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
Просмотров 71 тыс.2 года назад
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
Просмотров 47 тыс.2 года назад
Have you ever listened to a neuron? Neuroscientists can learn about the brain by recording synaptic activity from brain cells under a microscope. One scientist is turning data from those experiments into music. The Verge Science team joined Simón(e) Sun in the lab - and the recording studio - to create a song out of a brain cell.

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 ...

    I disagree with what she says about our coastal cities are first in line to feel the effects of climate change. Everyone is already feeling the extreme temperatures, and unprecedented fast moving fires are threatening our interiors. It has always bothered me that sea-rise and loss of coastal land is prefaced as the chief concern. By the time we see a big rise in sea levels the bulk of humanity will have died off due to starvation, heat, and unimaginable weather events.

    Here's the reason why ppl [including me] hate when someone only uses metric: the viewers are forced to translate and learn how 1 local weird system works At this point I feel like I know imperial 10x better than 95% americans know metric. how about that, instead of forcing the whole world to learn this mess, ppl will inconvinience americans into learning something. and then people say how hard it is to learn metric because they don't see it anywhere. I wonder why... also not all feet are 1 foot long, and not all thumbs are 1 inch long, also, you just confused width with length here. You just see things throughout your life and compare them and remmember how tall things are. 190cm is avery tall person, 1m is about the level of a table, 1km could be the distance between your home and a shop.

    What are the odds that these records travel in a straight line through space without coming into the gravitational field of some celestial body that will draw them into a decaying orbit until they are pulled in and destroyed via impact? It is inevitable that this will happen eventually. I guess the hope is that they will be discovered before this happens.

    Democratic countries prefer Metric becouse it is simply a better system of units than imperial The metric system is a consistent and coherent system of units. In other words, it fits together very well and calculations are easy because it is decimal. This is a big advantage for use in the home, education, industry and science.

    Hello, I’m from Novosibirsk and at the same time a big fan of foxes, and, oddly enough, I couldn’t ignore the story you describe. This is one of those things that makes me proud of where I come from. Although for the general public, even in our city, the experiment remains unknown. Most people around me believe that foxes are wild animals that belong in the forest, although in fact these animals are domesticated and fox cubs are bought from breeders in the same way as kittens or puppies are bought. The funny thing is that most nurseries and the annual fox exhibition are not even here, but in the capital, and I find this damn unfair.

    @VergeScience At 4:15, you say the 95% pass is a much higher benchmark than the industry 60% pass threshold, and highlight those numbers on the comparison table. But it's clearly visible on the comparison table that the industry test uses a 12.5mm sieve for the 60%, whereas the utility test (IWSFG) uses a 25mm sieve -- which makes the industry test a higher bar on that one dimension. How can you be sure that the 60% at 12.5mm is a lower bar than 95% at 25mm?
