14-01-08 Weather records have tumbled across North America, as all 50 US states saw freezing temperatures. 一场寒潮横扫北美大陆，美国50个州的气温都显著下降。 The most extreme arctic blasts, blamed on a weather pattern known as the polar vortex, were said to...

13-10-28 Climate changes from millions of years ago are recorded at daily rate in ancient sea shells, new research shows. A huge X-ray microscope has revealed growth bands in plankton（浮游生物） shells that show how shell chemistry records the sea temperatu...

13-10-18 Meteorologists often use information about warm and cold fronts to determine whether a tornado will occur in a particular area. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has found that the temperature of the Pacific Ocean could help scientists predic...

13-08-14 Smartphones are a great way to check in on the latest weather predictions, but new research aims to use the batteries in those same smartphones to predict the weather. A group of smartphone app developers and weather experts created a way to use the...

13-08-08 Call it the Goldilocks Principle -- animals can survive and reproduce only if the temperature is just right. Too hot and they will overheat. Too cold and they will freeze. To stay in their comfort zone, animals have evolved very sensitive temperatur...

13-07-09 Green spaces, trees and bodies of water are must-have design features for future development in Sydney's suburbs after researchers found that by 2050 global warming combined with Sydney's urban heat island effect could increase temperatures by up to...

13-07-09 A new study led by Florida State University researcher Stephanie Pau shows that tropical forests are producing more flowers in response to only slight increases in temperature. The study examined how changes in temperature, clouds and rainfall affec...

13-06-07 Bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego have developed a computational model of 1,366 genes in E. coli that includes 3D protein structures and has enabled them to compute the temperature sensitivity of the bacterium's proteins. The s...

13-06-06 The researchers have been tracking the evolution of Drosophila subobscura, a small fly that is very common all over Europe, since 1976. They are focusing on a specific type of genomic variability known as chromosomal inversion polymorphism（倒位多态...

13-05-20 Scientists say the recent downturn in the rate of global warming will lead to lower temperature rises in the short-term. 科学家称，近期全球变暖趋势的暂缓将造成短期内气温升高的降低。 Since 1998, there has been an unexplained standstill in the heating...
