This is a screenshot of my weather app showing forecasted (smooth blue/purple) rain of the French Arome model VS rain radar (sharp green/yellow contours). It actually does a pretty good job on the large scale but the details aren’t always quite right. Dies anyone know how rain probabilities are computed from these models...
A simulation suggests that fine particles played a stronger role in cooling the planet and stalling photosynthesis after an asteroid impacted the Earth....
Researchers have developed a new mechanism to make water droplets slip off surfaces, described in a paper published in Nature Chemistry. The discovery challenges existing ideas about friction between solid surfaces and water and opens up a new avenue for studying droplet slipperiness at the molecular level. The new technique has...
Cytoplasmic lattices (bundles of fibres floating in the cytoplasm) in mammalian egg cells seem to be storage sites for many proteins that are essential for the development of the early embryo. The discovery indicates that their absence, which can be determined by genetic testing, would point towards infertility of the eggs....
