Scientists are discovering and resurrecting ancient viruses trapped in permafrost and frozen remains. Here are 8 'zombie' viruses that scientists have pulled from the permafrost.

Paleontologists have uncovered a graveyard of ancient elephant relatives.

SpaceX postponed Thursday's launch of a Falcon 9 rocket carrying approximately 22 second-generation Starlink V2 Mini internet satellites from Cape Canaveral to Sunday morning.

The Permian extinction wiped out 70 percent of known land species. Those who survived had to get creative. Others fought for their last gasp.

In crisis, the nucleus calls antioxidant enzymes to the rescue. The nucleus being metabolically active is a profound paradigm shift with implications for cancer research.

There are two methods to measure the expansion rate of the Universe. The results do not agree with each other, and this is a big problem.

University of Washington researchers have discovered they can detect atomic "breathing," or the mechanical vibration between two layers of atoms, by observing the type of light those atoms emitted when stimulated by a laser. The sound of this atomic "breath" …

A new treatment tested on a high-quality steel alloy produces extraordinary strength and plasticity, two traits that must typically be balanced rather than combined. Ultra-fine metal grains that the treatment produced in the outermost layer of steel appear to…

What is the mass of the Milky Way? What do you get if you add up all the stars, gas, dust, black holes, planets, and dark matter? It's a tricky problem since we're embedded inside the Milky Way.

A new study may have found a missing link that helps explain the Earth's unique oxygen-rich atmosphere—and the evolution of animal life on the planet.

An international research team led by UCLA astrophysicists has confirmed the existence of the faintest galaxy ever seen in the early universe. The galaxy, called JD1, is one of the most distant identified to date, and it is typical of the kinds of galaxies th…

The sun's strong, dynamic magnetic field can catapult huge jets of plasma known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) out into the solar system. Sometimes these hit Earth, where they can knock out power grids and damage satellites.

'When it happens, the star will become as bright as the full moon, except that it will be concentrated in a single point.'

It is possible to gain deep insights into the tiniest details of materials and could envision them with the help of electron microscopes, for instance, the structure of solids, molecules, or nanoparticles with atomic resolution.
