The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert in various districts of Kerala on Saturday, predicting scorching temperatures and challenging conditions for people from April 6 to April 10.
New Delhi [India], March 18: A groundbreaking method for mechanical tensile testing of metal components and auto parts has been developed by researchers at Presto. It works on the principle of subjecting materials to alternating periods of salt spray and dry conditions. Overcoming traditiona
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 26: As we embrace the mildness of tropical winters, our hair often bears the brunt of the intense humidity, dryness, styling products and chemical treatments. The toll can leave our strands parched, damaged, and lifeless. Fret not, for there is a key to
Dubai [UAE], December 5: Fortescue Executive Chairman and Founder, Dr Andrew Forrest AO, has joined leading scientists from around the world in signing an open letter to world leaders attending COP28 detailing lethal humidity's growing threat to humanity.
The 36-year-old also had to contend with the humidity at Arthur Ashe Stadium, regularly using an ice towel and ingesting salts during timeouts to keep himself in shape. He appeared to feel dizzy at times during the match but maintained a high level to advance to a record-breaking 47th Grand
Taipei [Taiwan], July 25: Innodisk, a leading global AI solution provider, is taking proactive strides into edge AI. It has launched a new industrial air sensor module solution with its subsidiary, Sysinno, featuring accurate sensing, easy implementation, and minimal computing power. The mod
Humidity is as crucial as aroma in drawing pollinators to a plant, according to a new Cornell-led study, enhancing basic biology and creating new avenues to boost agriculture.
According to recent research done by Cornell University, humidity has an equal role as aroma in luring pollinators to a plant. This finding advances basic biology and creates new opportunities for agriculture.
A latest study, led by Yale School of the Environment scientists and published in Nature, investigated the combined effect of temperature and humidity on urban heat stress using observational data and an urban climate model calculation.
Researchers found that the heat stress burden is dependent on local climate and a humidifying effect can erase the cooling benefits that would come from trees and vegetation.
As temperatures throughout the world hit record highs, cities are experiencing unusual heat stress. Cities are often warmer and drier than surrounding rural terrain. However, in the Global South, there is an extra complicating factor: urban humid heat.
