In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers at the University of Tuebingen and Imperial College London assessed humoral and cellular immune responses elicited by the recombinant adenoviral vector (rAdVV)- and messenger ribonucleic ac…

Researchers present the most precise test yet of the weak equivalence principle, a key component of the theory of general relativity. The report describes the final results from the MICROSCOPE mission, which tested the principle by measuring accelerations of …

The internet has come together to name a future Uranus probe and the results are exactly what you'd expect for this iconic planet.

Curiosity is navigating through terrain that is difficult to traverse.

In the past five decades, the seas have been pushing extremely hard to reduce worldwide change; collecting around 40% of our CO2 emissions and more than 90% of the extra heat stored in the air.

Researchers used data from large studies that contained laboratory measurements of two-drug combinations of 12 anti-tuberculosis drugs. Using mathematical models, the team discovered a set of rules that drug pairs need to satisfy to be potentially good treatm…

As Las Vegas and other Southwestern cities look for ways to reduce water use during a historic drought, the removal of grass lawns and other areas of "nonfunctional turf" has been recommended by the Southern Nevada Water Authority and written into Nevada stat…

Scientists say it's the unique pelvis that allows humans to walk upright on two legs, while also making it possible for mothers to give birth to babies with large heads (housing those big brains).

The cosmic gem might have formed after a long-ago collision.

The ESA astronaut holds the record for the longest uninterrupted spaceflight by a European woman.

New research shows that glaciers on Mars moved very slowly, which could have allowed ancient life there to survive.

The Hubble Space Telescope, NASA’s iconic photographer of deep space, captures two distant spiral galaxies overlapping.

The sun is so far away from Earth that it would take eight seconds for that huge ball of gas to reach us traveling at a

A Melbourne study has found babies born premature have comparable mental health outcomes with their peers in adulthood. It's one of the first longitudinal studies to track the health of premature babies born into modern neonatal intensive care.

Everybody's starry-eyed.

Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build advanced synthetic cells which mimic real life functionality.

Millions of mangroves died off along Australia’s northern coast. The cause? El Niño - and the moon’s wobbly orbit causing extremely low tides.

Glacial microbiologist Joseph Cook says they are amplifiers of climate change, speeding up the melting of ice sheets. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Five years ago, the mysterious object dubbed "Oumuamua" streaked across our sky. Scientists still have no idea what it is.

This nebula is about 100 times wider than the Sun is to its nearest star. It is 5,500 light years away and is an active star-forming region.

Are you under the impression that the colour of the Sun is yellow? Well, you'll be amazed to know that yellow is not its true colour. The colour of the sun i...

One would be hard-pressed to take a walk outside without hearing the sounds of calling animals. During the day, birds chatter back and forth, and as night falls, frogs and insects call to defend territories and to attract potential mates. For several decades,…

Crops bred to thrive in single-crop settings begin adapting to growing in multispecies environments over just two generations, shows a new study.
