Stanford researchers paired seismometers with infrasound microphones to capture hurricane forces near the surface, offering a new data stream for forecasting storm intensity without waiting for landfall
When Hurricane Isaac barreled over Louisiana in 2012, it pressed down on the Earth so hard that sensors built for earthquakes felt the
London police have seized more than 2,500 illegal e-bikes in seven months, already beating all of last year, and the roadside machine they now use explains why so many failed
London police seized 2,500 e-bikes in seven months. New roadside detection tech explains the rise in enforcement actions.
A study of nearly 10,000 battery tests found used EV batteries hold up far better than feared, with the Kia e-Niro still at 97% capacity after 62,000 miles
A study of nearly 10,000 battery health tests found top EVs keep over 97% of capacity after 62,000 miles, easing degradation fears.
Morocco is testing a porous ‘sponge’ pavement to replace scorching black asphalt in Marrakech and Agadir, and pilot data show it can run up to 16°F cooler
Morocco is testing permeable pavement that drains water and cools itself through evaporation, part of a wider climate resilience push.
His grandfather paid $2,200 for this new tractor in 1953, and 62 years later, his grandson did everything he could to recover it before it disappeared forever from the family’s history

A new diabetes pill lowered blood sugar and body weight more than oral semaglutide, but the convenience came with a harder trade-off
A new diabetes pill beat oral semaglutide on blood sugar and weight loss, but nearly 10% stopped treatment due to side effects.
Scientists spent years testing a phenomenon researchers thought they understood, but the results revealed an unexpected mechanism hiding underneath and raised new questions about how the system actually works

Most people struggle to hold their breath underwater for two minutes, but the Bajau can spend up to five hours a day diving and working beneath the sea after generations of life built around the ocean
Bajau divers can spend hours working underwater, and scientists found an unusual biological adaptation that may help explain how.
Scientists opened a window into life more than 500 million years ago with an unusually preserved Cambrian fossil, and one tiny anatomical detail may help explain how a major feature of modern animals first appeared
Scientists discovered a new clue about early ocean life in the Cambrian period, 540 million years ago.
Earth may have spent roughly a billion years with days stuck near 19 hours long, and scientists think an extraordinary tug-of-war involving the Moon and the atmosphere temporarily stopped the planet’s rotation from slowing normally
Earth’s rotation may have stagnated for a billion years during the Proterozoic era.
