July has been so hot so far that scientists calculate that this month will be the globally hottest on record and likely the warmest human civilization has seen, even though there are several days left to sweat through. Thursday's announcement by the World Met…

The animal is a previously unknown species that may help researchers unlock secrets of surviving harsh environments.

GPS data can track slight tremors underground that could help predict earthquakes two hours in advance.

Armed with plastic boxes, a group of scientists from the University of Copenhagen sought to "vacuum" animal DNA from the air.

Electron-phonon scattering is often the primary mechanism limiting electron mobility in semiconductors. Thus, changing phonon properties can provide a way to control conductivity. Recently, there has been a growing interest in exploring the use of the quantum…

Minimocursor phunoiensis was likely about 6.5 feet long as an adult, researchers said.

The rock found in the Sahara Desert has compositions of Earth's crust and volcanic rock, along with signs that it was exposed to energetic cosmic rays.

Researchers created a revolutionary tiny and efficient thermoelectric device, which can help amputees feel temperature with their phantom limbs.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected water vapor swirling around a planetary system 370 light-years away.

Ancient viruses, sealed in permafrost for thousands of years, could survive and evolve to become the dominant free-living species- killing up to one-third of bacteria-like hosts.

New Webb image shows pair of nascent stars in exquisite detail, shedding new light on star formation.

Maxar Technologies snapped photos of Falcon Heavy before it launches their largest satellite ever.

As long as a paperclip and as thin as pencil lead, Illacme socal is no ordinary SoCal denizen – it uses 486 legs to walk wherever it goes

As the next generation of giant, high-powered observatories begin to come online, a new study suggests that their instruments may offer scientists an unparalleled opportunity to discern what weather may be like on far-away exoplanets.

Polymers with carbon–carbon (C-C) bonds (C-C polymers) in the main chain skeleton such as polyethylene and polypropylene are important industrial materials and are utilized as common plastics.

Paleontologists have identified a new species of dinosaur, the Minimocursor phunoiensis, after uncovering fossils at a dig site in northern Thailand. It's th...

Using Webb, scientists have discovered elusive chemical compounds, each on a different Jovian moon, including one that's a common disinfectant.

The Olympus Mons volcano on Mars shares morphological similarities with many active volcanic islands on Earth, suggesting that it formed when a vast ocean once occupied the planet's northern lowlands.

“This is not good news.”

Called DRACO, the in-space propulsion system could revolutionize the way we travel to distant locations.

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) researchers have developed one of the world's smallest, most intense and fastest refrigeration devices, the wearable thin-film thermoelectric cooler (TFTEC), and teamed with neuroscientists to help amputees perce…

The exploding comet, known as 12P/Pons–Brooks, is currently approaching its closest point to Earth during its 71-year orbit through the solar system.
