A new 3D simulation tool developed by ETH and SLF researchers now allows for significantly more accurate predictions of ...

June 30 marks a night when Earth drifts through the dusty trail of Comet 7P/Pons-Winnecke, triggering one of the summer’s ...

Marine snow—a mixture of dead plankton, waste, mucus, and other organic material slowly sinking from the ocean’s surface—is an important, but poorly understood, part of the ocean carbon cycle.

Petroleum-based particles caused by new student housing construction on the southwest corner of East Speedway and North Park Avenue are flowing around midtown unregulated.

A version of this article appears in print on , Section D, Page 2 of the New York edition with the headline: Marine Snow: Particles’ Parachutes Made of Mucus Change How Scientists See the Ocean.

Newly discovered microscopic mucus tails – trailing from particles of marine snow particles – slow these particles’ descent into the deep ocean, research finds. This doubles the particles ...

Tiny particles (white dots) within a seawater-filled chamber were used to measure the rate at which fluid flows around this flake of marine snow as it falls. The chamber is designed to keep the ...

Some effects like lens distortion, snow/rain overlay and more work perfectly with transparency so using transparent streaming with Spout2/Game-Capture/etc. works just fine. Some other effects, like ...
