Science Scanner: Gravity Dip & Ice Loss Linked, Settling an Scientific Argument, Powerful Solar Flares Found on Mini-Star, Dolphins May Like Magnets
Drop in Gravity Field Over West Antarctic Linked with Ice Loss A group of German, Dutch and U.S. scientists who analyzed high-resolution satellite data from November 2009 until January 2012 found a drop in the gravity field over West Antarctica, which according to various reports has also experienced record ice loss. The researchers studied data […]
Humans’ Bat-Like Sonar Could Help the Blind
Humans have built-in biological sonar similar to bats and dolphins that could lead to a better quality of life for blind people and the visually impaired. The international study suggests people have the ability to use echoes, or echolocation, a skill some animals use to detect and find objects. Developing this ability could promote increased […]
