In the 1960s, the Soviet climatologist and mathematician Mikhail Budyko set out to investigate the potential future of a planet on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. He started by looking some 600 ...

Modern neuroscience research published in the scientific journal Cortex partly supports that view, showing that the brains of intelligent people tend to work efficiently and briefly bulk up gray ...

The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is being launched later this month to study the outer reaches of the heliosphere which defines where our solar system ends and interstellar space ...

Saturday’s game between the Point University Skyhawks and the LaGrange College Panthers has been dubbed “The Battle On 29.” It’s a name that fits because both four-year colleges are located in Troup ...

New test scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as the Nation's Report Card, show eighth-graders' science scores have fallen 4 points since 2019 and ...
