Complex Climate System of the Indian Ocean

The climatic forces that interact to create the weather and monsoons in the Indian Ocean

How an Indian Ocean Dipole climate event acts like El Ni帽o and affects the Asian monsoon system. An air purifying system that could eradicate microbes, such as the flu virus, as well as bacteria. A traditional Madagascan tree bark remedy, which can kill the malaria parasite at a particular stage of infection, is being tested. The Antikythera mechanism, discovered in 1901, now believed to be a sophisticated astronomical device. Plus, a brilliantly white and well-camouflaged beetle in south-east Asia.
