What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, a way of keeping up with the latest content from your favorite Web sites, usually in the form of a headline, a short summary, and a link to the full-text article or feature.

Using free newsreader software, you can quickly scan hundreds of the latest headlines from Web sites you've selected, instead of visiting those Web sites individually.

The NOVA and NOVA scienceNOW feeds will be updated with new articles, interviews, and other features as they are posted to the NOVA Web site.
