When there are disturbances in which the Jet Stream weakens, it can become wobbly. This allows the cold air to plunge southwards. A disrupted polar vortex does not happen every year. Very much so what ...

Ferroelectrics at the nanoscale exhibit a wealth of polar and sometimes swirling (chiral) electromagnetic textures that not ...

Lows are expected to be colder than usual thanks to an Arctic air outbreak from the polar vortex that still won't clear out until later this week. There's still a cold weather advisory in effect ...
