Popular Science is great for this purpose. You can find many articles that have lots of technical language which can be difficult to comprehend without concentrating. You may have to sift a little bit to find the challenging articles.

I also liked Popular Science because science is one of the most popular RC topics on the GMAT.

Here is a MASSIVE list of potential reading sources, most are available online, but I have included a listing of helpful books as well. Bookmark the post so you can test out the different sources to see which ones you like best. The sources were not designed to give practice to GMAT students hoping to improve their RC, so you may have to look around a bit to find texts that are similar to the GMAT (i.e. look in the research section of the Harvard Magazine).
