The 40,000-year-old boomerang was made with an astonishing level of skill and ingenuity, say scientists.

He wouldn't do that on land.

A stunning amber fossil discovery reveals ancient "zombie fungi" that controlled insects' behavior millions of years ago.

John R. Casani, a longtime Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineer, project manager and researcher, died at the age of 92 last week.  Casani served a central role in many of NASA’s historic deep space missions, the space agency said in a statement.   Born in Phila…

Monday's release is just a taste of what's to come in the observatory's 10-year mission to record every visible change in the night sky.

It might look like something you'd find in an alien salad, but this bizarre sea slug can actually steal body parts from other organisms and use their powers for itself.

Could mini black holes be hiding right under our noses—possibly even in our homes?
