Forecasters look higher for clues to winter weather
By Pete Castle, University of Reading Long-range winter weather forecasts could be twice as accurate by taking account of unusual winds miles up in the stratosphere, scientists have found. Meteorologists at the University of Reading, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and Environment Canada found that by taking account of changing winds in the […]

3-D printed ‘building blocks’ of life
Scientists have developed a 3-D printing method capable of producing highly uniform ‘blocks’ of embryonic stem cells. These cells – capable of generating all cell types in the body – could be used as the ‘Lego bricks’ to build tissue constructs, larger structures of tissues, and potentially even micro-organs. The results are published today, Wednesday […]

Stretch the new flex for programmable rubber keyboard
Scientists at the University of Auckland have developed a soft, flexible, stretchable keyboard using a type of rubber known as a dielectric elastomer. The results are reported today, 25th November 2015, in the journal Smart Materials and Structures. “Imagine a world where you drop something, and it bounces back without any damage” says Daniel Xu, […]

New metric mapping top 10 European heat waves predicts strong increase in next two decades
Scientists have developed a new method to model heat wave magnitude that takes both the duration and the intensity of the heat wave into account. The new metric—the Heat Wave Magnitude Index daily (HWMId)—indicates that a little-studied heat wave in Finland in 1972 had the same extent and magnitude of the 2003 European heat wave […]
