Charles Darwin is famous for proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection, but how much more do you know about the British naturalist?

New research reveals for the first time how a major Antarctic ice shelf has been subjected to increased melting by warming ocean waters over the last four decades.

Since soon after our planet formed, Earth's 4.6 billion-year-long history was dominated by single-celled life. Something dramatic happened about 500 million years ago called the Cambrian "explosion," during which an incredible diversity of life forms became preserved in the rock

A study published in Environmental Research Letters has exposed for the first time, how inhabitants of the smallest countries globally, contributing least to climate change, already bear the brunt of its devastating consequences and the burden is likely to worsen.

A startling increase.

We don't know what it connects to.

The impacts could be chronic.

In February 2023, Google’s artificial intelligence chatbot Bard claimed that the James Webb Space Telescope had captured the first image of a planet outside our solar system. It hadn’t. When researchers from Purdue University asked OpenAI’s ChatGPT more than 500

SMRs attract major tech investment to curb emissions, though deployment challenges remain. New research suggests SMRs could help achieve emissions goals by 2050 with strategic government policies. Interest in small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) is surging, with tech giants like

A team will assess whether the West Texas lizard qualifies as a new species and merits conservation efforts. In the Chinati Mountains of western Texas resides a rare lizard known as Dixon’s whiptail. This swift reptile measures about 8 to

In regions with limited vegetation and low rainfall variability, the findings offer a global perspective on how extreme rainfall events impact health. A new analysis published in The BMJ reveals that extreme rainfall events are linked to a heightened risk

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope team has integrated the innovative Roman Coronagraph Instrument, marking a major milestone in exoplanet exploration technology. Installed at Goddard, the coronagraph aims to refine methods of observing planets beyond our solar system by reducing stellar interference.

Emerging evidence suggests that plate tectonics, or the recycling of Earth's crust, may have begun much earlier than previously thought — and may be a big reason that our planet harbors life.

Rising H5N1 bird flu cases in the U.S. prompted the CDC to study the virus in ferrets, revealing it may have the potential to spread and cause severe symptoms in other mammals.
