the pressures of oil extraction.
Earthquake Cluster in Surrey.
Geophysicists at ETH Zurich are using models of the lower mantle to identify areas where earthquake waves behave differently than previously assumed. This indicates the presence of zones of rocks that are colder, or have a different composition, than the surrounding rocks. This finding challenges our current understanding of the Earth’s plate tectonics – and presents the researchers with a major mystery.
