The thermal expansion of ocean depths (above 2000 metres) could contribute more to global sea level rise than previously believed (0.4 mm/year). This is what emerges from a study recently published on Earth’s Futurewhich analyzes the behavior of the oceans at depths that oceanographic buoys cannot reach.

The oven clock shows a certain time, the smartphone clock shows another. Why this difference? Many household appliances like ovens and microwaves do not use advanced synchronization systemsbut they rely on a surprisingly simple principle: counting the oscillations of the alternating current coming from the house socket. In Europe, alternating current oscillates nominally at 50Hzthat is, accomplishes 50 cycles per ...
