Abrahamic texts treat slithering as a special indignity visited on the wicked serpent, but evolution may draw a more continuous line through the motion of swimming microbes, wriggling worms, skittering spiders and walking horses. A new study found that all…

If you own a retro gaming console or have an old roll of packing tape, you’ve seen how plastics turn yellow as they age. Though the cause of this color change has long been attributed to the formation of molecules that act as dyes — the actual chemical change…

Defect inspection scientists from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology and The Chinese University of Hong Kong make a thorough review of new perspectives and exciting trends on the foundation of former great reviews in…

A large glacier in Antarctica that could raise sea levels by several feet is disintegrating faster than last predicted, according to a new study published Monday in the journal in Nature Geoscience.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured thousands of never-before-seen young stars in a stellar nursery known as the Tarantula Nebula.

In the early hours of Sunday, September 4, Solar Orbiter flew by Venus for a gravity-assist maneuver that alters the spacecraft's orbit, getting it even closer to the sun. As if trying to get the orbiter's attention as it cozied up to another body in the sola…

Tens of thousands of people gathered on Florida’s Space Coast to witness the launch of the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built. So it’s a shame it

A giant space tarantula has been caught by a Webb -- NASA's highly sensitive James Webb Space Telescope, that is.

The probe launched weeks after its sibling craft, Voyager 2. Since its launch, it got a close encounter with an intriguing moon and entered interstellar space.

Not only does organism's body have a biological clock that can tell the time of the day, it can also tell the time of the year. Researchers from Japan have found that one capable little molecule may be behind the mechanism by which the biological clock keeps …

The world's oldest mammal has been identified using fossil dental records -- predating the previously confirmed earliest mammal by about 20 million years -- in a new discovery hailed as 'very significant' by researchers.

Scientists have created remote controlled, cyborg cockroaches — which could one day aid during search and rescue missions or monitoring the environment.

Alveoli are the basic functional units of the human respiratory system, acting as tiny air sacs that exchange gases. Air inhaled through the mouth and nose flows into the lungs through the branched structure of the bronchial tubes, and the alveoli appear in t…

The discovery indicates that epigenetic inheritance could occur more frequently than previously believed. A fundamental discovery concerning a driver of healthy development in embryos might rewrite our understanding of what we can inherit from our parents and…

Scientists in Japan say these real insects are under the control of a solar-powered wireless module with a rechargeable battery.

Webb has revealed new details of stellar nursery 30 Doradus, known as the Tarantula Nebula.

Astronomers have captured from Maunakea the most detailed and complete images ever taken of the zone where the famed constellation of Orion gets zapped with UV radiation from massive young stars

The latest wonder from the Webb Space Telescope is a new look at the Tarantula Nebula, a swirling mass of...

By Lianne Kolirin, CNN The world’s oldest mammal has been identified using fossil dental records — predating the previously confirmed earliest mammal by about 20 million years — in a new discovery hailed as “very significant” by researchers. Brasilodon quadra…

Avoid while pregnant or trying to conceive: smoking, drinking, space travel.

Centuries before any lunar missions, human reverence for the Moon's beauty and influenced civilizations and religions, aided timekeepers and farmers, and inspired scientific inquiry.

A new study found that the locations of asteroid strikes in the distant past can be tracked by using crime scene tech.

For the first time, astronomers — including Cornell postdoctoral fellow Eileen Gonzales — have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of a planet outside our solar system.
