Engineers fabricated a simple water filter modeled after the mobula ray’s plankton-filtering features. Pictured are pieces of the filter. Credit: Jennifer Chu MIT engineers have discovered that the ...
Among my favorite sky sights at that time are crepuscular rays ... sun sets earlier, so it’s farther below the horizon. As twilight progresses and the sun gets lower below the horizon, the air ...
In a new study, the team reveals an innovative water filter design informed by the filter-feeding capabilities of mobula rays. Mobula rays are a family of aquatic rays that include several species ...
On the northern hemisphere’s shortest day of the year, the first rays of sunlight in the early morning align perfectly with the main axis of the city’s Temple of Amun-Re. As the sun bathes the ...
This analysis tracks how the depletion of the largest species—like sawfishes and rhino rays—began in nearshore waters and has since cascaded through the food web, affecting even the deep-sea ...
Dec. 19, 2024 — Scientist have begun to reveal the particle-level processes that create the type of auroras that dance rapidly across the sky. The Kinetic-scale Energy and momentum Transport ...
This is the spectacular moment a fluorescent coral dazzled in an aquarium. Footage shows a man grabbing a neon green hammer coral in the tank in Fujian, China, on October 20. The coral, resembling ...
“Cosmic rays begin to reveal their secrets at energies above 5 EeV,” said Biteau. Measurements gathered over many years at facilities like the Pierre Auger Observatory show that once energies climb ...
