Nature World: It is generally accepted that climate change led to the extinction of the mammoth and other large mammals following the last Ice Age, but an international team of researchers behind a new report in the journal Nature claims to have found the smoking gun that pinpoints which of climate change's myriad effects led to the mass extinction of large mammals. By analyzing sediment samples from more than 10,000 years ago and the gut contents of permafrozen woolly rhinos, mammoths and other extinct Ice Age...

Tires play a crucial role in translating braking force to deceleration, particularly in wet conditions. Consumers think brakes are the motivating force that stops your car, when in reality tires stop your car, said Ron Margadonna, a senior technical marketing manager at Michelin. Compared with a conventional tire, the Premier A/S, reduces stopping distances in wet conditions and, when worn, better resists hydroplaning - skating on a thin cushion of water.
