New evidence from fossils representing two groups of human ancestors—Australopithecus and early Homo—adds an important piece to the puzzle about when our ancestors transitioned from a life often spent ...

In a discovery that challenges our understanding of dinosaur distribution during the Late Jurassic period, palaeontologists have identified the first evidence of the iconic Diplodocus outside North ...

The discovery of water in dark craters at the Moon's poles has sparked a ‘moon rush’ to establish bases there, and then villages, cities, and heavy industry. How sustainable is this rush? Soon after ...

Exposure to light during the nighttime is linked to important and potentially harmful changes to the structure and function of the heart, according to a study of more than 11,000 people published in ...

Air pollution leads to different risk of bacterial pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis, depending on the subtype of bacteria a person has, new research suggests. The new study comes from the Wellcome ...

Today, several leading climate scientists published research showing that warming-induced emissions—greenhouse gas emissions from natural sources driven by rising temperatures—could amplify global ...

The 90 hours timelapse video shows enzymatic degradation of two different molecules that mimic nylon. The second and fourth vials show CC PUR1 breaking down the two molecules, while the first and ...

About 66 million years ago, a dinosaur—maybe a T. rex or a Nanotyrannus—ate a bird. The record of that meal, in the form of fossilized poop, has survived to today, preserving the best example of a ...
