Monbiot: 'The Heathrow ruling is crucial. It sets a precedent that can now be followed in the other sectors most responsible for climate breakdown.' It’s not often that environmentalists get to celebrate outside a courtroom. Usually we are there to have our hopes dashed against a legal framework that favours the…

A new paper has revealed that Greenland and the Antarctic have lost a staggering amount of mass from their ice sheets over the last 16 years thanks to climate change, and that the melting has contributed to sea level rise. The researchers drew on satellite measurements that were taken by…

AbstractEnergy dissipation in water is very fast and more efficient than in many other liquids. This behavior is commonly attributed to the intermolecular interactions associated with hydrogen bonding. Here, we investigate the dynamic energy flow in the hydrogen bond network of liquid water by a pump-probe experiment. We resonantly excite…

Hygroscopic Properties of NaCl Nanoparticles on the Surface: A Scanning Force Microscopy Study Abstract We investigated the hygroscopic growth of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) nanoparticles with curvature related diameters ranging from 10 nm to 200 nm, at different relative humidity by scanning force microscopy. Hygroscopic aerosol nanoparticles play a vital role…
