gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2026-03-18 05:10:52

Americans’ air is teeming with all sorts of known toxin pollutants—now scientists have found a new one to add to the list. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder detailed their discovery in a study published earlier this month. They sampled agricultural sites in Oklahoma and found clear traces of medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in the surrounding air.

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-03-19 05:00:19

The moons that orbit Uranus are already known to have unusual characteristics: some are heavily cratered, others have tectonic features or a patchwork of ridges and cliffs. Using the Hubble space telescope, scientists took a closer look at the surface of Uranus’s four largest moons and discovered something rather unexpected. For the study, a team of astronomers went searching for signs of interactions between Uranus’s magnetic field and its four largest moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Obero

The Skyscraper That Could Have Toppled over in the Wind (1995)

news.ycombinator.com Joseph Morgenstern 2026-03-18 20:40:16

Within this seemingly simple computation, however, lurks a powerful multiplier. At any given level of the building, the compression figure remains constant; the wind may blow harder, but the structure doesn’t get any heavier. Thus, immense leverage can result from higher wind forces. In the Citicorp tower, the forty-per-cent increase in tension produced by a quartering wind became a hundred-and-sixty-per-cent increase on the building’s bolts. Precisely because of that leverage, a margin of safe

Childhood leukemia: how a deadly cancer became treatable Before the 1970s, most children affected by leukemia would quickly die from it. Now, most children in rich countries are cured. In the past, when I’d hear the words childhood leukemia, I’d picture a young child who suddenly became seriously ill, and whose parents were told their child had only a few years to live.
