Search around on the internet and you can easily find thousands of images of severe weather, from fantastic bolts of lightning to giant tornadoes. But what is actually taking place in these images?

A year after President Obama announced a $100 million "BRAIN Initiative" to accelerate discoveries in how gray matter thinks, feels, remembers and sometimes succumbs to devastating diseases, ...

When astronomers first started finding “odd radio circles,” or ORCs, they were baffled. These faint, ghostly rings of radio ...

The finding offers tantalizing clues in the ongoing quest to piece together the origins of ORCs—mysterious, ring-shaped radio ...
