Unrest and eruptions
Seismic, deformation, and gas activity (unrest) typically precedes volcanic eruptions. Tracking the changes of this activity with monitoring data makes it increasingly possible to successfully forecast eruptions from stratovolcanoes. ...

Climate change is moving mountains, research says
For millions of years global climate change has altered the structure and internal movement of mountain ranges, but the resulting glacial development and erosion can in turn change a mountain's local climate. The degree of ...

Ants: Both solid-like and liquid-like
Collections of ants have a remarkable ability to change shapes and tasks based on the demands of their environment. When floodwaters hit, they self-assemble and form rafts to stay alive. They can also use their bodies to ...

Rigidity transition and cell migration in biological tissues
(Â鶹ÒùÔº)—Cell migration is an intrinsic feature of multicellular organisms, enabling such processes as embryo development, wound healing, and immune responses. These activities require cells to move freely within tissues. ...
