New research by Flinders University scientists sheds new light on the reasons why two species of dolphins coexist in the northern Australian waters. Australian snubfin (Orcaella heinsohni) and humpback (Sousa sahulensis) dolphins live in sympatry throughou…

Researchers found that turnips, radishes and lettuce flourished in simulated Martian soil treated with alfalfa.

The crater dates to around 66 million years ago, but may or may not have been related to the dino-killing impact.

Imagine you go to a theme park with your family and you ask a park employee to take a group photo. A celebrity walks by in the background and waves at the camera, stealing the focus of the photo. Surprisingly, this concept of "photobombing" is relevant to ast…

ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) has imaged the result of a spectacular cosmic collision -- the galaxy NGC 7727. This giant was born from the merger of two galaxies, an event that started around a billion years ago. At its center lies the closest pair of supe…

The robotic freighter is scheduled to depart the ISS around 11:05 a.m. ET.

NEW YORK (AP) — Today’s sharks have nothing on their ancient cousins. A giant shark that roamed the oceans millions of years ago could have devoured a...

The cosmonauts were a little over two hours into their spacewalk when a voltage fluctuation was detected.

Also referred to as the "Ecosphere," the biosphere is a relatively thin zone of the Earth's surface that supports life.

<p>Bioprinting technology has grown along with stem cell research and has become a vital tool with diverse applications in the biological and medical fields.</p>

Faster computers, tap-proof communication, better car sensors—quantum technologies have the potential to revolutionize our lives just as the invention of computers or the internet once did. Experts worldwide are trying to implement findings from basic researc…

New research suggests that a giant shark that roamed the oceans millions of years ago could devour a creature the size of a killer whale in just five bites

Pluto is a dwarf planet orbited by a total of five known moons, four of which are too small to become spherical. The largest moon of Pluto is Charon.

The harder you hit something—a ball, a walnut, a geode—the more likely it is to break open. Or, if it does not break open, it's more likely to at least lose a little bit of its structural integrity, the way new baseball gloves do when players pummel them to m…

It could be the world's tiniest EEG electrode cap, created to measure activity in a brain model the size of a pen dot. Its designers expect the device to lead to better understanding of neural disorders and how potentially dangerous chemicals affect the brain…

Lungs are essential to many vertebrates including humans. However, four living amphibian clades have independently eliminated pulmonary respiration and lack lun

Dispersion paints are mostly used in households for painting walls and ceilings. An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Bayreuth has now analyzed the chemical composition of two typical dispersion paints and discovered a large number of sol…

NASA's giant new SLS rocket arrived at its launchpad Wednesday in Cape Canaveral ahead of a planned flight to the Moon in less than two weeks.

A new article assesses the impact of hydraulic fracturing on seismic hazards like micro-earthquakes, an important issue for the safety of workers and the continuation of mining operations.

It doesn't sound very tasty, however.

Researchers have developed a label-free and non-invasive Raman spectroscopy approach that can acquire microscopic images of biological samples and identify a wide range of biomolecules with unprecedented speed and sensitivity. The new technique is based on co…

This Sky-Watcher mini Dobsonian telescope is an excellent starter scope and you can now save 20% when you get it from Wex Photo Video.

It may sound like a scene straight out of a wild sci-fi movie but a Harvard teacher-student duo is serious about the potential of the project, which they claim is cheaper than sending a spacecraft outside Earth to catch an interstellar object.

A Russian cosmonaut was repeatedly ordered to drop what he was working on and return to the International Space Station's airlock because of an issue with his spacesuit. The spacewalk was cut short.
