Researchers at Texas A&M University have constructed a robot with cycloidal wheels, marking a significant step forward in using robotics in all-terrain environments. The Adaptive Robotics and ...

Something tore up the ground across the Nullarbor Plain, leaving a distinctive mark on the landscape. Scientists finally ...

The magazine's most-read articles of the year included a close-up look at the adorable yet venomous pygmy slow loris, a ...

Scientists used satellite imagery to confirm that a previously undiscovered tornado tore through the Australian outback in ...

The origin of the strange clearing, which is still visible today, was detected by a scientist trawling through satellite data.

Researchers studied the looping "cycloidal marks" in the scar to determine the tornado's severity, direction and wind speeds. Matej Lipar, Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science ...

A man stumbled upon something unusual in a satellite image of the Australian outback. Scientists have now identified the ...

Dr Lipar said these were "cycloidal marks", and the biggest clue to what created the scar. "We usually see tornadoes as eyewitnesses or concerning how much destruction they left behind," he said.

The scar measured 6.8 miles long and spanned between 525 and 820 feet wide. It had “cycloidal marks,” or a chain of dark loops created by the tornado’s suction vortexes. Based on their ...

Our results have been published in the Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science. The scar is 11km long and between 160–250m wide. It bears striking patterns called “cycloidal marks”, ...

The scar is 11 kilometers long and between 160 and 250 meters wide. It bears striking patterns called "cycloidal marks," formed by tornado suction vortexes. This suggests the tornado was no ...
