Another twist in the tale.

It's puzzled astronomers for years.

This robot prototype was built at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to demonstrate the feasibility of a mission concept called SWIM, short for Sensing With Independent Micro-swimmers. SWIM envisions a swarm of dozens of self-propelled, cellphone-size robots exploring

A new University of British Columbia-led study shows that safeguarding key natural ecosystems across Canada can help reduce flood risks for more than half of the country's urban areas at high risk for flooding.

In the 21st century, the Earth's oceans are growing warmer and more acidic. This change is happening slowly over the long-term, but it can also cause short-term, local spikes.

Visualizing the potential impacts of a hurricane on people's homes before it hits can help residents prepare and decide whether to evacuate. MIT scientists have developed a method that generates satellite imagery from the future to depict how a region

A tantalizing mystery!

Scientists have linked a fossilized elephant skull from Kashmir with another from Turkmenistan, identifying them as a distinct species of Palaeoloxodon. These findings could fill gaps in the understanding of elephant evolution during the Middle Pleistocene. The giant fossil skull

The findings from the University of Bonn and LMU Munich challenge previous assumptions. Certain sequences in the genome regulate the activation or deactivation of genes. These regulatory elements, known as enhancers, were traditionally believed to occupy distinct locations on the

Researchers have uncovered how certain genetic mutations lead to unique spherical amyloid plaques in inherited forms of Alzheimer’s, offering insights that could advance our understanding of the disease and improve therapeutic strategies. An international collaboration led by RIKEN researchers has

The Sun's activity is what gives us beautiful auroras — but it also has dramatic negative effects on satellites that go around Earth in a low orbit.

Freshwater reserves on land and underground have dramatically declined over the past decade, raising concerns that Earth’s continents have entered a persistently drier phase. Scientists have discovered a significant drop in Earth’s freshwater supplies since 2014, influenced by factors including

A child in California caught bird flu amid a recall of raw milk in the state, but investigations have found no evidence that the case was caused by raw milk.

The mini-moon 2024 PT5, which has been orbiting Earth for two months and is likely a chunk of the moon, will now drift away from our planet in an orbit around the sun.
