Compare and contrast: Optical fiber sensor provides simple and sensitive detection of arsenic in drinking water
Science Daily Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. The technology could enable […]
Compare and contrast: New 3-D Study of the Greenland Ice Sheet Shows Glaciers Falling Apart Faster Than Expected
Inside Climate News Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, increasing concerns about how quickly their melting will raise […]
Compare and contrast: How reduced rainfall threatens plant diversity
Phys.org Published in the Journal of Ecology, the research reveals that increased dryness leads to a reduction in plant species diversity in drylands and uncovers the mechanisms through which rising […]
Compare and contrast: Slush flows can be more deadly than avalanches: How scientists are racing to stop this hidden hazard
EuroNews Green Predicting when and where they might happen is currently very difficult leaving local communities vulnerable to this under-researched phenomenon. Scientists in Norway are developing a tool to help […]
