Professor Kevin P Furlong from the Geodynamics Research Group at Geosciences Penn State discusses subduction zone earthquakes.
Earthquakes in subduction zones, where two tectonic plates meet and one sinks (or subducts) beneath the other, play host to the largest earthquakes...
Ian Thornton-Trump, the Chief Information Security Officer at Cyjax Ltd, discusses the necessity of widespread cyber-security investment.
From 2015 onwards, the scourge of ransomware attacks on small, medium, and large enterprises grew at a phenomenal rate and moved from cottage industry to sophisticated operations...
A collaboration of engineers, biomedical scientists, and clinicians in the Netherlands has recently reached a breakthrough in cell-based bone regenerative therapies.
Although bone has a great regenerative capacity, up to 10% of defects cannot heal without intervention. As a result,...
Goethe University’s Professor Joachim Stroth explores neutron star matter and what happens when two of the densest macroscopic objects we know of merge.
What happens when two of the densest macroscopic objects we know of merge? Incredible amounts of kinetic...
RSS Hydro Geoscientist & UAV Pilot, Margherita Bruscolini, discusses the necessity of understanding the components of disaster risk and how this will facilitate the design and application of effective disaster risk management strategies, as well as spreading awareness among...
Dr Axelle Viré, Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), discusses the opportunities and challenges brought by floating offshore wind farms.
Existing large-scale offshore wind farms use bottom-fixed wind turbines which are directly mounted on the seabed. This...
The Center for Cosmology at the University of California, Irvine, is on the frontier of discoveries of the nature of our cosmos – such as the nature of the dark Universe – with research spanning observational astronomy to theoretical...
The James Webb Space Telescope will revolutionise our understanding of the atmospheres of planets found orbiting other stars.
Since the first detection of a planet orbiting another star in 1995, astronomers have found over 5000 “exoplanets,” mostly due to NASA’s...
Professor Wick Haxton from the University of California Berkeley discusses neutrino experiments past and present and explains how solar neutrinos may also come to answer the question of whether exo-planet formation leaves chemical imprints on host stars.
In the summer...
Professor James P. Vary from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Iowa State University explains how supercomputers are revolutionising weather forecasts and predictive science.
Do you ever wonder how your local weather is forecast for up to a week...
