Researchers unveiled megabeds formed by supervolcano eruptions in the Mediterranean Sea, offering insights into volcanic history.
The Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment transmitted a near-infrared laser encoded with test data from an astonishing distance of nearly 10 million miles.
Water from Earth's surface can find its way deep into the planet, and new research explains how it changes the outermost region of the metallic liquid core.
Undeterred after three decades of looking, and with some assistance from a supercomputer, mathematicians have finally discovered a new example of a special integer called a Dedekind number.
Scientists have discovered a strange new form of crystal that was forged in the world's first nuclear weapons test. Known as a "quasicrystal", the curious creation is arranged in an extremely rare atomic structure.
Down the deep and dark passageways of Mexico's mysterious underwater labyrinth, known for preserving incredible Maya relics, dwells a staggering wealth of microbial life.
Cuttlefish in the present study were all able to wait for the better reward and tolerated delays for up to 50-130 seconds, which is comparable to what we see in large-brained vertebrates such as chimpanzees, crows and parrots.
A new study finds that Earth itself has a pulse, with one “beat” every 27.5 million years. That’s the rate at which major geological events have been occurring as far back as geologists can tell.
A hospital in New York City, U.S recently said it had successfully performed the world’s first eye transplant and the patient is doing well.
Around 155 million years ago, a 5,000 km long piece of continent,Argoland, broke off western Australia and drifted away. As it turns out, Argoland is now in fragments, but is still there.
The phenomenon might play a role in the formation and evolution of fog and clouds, and thus would be important to incorporate into climate models to improve their accuracy.
A pyramid hidden within a hill on an island in West Java, Indonesia, could be the world’s oldest. Gunung Padang, also known as “mountain of enlightenment”, sits at the top of an extinct volcano and is considered a sacred site by locals.
Severe drought in Brazil has caused river levels to plummet, revealing rock carvings of human faces made up to 2,000 years ago.
Record concentrations of a helium isotope found inside 62-million-year-old Arctic rocks could be the most compelling evidence to date of a slow leak in our planet's core.
The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals and we’ve only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove greenhouse gases or trigger a medical breakthrough much like penicillin did.
