The results should help scientists better understand the factors controlling the timing of solar cycles and could lead to better predictions. The study w ... more

The rivals exchanged tit-for-tat warnings as the South unveiled a roadmap for the reunification of the Korean peninsula on the eve of a 10-day exercise involving some 56,000 South Korean and 30,000 American soldiers.
