In the 2004 film 'The Day After Tomorrow', most of Earth's northern hemisphere is smothered in a blanket of snow when Earth's system of ocean currents collapses. Although consigned to the world of sci ...

A system of Atlantic Ocean currents crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more resilient against climate change than previously thought, a new study found. Researchers ...

Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...
