Given that soil is involved in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the results suggest that mountains may have the potential to influence global climate, researchers say. Previous research had suggested there's a "speed limit" to the rate of new soil production and weathering on rapidly eroding mountain ranges. To test if this speed limit can be broken, researchers analyzed soil...

Flexible camera array could lead towards panoramic photos that dont suck

Researchers at Queens University in Ontario are taking the core concept of panoramic photography to the next level. Instead of taking a series of photos, and then stitching them together later, this Flexcam uses a flexible array of three cameras, and dynamically expands the width of the photo as you bend the device itself.
