BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A phenomenon called Kelvin waves has just been detected in the Pacific Ocean — a sign that the developing El Niño pattern is imminent. The International Sea Level Satellite, the ...

The brain’s cortex, which handles higher cognitive functions in mammals, is split into six distinct physical layers marked by varying cell types, sizes and connections—and new research suggests these ...

A new study has found high frequency propagating activity patterns in the motor cortex that contain details of upcoming movement -- information that could lead to the development of better ...

This visual model explores how shifts in mood, energy, and thought may drive the experience of bipolar mixed states. When mood symptoms shift rapidly, the experience can feel chaotic and unpredictable ...

The Milky Way galaxy is like a gigantic ocean gyre or eddy that spins and wobbles around its center. But our home galaxy also has a colossal wave rippling through it, pulling and pushing an ocean of ...
