What looked like lifeless rock turned out to contain fossils, and the discovery is nothing short of astonishing.

Three huge tectonic plates meet at the Mendocino triple junction off the coast of northern California, and a new study reveals that the underlying geology is significantly more complex than current models show.

A breakthrough in AI has uncovered hidden patterns in fingerprints that experts never thought existed. This discovery could upend over a century of forensic science, challenge the reliability of biometric security, and force courts to reconsider long-held ass…

For almost two decades, scientists have debated whether sponges or comb jellies are the first animal lineage. Now some are calling for a more harmonious approach.

But we likely won't be able to enjoy it here on Earth.

The Ediacara Biota are some of the strangest fossils ever found—soft-bodied organisms preserved in remarkable detail where preservation shouldn’t be possible. Scientists now think their survival in sandstone came from unusual ancient seawater chemistry that c…

NASA's James Webb Telescope reveals the sharpest-ever map of dark matter, confirming its role as the universe's "invisible scaffolding." Discover how dark matter's gravity shaped galaxies and paved the way for life on Earth.

The Sky-Watcher StarQuest DX130P Newtonian reflector is a quality set for beginners, delivering heaps of value for the price.

The Kilauea volcano, in Hawaii, has been acting up lately, and all kinds of nasty stuff is pouring out of it. But perhaps the chemical of most concern – sulfuric acid – doesn't come from the volcano itself. It results from the expulsion of huge amounts of sul…

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far."

Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web of protein fibers around it called a spindle. The spindle extends its many fibers from the chromosomes in the center to the edges of t…

"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet."

Long feared as a silent killer, hydrogen cyanide may have been a key ingredient in the origin of life on Earth.

A solar storm could wreck havoc on our satellites and send them all crashing into each other, creating an unstoppable debris storm.

A rare solar eclipse is set to unfold in one of the most remote places on Earth. But who will actually be there to witness it?

The scarring that indicates cardiovascular disease in humans appears not to affect the sharks' hearts.

Dark matter doesn't absorb or give off light so scientists can't study it directly. But they can observe how its gravity warps and bends the star stuff around it.
