Field observations of turbidity currents remain scarce, and thus there is continued debate about their internal structure and how they modify underlying bedforms. Here, I present the results of a ...

The researchers were thus able to use more than a decade’s worth of comprehensive Argo data to distinguish the trend of the accelerating current from natural variability. Study co-authors said it is ...

Unlocking a 30,000-year-old mystery, scientists now believe they know how early humans successfully navigated the seas to ...

Currents can affect marine animals' locomotion, energy expenditure and ability to navigate; the force of currents may cause ...

In contrast to alternating current, or AC, which, depending on the supply's frequency, switches direction 50 or 60 times per second, the current in DC circuits flows only in one direction.

AC’s ubiquity dates from the so-called “war of the currents” that accompanied electrification in the 1880s and 1890s. When electricity flows down a line as AC, energy travels as a wave.

This has come to be known as conventional current flow. Then in 1897, British physicist Thompson, discovered that current flow was really electrons as he was doing some research on a crt.

The catastrophic debris flow that affected Montecito, Calif., in early January, 2018 was the result of a rare confluence of severe events. The Thomas Fire had been raging for weeks in Ventura and ...

We made a handy ac-current probe, a Magnepick. It is simply a toothpick with three to four turns of a thin wire making a tiny coil on its tip. It picks up the magnetic field parallel to the toothpick.

The handedness or “chirality” of electrons affects how current flows in graphene transistors, according to new work done by researchers in the UK and Russia. The team’s findings could help to make ...
