Key to predicting the future climate: looking back millions of years

[ad_1] An international team of climate scientists, including two from the University of Michigan, suggests that researchers using numerical models to predict future climate change should include simulations of past climates when evaluating the model’s performance. “We urge the climate modeling community to pay attention to the past and actively …

Large area flexible organic photodiodes can compete with silicon devices

[ad_1] IMAGE: Georgia Tech’s lead researcher, Canek Fuentes-Hernandez, possesses a large-area organic photodiode in the shape of a ring, whose performance is comparable to that of silicon-based photodiodes. View More Credit: Canek Fuentes-Hernandez, Georgia Tech The performance of large-area flexible organic photodiodes has advanced to the point where they can …

The past is the key to predicting the future climate, scientists say

[ad_1] An international team of climate scientists, including UConn Department of Geosciences assistant professors Ran Feng and Clay Tabor, suggests that research centers around the world using numerical models to predict future climate change should include simulations of past climates in their evaluation and declaration of the performance of their …

The past is the key to predicting the future climate: models should be tested by simulating past climates

[ad_1] Past carbon dioxide concentrations (left) versus possible future emissions scenarios (right): the current emissions rate is much faster – occurring over decades – unlike geological changes, which occur in millions of years. If emissions continue unabated, carbon dioxide levels could reach or exceed values ​​associated with past warm climates, …

The fossilized amphibian alludes to the first “slingshot” language tests | Science

[ad_1] Scientists have discovered the earliest evidence of a “sling” language in 99-million-year-old amphibian fossils. The armored prehistoric creatures, known as albanerpetontids, were predators sitting and waiting for them to grab their prey with a bullet of their “ballistic tongues”. Although they had lizard-like claws, scales and tails, analysis indicates …
