Pink fairy armadillos, which are just 6 inches long, appear to have evolved a strange double skin millions of years ago as they moved underground in response to the climate becoming more arid.

researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered that love leaves a lasting mark on the brain

The genetic alphabet contains just four letters, referring to the four nucleotides, the biochemical building blocks that comprise all DNA. Scientists have long wondered whether it’s possible to add more letters to this alphabet by creating brand-new

Despite all our cells sharing the same DNA, there are thousands of different cell types in the human brain, each with a unique structure and function. One longstanding problem in neuroscience is determining how genes are switched on and off to form t

Crocodile-like skin from a reptile is 130 million years older than the previous record for fossilized skin, researchers say.

Aggressive little male fish from Indonesia turn black when angry to show their dominance, scientists discover.

The slime eel genome has helped to unravel the evolutionary history of genomic duplications that occurred in the ancestors of vertebrates, including humans.

A new study precisely dates ancient multicellular fossils, uncovering key moments in Earth's history and the evolution of complex life after a global ice age. Research led by Curtin University has for the first time precisely dated some of the oldest fossils …

With so much processing applied to raw data, many wonder how 'real' space images like those captured by the Webb Telescope are.

As industrial computing needs grow, the size and energy consumption of the relevant hardware must keep up with those demands. A solution to this dilemma could lie in superconducting materials, which reduce that energy consumption exponentially. Imagi

Discover how robotics, once confined to industry, now draws inspiration from nature, revolutionizing fields from automotive to agriculture.

An eruption over 520,000 years ago shows South Aegean Volcanic Arc was far more dangerous

Monotremes belong to a group of mammals that lay eggs rather than giving birth. They share common characteristics, such as having a cloaca—a single opening for excretion and reproduction— and mammary glands but lacking teats. The reproductive system of monotr…

Start the new year by sorting out your lab’s cold storage, to simplify purchasing, improve experiment planning and reduce the frequency of lost samples.

Researchers have observed a 'Hot Jupiter' exoplanet, WASP-69b, losing its atmosphere into space due to its nearby star's intense energy. The study offers a unique chance to understand mass loss in real-time, which is critical in explaining the demographics of…

Evidence of a previously unknown underwater eruption, one of the largest in the southern Aegean volcanic arc and older than the one that wiped out the Minoan civilization, has been discovered by a multinational team of scientists on the island of Santorini.

The observations hint that the density of dark matter changes over time, and can potentially transform our basic understanding of the universe.

Galaxies are like big families of stars, dust, gas, and invisible dark matter. Sometimes, these galaxies collide, and when they do, the strong gravitational forces can completely change them.

Nasa has completed the internal Flight Readiness Review moving the crew one step closer to launch.

The lack of gravitational pull in space is what keeps the universe together, or else all planets and stars will start falling into an endless void.

NASA's Hubble Telescope has taken to social media, delighting space enthusiasts with stunning images of three distant galaxies.

Scientists reassessing a partial skull first unearthed in 1983 in southeastern New Mexico have concluded that the fossil represents a new species of Tyrannosaurus.

Enter EX-Fusion, an Osaka-based startup with a bold plan: zapping space junk with lasers from Earth.
