Many plants and crops rely on insects to pollinate them so they can reproduce. A new study has shown that several flowering plants from the group Euonymus are pollinated by fungus gnats, a dipteran insect. Specifically, they pollinate Euonymus plants which ha…

This relative absence of feeding supermassive black holes also suggests the teenage universe was more stable than previously thought.

One of the smallest chromosomes in humans, the male sex chromosome is the final one to be fully sequenced.

Researchers uncovered how distinct neuron types in the Drosophila fruit fly differentiate their functions despite originating from a similar genetic framework.

Fossils of primitive cousins of T. rex that had short, bulldog snouts and even shorter arms have been discovered by scientists in Morocco. The two new dinosaur species belong to the Abelisauridae, a family of carnivorous dinosaurs that were counterparts to th…

Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying for decades to better understand how humans make decisions, in the hope to devise more effective interventions to promote healthy and beneficial lifestyle choices. Two brain regions that have been linked to d…

The newly discovered species, Prosaurosphargis yingzishanensis, grew to around 5 feet long and was covered in bony scales called osteoderms.

NASA has selected six U.S. small businesses to receive nearly $20 million in total to advance technologies to address two challenges in space exploration: orbital debris and surface dust.

The European Space Agency's ClearSpace-1 satellite was zeroing in on the spent payload adaptor from a 2013 rocket launch. Its task would be to extend arms, grab the chunk of debris, hug it tightly, and then pull it back into the Earth's atmosphere, de-orbitin…

The northern Pacific near Japan and Russia is home to several different groups of orcas yet they never interact, hunt different prey, communicate in distinct dialects, and avoid mating with one another. How can this be when they live so close to each other an…

Professor Juergen Schieber of Indiana University and a team of scientists have presented compelling evidence of wet-dry cycling on early Mars, indicating favorable conditions for prebiotic chemical evolution and potential life emergence. This cyclic
