The rotation of Earth's inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse, new research suggests.

In a study led by a team at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), published in Nature, researchers uncover for the first time the mechanism that likely explains how embryos form either a larva or a miniature version of the adult.

This is not an Earth-stopping event however.

Polyaire’s AirTouch 5 has broken new ground with its Intelligent Temperature Sensor (ITS) technology, which provides more precise temperature control.

A recent study details the discovery and application of a plastic-eating bacteria.

Investigators have developed an artificial skin that is even more sensitive than human skin in its ability to detect pressure applied by an object as well as it

Imagine a hot and dry summer day, it might have been dry and hot for a long time. The birds are singing and the irrigation machines in the fields are running at full speed. But what does irrigating crops really mean for farmers' yields and how does it affect …

Scientific Reports - Double-diffusive peristaltic MHD Sisko nanofluid flow through a porous medium in presence of non-linear thermal radiation, heat generation/absorption, and Joule heating

On December 12, from 251 km above the surface of Mars, the HiRise camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted...

Tim Peake: Secrets of Our Universe to head wave of high-end shows as broadcaster pivots upmarket

Researchers from Osaka University have identified a protein, FER1L5, that is essential for sperm to acquire fertilizing ability. Sperm from mice lacking this protein were unable to undergo the “acrosome reaction”, which releases molecules that facilitate fert…

Over the past few years, citizen scientists from the Heritage Quest project have scoured the entire Veluwe and Utrechtse Heuvelrug areas for unknown archaeological heritage. One of the results of this research is that the number of known burial mounds in this…

Climate change is considered one of the most pressing problems of our time. In this context, soil plays a greater role than might be expected. Soil can simultaneously store CO2 from the atmosphere and emit CO2 through microbial decomposition of organic matter.

The phenomenon occurs semi-regularly, according to scientists who would really prefer that you not stress out about this.

New research aims to ensure astronauts' health by mimicking the human body's response to exercise.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows a portion of Sirenum Fossae. The linear features are tectonic graben. Graben are formed by extension of the crust and faulting.

That humans originated in Africa is widely accepted. But it's not generally recognized how unique features of Africa's ecology were responsible for the crucial evolutionary transitions from forest-inhabiting fruit-eater to savanna-dwelling hunter. These were …

Fossilized mammals reveal patterns of Arctic migration in warming climates

Fertilization is the union of two cells: an egg and a sperm. Before the egg and the sperm fuse, an event known as the "acrosome reaction" needs to occur in the sperm. Now, a team from Osaka University has identified a protein called FER1L5 that is essential f…

During the Eocene, the Arctic was a warm, swampy place that these primates called home.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital used the auxin-inducible degron 2 system on CTCF, bringing the novel approach to bear on a fundamental pro

Imagine showers of little green sand grains drifting through the ocean: collecting on coral reefs, rolling off the backs of whales, sprinkling schools of tuna — and helping to save all those creatures, and humanity, too. At least that’s the idea. These green …

Say cheese, Percy. You're doing your part to get Mars rocks back to Earth.
