Stage Sand Transport System Winds blowing over a dune can move grains of sand in three main ways. What path these grains take ...

The SandAI neural network was trained using modern quartz sand and can help unravel the histories encoded in ancient rocks. Shown here are ancient ripples formed by water currents being reworked by ...

Brazilian researchers have developed a technique that estimates the force exerted on each grain of sand in a dune from images. This method, which is based on numerical simulations and artificial ...

A new technique estimates forces on individual sand grains, offering scientists a novel way to study how Martian winds shaped the Red Planet. An innovative technique for measuring the force acting on ...

Rising sea levels threaten coastal habitats crucial for wildlife like horseshoe crabs. A Florida study predicts significant loss of mangroves & tidal flats by 2100, impacting crab breeding grounds.

A millimeter-sized sea animal could hold clues to the evolution of the human nervous system. While placozoans are simple animals only as big as a grain of sand, the blobs have unique cells that could ...
