Water can exist as two different liquids

Written by Stockholm University

We normally consider liquid water as disordered with the molecules rearranging on a short time scale around some average structure. Now, however, scientists at Stockholm University have discovered two phases of the liquid with large differences in structure and density.

General Electric Builds an AI Workforce

Written by Elizabeth Woyke

GE scientists have been studying and adapting changing technology for decades. In this photo from April 18, 1968, a GE systems engineer mans the telex link of a Student Response System at Syracuse University.

When Jason Nichols joined GE Global Research in 2011, soon after completing postdoctoral work in organic chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, he anticipated a long career in chemical research. But after four years creating materials and systems to treat industrial wastewater, Nichols moved to the company’s machine-learning lab.

This Could Be the Most Detailed Image of a Distant Star Yet

Written by Ryan F. Mandelbaum

Betelgeuse

So there’s good reason to be excited about this new image of Orion’s second brightest and biggest star, Betelgeuse, taken by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array in Northern Chile. Not only is it one of the crispest images of a stellar surface yet, but it can tell scientists a lot about the massive star’s future.

More Evidence of the Great 21st Century Warming Pause

Written by Dr. Craig Idso

One of the many conundrums facing climate alarmists — who predict that dangerous future global warming will result from increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 — is the existence of the aptly-named “warming hiatus.”

Collapse of the European ice sheet caused chaos

Written by Quaternary Science Reviews

Based on the latest reconstruction of the famous ice age river system, Fleuve Manche, the scientists have calculated that its catchment area was similar to that of the Mississippi.

Scientists have reconstructed in detail the collapse of the Eurasian ice sheet at the end of the last ice age. The big melt wreaked havoc across the European continent, driving home the original Brexit 10,000 years ago.
