You may have heard that the brain has a mysterious functioning. So mysterious, in fact, that even today it is not possible to fully understand it. The brain's convolutions, on the other hand, contribute a great deal to this complex system. But do you know why the brain has a convoluted structure, or do its convolutions increase as we learn new things? Let's discover the answers to these questions and the mysteries of the brain, at least those that have been uncovered.

The brightest gamma ray burst was captured and it had scientists all over the world jumping out their seats since it was deemed as a “once in a blue moon” thing. Though, it seems that the gamma ray explosion could possibly hint towards the study of dark matter.

The InSight Lander, a NASA spacecraft, sensed ground quakes seemingly coming from the meteoroid strike impact, whereas the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's cameras observed the newly formed crater from space.

The usual plastic materials used during home furnishings and building supplies might be replaced by a new type of quasi wood-based compostable plastic. Unlike thermoplastics, the new material could be decomposed without compromising the environment, according to Swedish researchers.
