This week in the scientific process: researchers reported the first-ever shark sighted in Antarctic waters. Penguins beware! Biologists report that honey bees navigate more precisely than previously thought. And not all humans scare wildlife, it turns out.

Don't miss the chance to see six planets will line up in the night sky this Saturday.

Like rocks, egg shells can trap isotopes, allowing us to use them to date samples.

In the depths of Germany, a 290-million-year-old fossilized vomit has just revealed an unexpected story of life long before dinosaurs.

Scientists may have spotted a long-sought triplet superconductor — a material that can transmit both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. That ability could dramatically stabilize quantum computers while slashing their energy use. Early experim…

In places like Chernobyl and Fukushima, where nuclear disasters have flooded the environment with dangerous radiation, it makes sense that life might evolve ways to survive it.

"If confirmed, it could help us better understand both our own galaxy and general relativity as a whole."

But this is why they didn't drink it.

Science News: A fossilised dinosaur egg was uncovered in South America, and scientists are calling it a remarkable discovery. The egg is estimated to be around 70 m.

“We’re now targeting March 6 as our earliest launch attempt ... there is still pending work."

His shell was fluffy instead of shiny.

A new study suggests that ancient microbes once cast as oxygen haters may have actually learned to use the gas, offering a clue to how the first complex cells — and, eventually, all plants and animals — evolved.

Advancements have made it possible to peek into a faraway galaxy that presented big scientific implications.

"These galaxies are very old, which means stars were being formed in the early universe, earlier than our current models predict."

An ancestral complex in the Arizona desert, known as Mummy Cave (Tse Yaa Kin), could rewrite the history of the American Southwest.

A newly-discovered planet named Enaiposha, GJ 1214 b, is unlike anything found in our own solar system, similar to a "super-Venus"

A towering cliff in Italy has revealed hundreds of meters of perfectly preserved Triassic dinosaur footprints, exposing ancient herd behavior in dramatic fashion.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients or sudden drops in temperature—they quickly switch into su…

Almost half a century ago, a remarkable molecule called metallocene took center stage in chemistry, earning Geoffrey Wilkinson and Ernst Otto Fischer the Nobel Prize. These organic compounds, made of a transition metal "sandwiched" between two flat, ring-shap…

"Before XRISM, it was like we could see a picture of the storm. Now we can measure the speed of the cyclone."

: Good news: Team shows re-entry pollution can be measured. Bad news: There may be more of it coming

Two 325-million-year-old ctenacanth shark fossils discovered in Mammoth Cave shed light on ancient marine ecosystems.

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects." Published in Physical Review Letters, the results build …

In the depths of Colombia’s oceans, scientists have uncovered a captivating world of ancient, shimmering creatures that predate dinosaurs.
