Machine learning provides a clearer window into ocean motion

Oceanographers use satellites to peer down at Earth and measure the elevation of the ocean's surface. This information can help them map the circulation of the ocean's currents and understand the role this movement plays ...

Exploring parameter shift for quantum Fisher information

In a recent publication in EPJ Quantum Technology, Le Bin Ho from Tohoku University's Frontier Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences has developed a technique called time-dependent stochastic parameter shift in the realm ...

Parker makes its closest and fastest solar flyby

The Parker Solar Probe is the little engine that just keeps going and going by the sun. On September 27th, it made its 17th close approach and skimmed just 7.26 million kilometers (4.51 million miles) above the sun's "surface" ...

Bacterial biosensors: The future of analyte detection

Scientists can do some nifty things with microbes, including engineering bacterial cells to sense and signal the presence of specific compounds. These microbial whole-cell biosensors have numerous purposes, from detecting ...

Juice: Why's it taking so long?

At their closest point in orbit, Earth and Jupiter are separated by almost 600 million kilometers. At the time of writing, five months after launch, Juice has already traveled 370 million kilometers, yet in time it's only ...

Exploring just how extreme future storms could get

Storms that drop exceptionally high volumes of precipitation often cause flooding and otherwise imperil human safety, infrastructure and ecosystems. As climate change progresses, such extreme events are likely to become even ...

How Canada can make better progress on disability inclusion

According to the World Health Organization, around 16 percent of the world's population, just over one billion people, are living with a disability. In Canada, research shows that up to 30 percent of Canadians are living ...

Century's end may bring annual 100-year floods

Most coastal communities will encounter 100-year floods annually by the end of the century, even under a moderate scenario where carbon dioxide emissions peak by 2040, a new study finds. And as early as 2050, regions worldwide ...
