Airplanes hit wildlife. Here’s how scientists are trying to prevent it.
More than 10,000 collisions between animals and airplanes are reported each year to the FAA, and those numbers are on the rise. Specialists work around the clock to keep airport wildlife strikes from turning deadly, employing a range of tactics from habitat management to sequencing bird DNA. Can they keep up with the pace of travel? The Verge Science team ventured from the tarmac to the feather identification lab to find out. Check out our latest video to learn more - and find out what “snarge” is.

Why some city neighborhoods are hotter than others
Переглядів 71 тис.2 роки тому
Satellite data shows that cities have hotter average surface temperatures than surrounding areas. Pollution, asphalt, and lack of green spaces all contribute to what scientists call the "urban heat island effect." This extreme heat can have deadly consequences. The Verge science team hit New York’s streets with a thermal camera to learn just how hot cities can get, and why. Read more: bit.ly/2V...
Understanding brain signals through music made from neurons

Trees move. They’ve been slowly migrating to new habitats since the last ice age. But these days, they’re having trouble keeping up with climate change, leaving park agencies and forest managers with tough decisions. The Verge Science team went into the woods with an ecophysiologist - and her shotgun - to learn how and why trees migrate, and why it matters. Read more: bit.ly/2S1E8JH 0:00 Intro ...

    Gavin Newsome loves to remind people that California is the 4th largest economy in the world and a world leader in green energy, but he won’t pay to recycle nuclear waste. Under Governor Newsome, California now pays to dump their nuclear waste in western Arizona, so California can appear to be green because it has less toxic waste in the state.

    this is just spent fuel or high level waste. what about medium level waste& low level waste? don't be fooled by the term "low level". LLW has four subcategories: Classes A, B, C, and Greater-Than Class-C (GTCC), described below. On average, Class A is the least hazardous while GTCC is the most hazardous. Class A On average the least radioactive of the four LLW classes. Primarily contaminated with “short-lived” radionuclides. (average concentration: 0.1 curies/cubic foot) Class B May be contaminated with a greater amount of “short-lived” radionuclides than Class A.(average concentration: 2 curies/cubic foot) Class C May be contaminated with greater amounts of long-lived and short-lived radionuclides than Class A or B. (average concentration: 7 curies/cubic foot) GTCC Most radioactive of the low-level classes. (average concentration: 300 to 2,500 curies/cubic foot) (The 300 figure is based on the 1985 inventory. The higher figure represents anticipated inventory in 2020, including some decommissioning wastes.) note that a curie is a large unit, radioactivity results are usually shown in picocuries (pCi). A picocurie is one trillionth of a curie.

    Equating a pound to a kilogram says to me that the real problem here is the lack of education of the general public. Equating a pound to a kilogram is ridiculous. A kilogram is a unit of mass and a pound is a unit of force and if you don't already know that you shouldn't make video on systems of measurement in the first place! So there!!!!!!

    One big problem is American's visualization of metric units. 1 in = ~ 2.5 cm, a 2X4 stud is 5X10 Metric (closer to actual size of lumber). A meter is "around" 4 ft. A liter is a bit more than a quart. A kilometer is "around" 2/3 mile and a kilogram is slightly more than 2 pounds. Precise calculations are not needed for casual measurements. The biggest problem I see is dealing with nuts and bolts, some of those have/will be around for ages so mechanics need wrenches in both systems.
