Hitherto unseen, these formations seem to transfer water over long distances and might affect the global climate. The existence of these giant vortices, which can reach a diameter of 150 km, was known from previous observations. Their role in ocean circulation was difficult to study, as the limits of these…
One of the most popular theories in science today argues that life arrived on Earth from outer space, i.e. from bacteria that were brought to our planet by a meteor. However, another point of view, which seems indeed to have potentially broader support, insists that it is very likely that…
Is it possible to convert Earth's heat into renewable energy? Scientists have developed a technique that enables us to generate electricity from the heat that Earth releases into the atmosphere. American engineers believe that the thermal energy of the Earth, which is released into the environment, can be used as…
New Scientist magazine published a series of articles about the 10 major events that are likely to happen in the field of science and technology in the coming year. 8 Most Expected Science and Technology Advances in 2014 1. Space is getting closer In 2014, two spacecraft that will help…
A cup of hot coffee put in the refrigerator cools down instantly. Similarly, if the sun went out and its heat was suddenly "switched off", which in reality is physically impossible, the Earth, compared with the surrounding space, would remain hot for several million years after that. However, the inhabitants…
