Mixing

Credit: CC0 Public Domain They are among the most productive and biodiverse areas of the world's oceans: coastal upwelling regions along the eastern boundaries of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. There, equatorward winds cause near-surface water to move away from the coast. This brings cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths to the surface, inducing the growth of phytoplankton and providing the basis for a rich marine…

The issue appears to be limited to the iOS Apple Music app and could be caused by an iCloud issue that's syncing up the wrong data between users. Some wrote that disabling iCloud syncing and then…

Isospin mixing is a concept in nuclear physics that refers to the symmetry in atomic nuclei induced by the nearly identical properties between protons and neutrons.Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Modern Physics and their collaborators have identified the most significant isospin mixing observed in beta-decay experiments, directly challenging our current understanding of the nuclear force. The findings were featured as an Editors’ Suggestion in the journal Physical Review Letters.In 1932,…

Halle Bailey has been on the receiving end of some major criticism and negativity since being cast as Disney’s live-action Ariel, but The Little Mermaid star stepped in a completely different role post Halloween when she channeled her inner Catwoman on Instagram. In doing so, she's seemingly leaning into the fact that some confuse her with Catwoman’s Halle Berry. The two stars are couple generations apart, but their names are still very similar and easily mixed up when typing them. (There are definitely worse things in…

This convection is an important part of the global climate system, helping sequester carbon…
