The formation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet was very different than previously believed

ageAWI experts confirm the delayed spread of the ice sheet 35 million years ago. Roughly 35 million years ago, Earth cooled rapidly. At roughly the same time, the Drake Passage…

Solar cells to achieve fast underwater wireless communication

Optimized approach simplifies underwater optical data links; could enable devices that transmit data and produce power. Although solar cells are typically designed to turn light into power, researchers have shown…
