A new study shows that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols in other regions of the world can also impact Central Asian precipitation and water resources by modulating the key atmospheric circulation.

A new study presents an initial quantitative comparison of cloud top height between satellite and ground-based radar over the Tibet Plateau and provides a scientific guidance for application of cloud top height data.

KAIST researchers have developed a novel nanofiber production technique called 'centrifugal multispinning' that will open the door for the safe and cost-effective mass production of high-performance polymer nanofibers. This new technique, which has shown up to a 300 times higher nanofiber production rate per hour than that of the conventional electrospinning method, has many potential applications including the development of face mask filters for coronavirus protection.

Coastal communities face increasing danger from rising water and storms, but the level of risk will be more closely tied to policy decisions regarding development than the varying conditions associated with climate change.

The researchers identified a failure in the brain's immune system, leading to the amplification of cell division and spread of Glioblastoma cancer cells.

How long are you impaired after cannabis use? New analysis defines durations of impairment after inhaled or oral THC doses. The findings raise questions about drug-driving laws that penalise drivers for any THC presence and not impairment.

To confirm life on other planets, we need to detect far more molecules in their atmospheres than we currently do to rule out non-biological chemical processes.
