It turns out that smoke from fires can actually intensify tornadoes. Scientists have taken a closer look at the effects of smoke resulting from spring agricultural land-clearing fires and found that they actually intensify tornado conditions.
A newly proposed particle may be able to explain why no one has managed to detect dark matter. Scientists have found that this particle, if it exists, would interact strongly with normal matter and may solve the mystery of dark matter.
New findings published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry show that children who were abandoned via institutional care may be at an increased risk for the behavioral health problem.
Exercise is essential to our overall health and well-being. Yet too much could also cut our lives short.
