Supercomputer model simulations reveal cause of Neanderthal extinction
(Institute for Basic Science) IBS climate scientists discover that according to new supercomputer model simulations, only competition between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens can explain the rapid demise of Neanderthals around 43 to 38 thousand years ago.
Retrofitting of VW Diesel engines was successful
(Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA)) Using exhaust gas measurements taken from the roadside, a team from the University of York and Empa was able to prove the “Dieselgate” scandal has led to positive results. The forced retrofitting of thousands of VW diesel engines saves the environment throughout Europe considerable amounts of Nitrogen oxide (NOx).
