Unlocking the secrets of supercritical fluids
Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 23, 2024
A study now published in Nature Communications provides new insights into the behavior of supercritical fluids, a state of matter between liquids and gases, with applications ranging from the pharmaceutical industry to planetary science. The findings, achieved at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL), were at the limits of current experimental possibilities.

NASA launches ground-breaking climate change satellite
Washington (AFP) May 25, 2024
A tiny NASA satellite was launched Saturday from New Zealand with the mission of improving climate change prediction by measuring heat escaping from Earth's poles for the first time.
"This new information - and we've never had it before - will improve our ability to model what's happening in the poles, what's happening in climate," NASA's earth sciences research director Karen St. Germain
