A mesoscale convective system is a complex of thunderstorms that can produce damaging wind gusts, hail and heavy rainfall.

We found big chunks of the impactor Theia.” With those five words to The New York Times, Caltech geophysicist Qian Yuan ...

Or at least that's how it works on Earth. In space ... Gravity also helps the burp escape, thanks to a process called convection. When a gas or liquid is heated, its molecules spread out, making ...

according to NASA's Earth Observatory. The fluffy ring is made up of cumulus clouds that have been sculpted into a Rayleigh-Benard convection cell — a meteorological phenomenon powered by the ...

“Nobody had really considered the possibility of convection in the crust of Venus before,” said Slava Solomatov, a professor of earth, environmental and planetary sciences in Arts & Sciences.

On Earth, the researchers cultivated organoids from stem cells to mimic specific brain cells like cortical ... are probably also at work in people’s brains, because there’s no convection in ...

On Earth, the team used stem cells to create organoids consisting ... because there's no convection in microgravity -- in other words, things don't move," says Loring. "I think that in space ...

Three ALMA images, spaced about a week apart, show changes in the giant convection cells on the surface of the nearby star R Doradus. The size of Earth’s orbit around the Sun is shown for scale.

Three ALMA images, spaced about a week apart, show changes in the giant convection cells on the surface of the nearby star R Doradus. The size of Earth’s orbit around the Sun is shown for scale.

The series of images shows large cells of gas rising to the star’s ... R Doradus is about 180 light-years from Earth and is nearing the end of its lifetime (SN: 7/23/21). As part of its death ...

This process occurs not only in our kitchens but also in diverse environments such as the earth's mantle, oceans, and even our skin," Ulloa says. "While convection ... a Hele-Shaw cell, which ...

The Earth's liquid outer core is also a major contributor to heat ... The upper one takes a simple case and shows how the patter will break up into several cells as convection evolves. The lower ...
