Twisting laser patterns into a corkscrew-like pattern, rather than sending the light beams in a line, promises to relieve some data gridlock, say scientists A bottleneck in data rates is coming, some ...

Despite a warming climate, bone-chilling winter cold can grip parts of the U.S. In a study appearing in Science Advances, researchers found that two specific patterns in the polar vortex, a swirling ...

Even in a warming climate, brutal cold snaps still hammer parts of the U.S., and a new study uncovers why. High above the Arctic, two distinct polar vortex patterns — both distorted and displaced — ...
