Atmospheric scientists find causes of firenado in deadly Carr Fire

Atmospheric scientists have documented a rare firenado, finding a number of factors that combined at just the right time and place to catalyze the deadly Carr Fire in Northern California. These observations may help forecasters and scientists identify -- and potentially warn - for future destructive fire-generated vortices. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181206114740.htm

Mice display altered immune system following spaceflight

Based on examinations of mice that had been on board the Bion-M1 biosatellite, new research demonstrates that the outer space environment impairs the production of B lymphocytes, the white blood cells responsible for antibody production. The study also shows that such adverse effects persist at least one week after returning to Earth. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181206141115.htm

'Sun in a box' would store renewable energy for the grid

Engineers have come up with a conceptual design for a system to store renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, and deliver that energy back into an electric grid on demand. The system may be designed to power a small city not just when the sun is up or the wind is high, but around the clock. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181205171913.htm

An ancient strain of plague may have led to the decline of Neolithic Europeans

Researchers have identified a new strain of Yersinia pestis, the bacteria that causes plague, in DNA extracted from 5,000-year-old human remains. Their analyses suggest that this strain is the closest ever identified to the genetic origin of plague. Their work also suggests that plague may have been spread among Neolithic European settlements by traders, contributing to their decline. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181206120035.htm

Acrobatic geckos, highly maneuverable on land and in the air, can also race on water

Asian geckos were observed running over water at nearly a meter per second, as fast as on land. Lab experiments show how. They get support from surface tension but also slap the water rapidly with their feet. They also semi-plane over the surface and use their tail for stabilization and propulsion. They thus sit between insects, which use only surface tension, and larger animals, which run upright via foot slapping alone. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181206120022.htm
