In some parts of Earth's interior, seismic waves travel at different speeds depending on the direction in which they are ...

Sound waves have been used in the lab to mimic the role that gravity plays in driving convection in huge rotating bodies such as stars and planets. The new experiment was created by Seth Putterman and ...

Southwest Research Institute’s Dr. Simone Marchi collaborated on a new study finding the first geophysically plausible scenario to explain the abundance of certain precious metals — including gold and ...

Recent study indicates that the non-instantaneous interaction of convection and circulation is essential for evolution of large-scale convective systems. It is incorporated into cumulus ...

Findings from a table-top experiment have revealed that the primary driver of a type of fluid flow called solutal convection has been overlooked. What's more, once this driver is accounted for, it ...
