YOU WONT BELIEVE: University at buffalo - You Need To See This

In late 1990s, a Buffalo physicist proposed using shock waves to detect plastic land mines costing as little as $1. Years later, the idea remains a striking approach to a detection problem that defeats metal detectors

Plastic land mines are difficult to find because metal detectors may miss them entirely. Researchers at the University at Buffalo explored a different approach using weak shock waves sent through soil. Their computer simulations showed that buried objects could send back distinctive acoustic signals. Those reflected waves may reveal an…

In 1966, the U.S. Army drilled through 1.4 km of Greenland ice; decades later, forgotten soil from the core revealed preserved leaves and twigs

A forgotten Greenland soil sample from 1966 revealed ancient plant remains. This discovery showed the area was once ice-free and vegetated. Scientists used advanced dating methods to determine the timeline. The findings suggest the Greenland ice sheet is not as permanent as believed. This evidence highlights the potential impact of…

Huge ice dome in Greenland vanished 7,000 years ago — melting at temperatures we're racing toward today

Scientists drilled to the bottom of Greenland's 1,600-foot deep Prudhoe Dome and found it disappeared in the early Holocene, when temperatures were close to what we're predicted to reach by the end of the century.
