A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world's vegetation as how much. Reporting Dec. 11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants fared differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts.
In years with less frequent but more concentrated rainfall, plants in drier environments li

Researchers have introduced an innovative approach, the Cross-Satellite Atmospheric Correction (CSAC) system, to standardize satellite ocean color data from diverse sources. This development enables the creation of reliable, global-scale, long-term records of bio-optical properties in the upper ocean. These "big data" records are essential for assessing marine ecosystems and their responses to c

Just as NASA needs to reduce mass on a spacecraft so it can escape Earth's gravity, automotive manufacturers work to reduce weight to improve vehicle performance. In the case of brake rotors, lighter is better for a vehicle's acceleration, reliable stopping, and even gas mileage. Orbis Brakes Inc. licensed a NASA-patented technology to accomplish that and more. This revolutionary brake disc desi
