First Supercritical CO2 Circuit Breaker Debuts

Researchers this month will begin testing a high-voltage circuit breaker that can quench an arc and clear a fault with supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. The first-of-its-kind device could replace conventional high-voltage breakers, which use the potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride, or SF6.

The study also indicates that the central band of the world’s “barrier” deserts— from the Sahara in

Earth’s oceans once turned green – and they could change again

Nearly three fourths of Earth is covered by oceans, making the planet look like a pale blue dot from space. But Japanese researchers have made a compelling case that Earth’s oceans were once green, in a study published in Nature. The reason Earth’s oceans may have looked different in the ancient past is to do

Research Uncovers 8 Million Years of Green Arabia | Mirage News

A new study published in Nature reveals the modern arid desert between Africa and Saudi Arabia was once regularly lush and green with rivers and lakes over a period of 8 million years, allowing for the occupation and movements of both animals and hominins. The findings, led by an international team of researchers supported by

Saharo-Arabian Desert Was Regularly Lush and Green Over Period of 8 Million Years: Study

The Saharo-Arabian Desert is one of the largest biogeographical barriers on Earth, impeding dispersals between Africa and Eurasia, including movements of past hominins. Recent research suggested that this barrier has been in place since at least 11 million years ago. However, a new Griffith University-led study shows that numerous humid intervals occurred in the Saharo-Arabian Desert
