UNLV is exploring ways to address our water issues through several projects.
Water under pressure a million times that of a car tire lost its cubic symmetry, and the result points to the insides of Uranus and Neptune.
Researchers at the University of Nevada have demonstrated that water can adopt a more asymmetric atomic structure when subjected to extreme pressures.
Water behaves strangely under extreme conditions beyond Earth, according to new research highlighting the unexpected realities that may one day greet future astronauts.
Every human being has an all-encompassing relationship with water that spans their entire lifetime. Our bodies are 50% water. We drink water, bathe in it, and swim in it. We skate on it, snowboard on it, and have snowball fights with it. We can take its familiarity for granted.
Water ice under extreme pressure shifts into a denser, less symmetrical structure, informing planetary models while its atomic arrangement remains unclear.
Arizona recently raised an arsenic limit at one monitoring well at Pinyon Plain Mine, where scientists are still trying to understand how water moves underground.
As with most birds, food sources are always a draw, but ravens might also decide your home is the perfect place to rest or even nest.
As temperatures drop and natural food sources become harder for wildlife to find, your yard can become an important refreshment stop for winter birds. But simply getting whatever bird feeder you can find and filling it with seed isn’t always helpful. The type of feeder, where you place it and how often you clean it can all affect which birds show up and whether you accidentally invite squirrels, mice and other pests into your yard as well.
From deterrents to yard changes, these expert-backed tips can help make your outdoor space less appealing to crows—without putting them at risk.
