Fossil evidence suggests there were many types of manatees. Scientists have put together the most comprehensive account of their ancestry.

A new study on rubisco, a photosynthetic enzyme thought to be the most abundant protein on the planet, shows that proteins can change their structural arrangement with surprising ease. The findings reveal the possibility that many of the proteins we thought w…

Inspired by the way termites build their nests, researchers have developed a framework to design new materials that mimic the fundamental rules hidden in nature's growth patterns. Using these rules, it is possible to create materials designed with specific pr…

Some space-crazed Calgarians who were hoping to watch the Artemis rocket launch from TELUS Spark's Infinity Dome early Monday morning will have to make a Plan B.

An international team of researchers has unearthed a skeleton possibly belonging to a sauropod dinosaur measuring 39 feet in height and 82 feet in length, which would make it the largest ever found…

How much do you know about our marvelous Moon? If you’ve got questions about it, we’ve got answers!

Dying reefs and once-vibrant corals that have since lost all colour: climate change is having massive effects on the architects of undersea cities. As waters grow warmer, the phenomenon of 'coral bleaching' continues to spread. Yet not all corals are equally …

Before our Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft can launch our nation into a new era of spaceflight, the duo must first undergo a wet dress ...

From the slime coating slugs to the saliva in our mouths, many slippery bodily fluids contain mucus. So how did this marvel of biology evolve?

Inspired by the way termites build their nests, researchers have developed a framework to design new materials that mimic the fundamental rules hidden in nature's growth patterns. The researchers showed that, using these rules, it is possible to create materi…

SLS is nearing its debut flight, with the Artemis I launch window opening this Monday…

When the Orion Crew Capsule orbits the Moon there will be no one on board. But the mission will mark a key step in bringing humans back to Earth’s dusty sidekick.

The giant mosasaur is called Thalassotitan atrox.

The sky is not the limit at Breckland Astronomical Observatory in Great Ellingham. Charles Bliss went on a space odyssey with chairman...

66 million years ago, this giant marine lizard from mosasaur species with its sharp teeth and crushing jaws was at the top of food web

Closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean and the subsequent formation of the Tibetan Plateau is one of the most significant tectonic events on Earth.

Scientific Reports - Catalytic activity and mechanistic investigation of 1D 2-Picolinic acid based Cu(II) coordination polymer in the selective construction of 1,4-disubstituted triazoles

This may one day make it possible to grow organs for transplant using synthetic embryo models.

A new fossil found in a man's backyard may be the biggest ever discovered in Europe. The Late Jurassic sauropod is 82 feet long and nearly 40 feet tall.

Researchers from Tufts University (United States) have shown how mRNA technologyPopularly employed by some COVID-19 vaccines, it is used to infect cells with

Similar to the way factories retool manufacturing in times of war, plants can reprogram their cells to fight off bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

Water is an important indication of presence of alien life. Now an exoplanet with oceans deeper than those on Earth has been found

mRNA booster protection against severe COVID-19 was 87% and didn't wane for 6 months, a new study shows.

A vast array of species, including people, use slime for a variety of essential bodily functions. Studying the genetic ancestry of slime surprisingly showcases the role of repetitive DNA in evolution.

The animal kingdom is practically dripping in mucus.
