An idea about the sun’s magnetic field called the terminator model could help predict dangerous space weather more accurately ...

Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...

Tyson’s ultimate goal was to image large swathes of the sky, measuring how galaxies’ shapes distorted as their light ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

Time travel is deterministic and locally free, a paper says —resolving an age-old paradox. This follows research observing ...
