From rdmag: Researchers at the UT Dallas Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute have demonstrated a fundamentally new type of artificial muscle, which can operate
at extreme temperatures where no other artificial muscle can be used — from below the temperature of liquid

at room
temperature, it could come in handy in Africa

temperature — 136 ° F — was recorded in September 1922.
Scientists also study water under more
extreme conditions, including
at high pressures,
where it can exist in the solid state even
at room
temperature.
The SDO can see
extreme ultraviolet wavelengths that are blocked by Earth's atmosphere, allowing it to look
at the part of the corona
where the
temperature suddenly rises.
Today we understand the impact of human activities on global mean
temperature very well; however, high - impact
extreme weather events are
where the socio - economic impacts of a changing climate manifest itself and
where our understanding is more in its infancy but nevertheless developing
at pace.
In 2002, she joined the NIF and Photon Science Directorate
where she began using ultra-intense lasers to generate bright high - energy X-ray sources and developed techniques to probe matter
at extreme density and
temperature on high - power, laser - driven experiments.
Possible increased growth and productivity concurrent with climate oscillations that increase water availability, particularly
at higher elevations and
where stand density is low;
extreme high
temperatures would have net negative impact, regardless of water availability
Then, they calculated the total exposure to
extreme heat in «person - days,» by multiplying the number of heat waves - days when
temperatures reach
at least 95 degrees - by the number of people who are projected to live in the areas
where extreme heat is occurring.
At the other
extreme was hot - weather testing in Dubai,
where ambient
temperatures can exceed 122 - degrees Fahrenheit in the shade.
With the exception of glaciers that terminate in the ocean, and glaciers in the polar regions or
at extreme high altitudes
where the
temperature is always below freezing, essentially just two things determine whether a glacier is advancing or retreating: how much snow falls in the winter, and how warm it is during the summer.
Additionally, the publication aims to highlight the full range climate - related health issues and risks (i.e. nutrition, NCDs, air pollution, allergens, infectious diseases, water and sanitation,
extreme temperatures and weather, etc.)
where health decision - making can benefit from climate and weather knowledge
at historic, immediate, seasonal, or long - term time scales.

at the same time operate reliably in harsh environments
where high - voltage power spikes and
extreme temperatures can render standard networking equipment useless or unreliable.
Today we understand the impact of human activities on global mean
temperature very well; however, high - impact
extreme weather events are
where the socio - economic impacts of a changing climate manifest itself and

But they both depend on ice and cold for survival — a problem in a world that's warming and
where temperature increases are most pronounced
at the planet's northern and southern
extremes.
