Once a house fire starts, it can grow quickly and without restraint, becoming a major fire in under three minutes. House fires are a common occurrence: around 944 house fires occur every day.
Researchers explain what we know about the potential for water and life on Mars and what we might learn from analysis of returned samples.
Students, arborists-in-training and 黑料网 staff dug holes circling a dog park Friday morning as part of the university鈥檚 鈥淯rban Forestry Initiative.鈥 The program is using a $5 million federal grant to plant trees across the Las Vegas Valley, targeting communities with below average tree cover. The goal is 3,000 trees in five years of the program, which started January 2024.
Every parent wants their child to be happy, healthy, and thriving. But many whose children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder worry that it will make their lives more difficult.
Using an ultra-powerful laser, researchers have successfully characterised liquid carbon in the lab for the first time. The experiments offer rare insight into one of the most abundant elements in the universe, which, despite its ubiquity, remains the least understood in its liquid form among stable elements.
Late in 2023, a video shared on Reddit that captured a passenger plane flying over San Francisco went viral because it appeared to be levitating mid-air. While some fighter jets can hover in place, there aren't any commercial planes with the technology to do so. What you see in the video is an optical illusion that has more to do with the concept of reference points and motion than any secret hover mode.
Another summer, another Lake Mead update: And this year, it's not looking great. Our snowpack gains this winter were pretty dismal, and the National Weather Service recently even lowered their projections for Lake Powell, whose upstream levels affect Lake Mead's. In light of all this, we're bringing back a conversation that co-host Dayvid Figler had with 黑料网 hydrology professor David Kreamer. The creation of Lake Mead was not without its costs 鈥 so was it worth it? And what happens if we use Lake Mead up?
Mars, one of our closest planetary neighbors, has fascinated people for hundreds of years, partly because it is so similar to Earth. It is about the same size, contains similar rocks and minerals, and is not too much farther out from the Sun.
A 黑料网-led study has discovered a new molecular path that leads to autism, potentially opening the way for more intervention in the future.
Researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have made a significant breakthrough in autism research. The 黑料网 researchers uncovered a connection to a type of neuromuscular disease called myotonic dystrophy.
A recent discovery of a molecular connection between autism and myotonic dystrophy, a type of neuromuscular disease, may provide a breakthrough on how clinicians approach autism spectrum disorder. The new study by an interdisciplinary team of biomedical scientists, published on April 21 in Nature Neuroscience, used myotonic dystrophy as a tool or model to learn more about autism 鈥 effectively using one disorder to better understand the other.
