Nature: Earth's regional climate zones will shift more quickly in response to warming as the globe grows hotter in coming decades, according to a study published online in Nature Climate Change on Sunday1. This is likely to make it harder for species to cope, raising the risk of extinction. If these changes are happening faster and faster, it means that the ecosystems have less and less time to adapt, says Irina Mahlstein, a postdoctoral researcher at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental...

New lithium-ion battery design thats 2,000 times more powerful, recharges 1,000 times faster
2013-04-17 13:41:03| Extremetech
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new lithium-ion battery technology that is 2,000 times more powerful than comparable batteries. According to the researchers, this is not simply an evolutionary step in battery tech, "Its a new enabling technology... it breaks the normal paradigms of energy sources. Its allowing us to do different, new things."

Antarctic ice melting 10 times faster than 600 years ago
2013-04-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: A report has found that the Antarctic summer ice melt is now occurring 10 times faster than it did 600 years ago. Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey and the Australian National University drilled a 360-metre ice core near the northern tip of the peninsula to to identify past temperatures. The ice core gave an extraordinary insight into the temperatures, revealing the coolest conditions, and the lowest melt, occurred six centuries ago. By comparison, it found temperatures now are...
Scientists find Antarctic ice is melting faster
2013-04-15 08:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The summer ice melt in parts of Antarctica is at its highest level in 1,000 years, Australian and British researchers reported on Monday, adding new evidence of the impact of global warming on sensitive Antarctic glaciers and ice shelves. Researchers from the Australian National University and the British Antarctic Survey found data taken from an ice core also shows the summer ice melt has been 10 times more intense over the past 50 years compared with 600 years ago. "It's definitely evidence...
