The caldera may have blasted out its cryomagma in a single explosive event, or it may have spread its eruptions over time.

Eight of its journals will publish papers open-access each year they earn sufficient library revenue.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have identified a promising nonpharmaceutical treatment that rejuvenates aging brain cells and clears away the buildup of harmful proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.

In its latest postcard from Mars, the European Space Agency’s Mars Express returns to Acheron Fossae: a dramatic network of chasms carved into the surface of the Red Planet.

Three nano-glass spheres cling to one another. They form a tower-like cluster, similar to when you pile three scoops of ice cream on top of one another—only much smaller. The diameter of the nano cluster is ten times smaller than that of a human hair.

The one app I never expected is what has helped me become more mindful of the present moment.

Imagine a gamma ray laser that safely eliminates cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. A University of Colorado Denver engineer is close to providing researchers with a powerful new tool that could bring science fiction concepts closer to realit…

By recreating extreme conditions found inside deep space interstellar clouds, scientists have produced methanetetrol, or C(OH)4 – a 'super alcohol' that was long theorized about but never actually seen before.

Scientists identify Vibrio pectenicida as the bacterium causing sea star wasting disease.

Here’s why August 12 won’t be the best day to view the meteor shower and when California residents should try to see the Perseids event.

Earth will complete its daily rotation between 1.25 and 1.51 milliseconds faster than usual, and scientists aren't quite sure why.

Carbon and natural graphene have been found in lunar dust for the first time, opening up new opportunities for moon exploration.

Exceptionally preserved Cambrian fossils uncovered in the Grand Canyon show how evolution accelerated in resource-rich waters. An extraordinary cache of remarkably well-preserved ancient animals, dating back over 500 million years, has been unearthed in the G…

Unravelling Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history with rocks is tricky business.

Ancient predators once thought to be squids are now linked to arrow worms. The discovery highlights unexpectedly advanced features in these early animals. Fossils recently unearthed in North Greenland have provided key evidence to help scientists resolve a 50…

Astronomers have constructed one of the most detailed images yet of Abell 3667, a giant galaxy cluster about 700 million light-years away from Earth.

Many rovers and more will be headed to the moon.

How far we have come!

Primates—the group of animals that includes monkeys, apes and humans—first evolved in cold, seasonal climates around 66 million years ago, not in the warm tropical forests scientists previously believed.

White sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) almost went bottom-up during the last ice age, when sea levels were much lower than they are today and sharks had to get by with less space. The most recent cold snap ended about 10,000 years ago, and the planet has been …

It's common for juvenile salmon sharks to wash ashore this time of year, experts said.

Research shows that while connections between innovations speed discovery, they also sharply increase the risk of total system collapse—with the sweet spot for sustainable innovation proving surprisingly narrow.

Scientists have used an ultrafast laser to heat solid gold to 14 times its melting point without turning the metal into liquid.

The Sun has erupted with three powerful M-class solar flares in less than 24 hours, signaling the end of weeks of solar calm and raising concerns about potential impacts on Earth.
