The largest animals to ever walk the earth, giant sauropods dominated world ecosystems for 100 million years. New research indicates soft ‘heel pads’ helped them reach their stature.

LONDON, Aug 11 — The world’s biggest ice sheet could cause “several metres” of sea-level rise over centuries if the global temperature rises more than 2°C, according to a...

Global mean sea level has risen 101 millimeters (3.98 inches) since 1992, and it continues to do so at 3.9 mm (0.15 inches) per year.

Some internet users questioned a colorful image posted on Twitter that a French scientist said was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Among the many payloads being discussed will be Near-Earth Asteroid Scout, which NASA JPL co-manages with the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center.

The Curiosity Rover has been gathering data from Mars and sending it back to scientists on Earth for 11 years. In that time, it's traveled more than 28 kilometres and gained 609 metres in elevation at Mount Sharp on the Martian surface.

In a new study, researchers described ecological firewalls (EFWs) to contain synthetic microbes.

In a new University of California, Irvine-led study, researchers define how the circadian clock influences cell growth, metabolism and tumor progression. Their research also reveals how disruption of the circadian clock impacts genome stability and mutations …

A meteor shower you won't want to miss. Gary Boyle, The Backyard Astronomer, tells us we are currently passing...

It looks like an aurora, but remains a phenomenon "completely unknown" to science.

A new study shows that 87 genes have been affected by deletions or short insertions during the course of the mammoth's evolution. The researchers note that their findings have implications for international efforts to resurrect extinct species, including the …

Scientists recently trapped a giant isopod off the coast of Mexico, and after studying its anatomy and DNA, they determined...

The newly described species can grow to one and a half feet long.

On August 2, NASA released a new picture taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. This pink wheel is called the Cartwheel Galaxy. Its center is made of hot dust. Meanwhile, the outer part of the wheel has been expanding…

Astronomers have long sought the launch sites for some of the highest-energy protons in our galaxy. Now a study using 12 years of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope confirms that one supernova remnant is just such a place.

Sustained space exploration will require infrastructure that doesn't currently exist: buildings, housing, rocket landing pads.

Antarctica’s ice shelves have helped insulate it from dangerous levels of ice loss. But this is changing.

The ISME Journal - Increased genetic diversity loss and genetic differentiation in a model marine diatom adapted to ocean warming compared to high CO2

Study shows world’s largest ice sheet not as stable as thought, and could drive up sea levels if global warming is not limited to 2 degrees

Recently, scientists from the French National Institute for Agriculture provided new insights into the control of flowering dates in Prunus species, paving the way for development of molecular breeding strategies.

It appears Group 3 is particularly prone to "close encounters" due to its orbit lining up with the space debris.

An evocative new image captured by the Gemini North telescope in Hawai'i reveals a pair of interacting spiral galaxies—NGC 4568 and NGC 4567—as they begin to clash and merge. These galaxies are entangled by their mutual gravitational field and will eventually…
