China: Typhoon Wutip Darkens Hainan Skies Ahead of Landfall in Hainan

This is the terrifying moment a massive wall of dark clouds engulfed the skies over Hainan as Typhoon Wutip approached southern China. On June 11, 2025, in Hainan, China, video captured thick, menacing clouds rolling in ahead of Typhoon Wutip's landfall. The sky turned eerily dark as the season’s first typhoon neared, creating a heavy, ominous atmosphere. The storm made landfall around 11 p.m. on June 13 along the coast of Dongfang, a city in Hainan, with winds reaching up to 30 meters per second and a central pressure of 980 hPa. Heavy rain swept through southern parts of the island, with some areas experiencing torrential downpours and localized extreme rainfall. According to China National Radio, by June 15, Typhoon Wutip had weakened into a tropical depression after moving inland into Jiangxi Province, and continued to lose strength. The video ends with the storm clouds blanketing the landscape as residents brace for the typhoon’s impact.

Japan braces for heavy snow, warns of traffic disruption

Snow fell in parts of northern and western Japan facing the Sea of Japan as a cold air mass blew into the archipelago Tuesday, with flights canceled and the weather agency warning of heavy snow in other areas and traffic disruption due to frozen roads. Wide areas of the country, including the Pacific side, could see heavy snowfall from Tuesday evening to Wednesday, as low-pressure systems near Hokkaido and south of Japan will bring the coldest air of this winter, making atmospheric conditions extremely unstable, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. As the strong winter patterns are expected to take hold through Thursday, some parts of the country could see their lowest temperatures in a decade, leading to a possibility of snowfall in Tokyo and Osaka, the agency said.

Atmospheric pressure plasma system for Kai Semiconductor

Kai Semiconductor (Shimogyo-ku,Kyoto City) will release on December 2 an atmospheric pressure plasma system "GaCo (get a command of)," which enables plasma processing of curved surfaces, which has been difficult to do at atmospheric pressure. By placing it on the object to be processed and tracing it, even curved shapes can be processed efficiently. The dielectric barrier discharge, which discharges at a low temperature, does not burden or affect the object. The standard model, the 200, processes 100 millimeters per second with a processing width of 200 millimeters and a maximum width of 1,100 millimeters. Plasma treatment is promising for use in pre-treatment to improve adhesion in the tempered glass coating process. In the case of curved surface treatment, vacuum plasma treatment is inefficient due to batch processing, and solvent treatment requires large equipment.

Amazing survival power of water bears

TOKYO, Japan - Water bears, a slow-moving animal measuring less than 1 millimeter in length (photo), can survive extremely high atmospheric pressure equivalent to 75,000 atmospheres, according to experiments conducted by researchers at Okayama University. The eight-legged water bears are known to survive in extreme environmental conditions, such as minus 250 C temperatures, extreme dryness and heavy radiation. Fumihisa Ono, an Okayama University physics professor involved in the project, says researchers applied 75,000 atmospheres of pressure to 20 dried up water bears and found that they all came back to life six hours later when they were given water moisture. Five of them were still alive 12 hours later. Scientists say the cells of most animals die when exposed to more than 3,000 atmospheres. (Photo provided by Fumihisa Ono) (Kyodo)
