Scientists use a 3km high-resolution climate model to reveal expanded extreme rainfall from typhoons.

Unraveling the mysteries of fog in complex terrain

Science Daily - 30/12/2023
While fog presents a major hazard to transportation safety, meteorologists have yet to figure out how to forecast it with the precision they have achieved for precipitation, wind and other stormy events. This is because the physical processes resulting in fog formation are extremely complex, Now researchers report their findings from an intensive study centered on a northern Utah basin and conceived to investigate the life cycle of cold fog in mountain valleys.

In coastal communities, sea level rise may leave some isolated

Science Daily - 30/12/2023
Amid the threat of dramatic sea level rise, coastal communities face unprecedented dangers, but a new study reveals that as flooding intensifies, disadvantaged populations will be the ones to experience some of the most severe burdens of climate change.

Breakthrough in organic semiconductor synthesis paves the way for advanced electronic devices

Molecules exhibit non-reciprocal interactions without external forces

Science Daily - 30/12/2023
Researchers have discovered that molecules experience non-reciprocal interactions without external forces. Fundamental forces such as gravity and electromagnetism are reciprocal, where two objects are attracted to each other or are repelled by each other. In our everyday experience, however, interactions don t seem to follow this reciprocal law.
