A team of geologists successfully forecasted a volcanic eruption in the Sierra Negra volcano five months before it took place using an upgraded supercomputer and strategic modelling program. The volcano forecasting modelling program was set up in 2017 by geology professor Patricia Gregg and her team.Read More
China on Sunday launched a new three-person mission to complete assembly work on its permanent orbiting space station. The Shenzhou 14 crew will spend six months on the Tiangong station, during which they will oversee the addition of two laboratory modules to join the main Tianhe living space that was launched in April 2021.Read More
