Like generals planning for the last war, oil company managers and government inspectors tend to believe that because they survived the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, they are ready for all contingencies. Today they are expanding drilling into deeper and deeper waters, and the Trump administration is opening more offshore areas to production. In fact, however, the worst-case scenario

But infrared cameras can pick up the secret light emitted as plants photosynthesize, as cool stars burn and batteries get hot. They can see through smoke and fog and plastic. But infrared cameras are much more expensive than visible-light ones; the energy of infrared light is smaller

Physicists from The University of Manchester and The University of Sheffield have discovered that when two atomically thin (two-dimensional) materials like graphene are placed on top of each other like a 'Lego' tower, their properties change and a material with novel hybrid properties emerges, paving the way for design of new materials and nano devices. This happens without the two atomic

Washington's top trade official on Tuesday said the United States and China are likely to conclude their trade negotiations within "weeks" - but a successful outcome is not assured. "Our hope is that we're in the final weeks of an agreement but I'm not predicting one," US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said in Senate testimony. "We can't predict success at this point but we are
