In "Ends of the Earth," Neil Shubin travels north and south to explore the frontiers of polar science and history.

Most modern structures are built to last 50 years or so, but ingenious ancient engineering has kept this watery city afloat ...

With a new calibre 8L45 movement (+10 to -5 seconds per day), one-piece titanium case construction, 600 metres of water resistance, and an L-shaped gasket to prevent ... steel bezel insert has a ...

The unique ecosystems of the south and north poles, shaped by long-term geographic isolation, remain pristine and host a wealth of novel microbial strains. These microorganisms represent a valuable ...

To find out, we ran climate model simulations with the Australian Earth system model, ACCESS-ESM1.5. Our modeling reveals a complex and regionally varied response, primarily shaped by large-scale ...

The Leki Skytera FX Carbon SL trekking pole combines Z-shaped and telescopic into one pole. We find out if it's any good.

They fit nicely, too, and while that telegraph-pole shape won't be for everyone, that stem configuration does seem to add stability and poise to keep the Finals nestled safely in your ears. Nearly 50 ...

Some of the marks were single lines, which could have been made by two poles bound together at the end (A-shaped). In other cases, there were two parallel lines, likely made by two poles crossed ...

A new study has cracked the code behind these glacial transitions, revealing how changes in Earth’s tilt, wobble, and orbital shape drive the cycle of ice advance and retreat. Credit: Matt Perko, UC ...

The advantages and effects, such as flexibility and structure, are studied. The characterization of coil-shaped carbon nanotube composites is described, which exhibits good sensitivity and ...
