Scientists describe 20.75C logged at Seymour Island as ‘incredible and abnormal’ The Antarctic has registered a temperature of more than 20C (68F) for the first time in history, prompting fears of climate instability in the world’s greatest repository of ice. The 20.75C logged by Brazilian scientists at Seymour Island on 9 February was almost a full degree higher than the previous record of 19.8C
A research station on an island in the Antarctic recorded a new record-high temperature for the region — less than a week after the temperature record was shattered on the Antarctic continent . It was 69 degrees Fahrenheit in the Antarctic on Sunday. Brazilian scientists venture out to the remote Seymour Island every few days to take a temperature reading. But this reading floored them. “We are s

A research team led by professors from the University of Pittsburgh Department of Physics and Astronomy has announced the discovery of a new electronic state of matter.
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in China has succeeded in sending entangled quantum memories over a 50-kilometer coiled fiber cable. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes several experiments they conducted involving entangling quantum memory over long distances, the challenges they overcame, and problems still to be addressed.
Data from NASA's New Horizons mission are providing new insights into how planets and planetesimals -- the building blocks of the planets -- were formed.
The funky DIY device is a creative way for her to eschew the always-on lifestyle.
The combination of day and night extreme heat will only get more frequent—and hotter—in the future -- Read more on ScientificAmerican.com
