The remains of what could be the largest dinosaur to be found in Europe are being uncovered in a backyard in Pombal, a city in the central region of Portugal. The remains, that could correspond to a sauropod dinosaur with approximately 12 meters high and 25 m…

A dig more than 20 years ago uncovered the arm and leg bones of one of our oldest known ancestors. New research shows they provide evidence that our ancestors walked on two feet -- more than 7 million years ago.

The epaulette shark, a species of long tailed carpet sharks, has evolved the ability to walk on land over the past 9 million years, but recently has been found to do so much longer than ever before.

Someone taps your shoulder. The organized touch receptors in your skin send a message to your brain, which processes the information and directs you to look left, in the direction of the tap. Now, researchers have harnessed this processing of mechanical infor…

The work hinges on a novel, reconfigurable alternative to integrated circuits.

Without protection from the Earth's atmosphere, the sun becomes more deadly for humans. And we need some tools to survive the solar radiation.

Engineers and technicians use a crane to lift the main body of NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft in the High Bay 1 clean room of the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey shows a part of an unnamed crater in Terra Cimmeria. The finger-like projection from the southern rim towards the central peak is a landslide deposit.

But we probably won't reach the planet until the 2040s.

Astronomers can use the gravitational waves of merging black holes to measure cosmic expansion.

A "super-Earth" discovered using the TESS satellite might be a "water world," though more observations are needed.

The evolutionary origins of animals and fungi has been unravelled. The findings, published in the journal Nature, demonstrate how genomic data and powerful computational methods allow scientists to answer fundamental questions in evolutionary biology that wer…

Behold the surreal beauty of southern lights in these awe-inspiring new space shots by astronaut Samantha Cristoretti.

A Skoltech research team made a systematic review of publications on in vitro biocompatibility of carbon nanotubes and identified the manufacturing parameters that could make them safe for living organisms. The scientists selected about 200 papers published o…

Researchers say it is ‘first example of an engineering material that can simultaneously sense, think and act upon mechanical stress without requiring additional circuits to process such signals’
