New findings published in a recent edition of JAMA show that there is not a common link between the MMR vaccine and autism, even when used among high-risk children.
Scientists may have found out not only how asteroids formed, but also how our planet was created.
Phytoplankton may remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, but they may also be spurring warming. Scientists have found that phytoplankton is potentially a key driver of Arctic warming under greenhouse warming.
Amazon rainforest losses may actually be worsening climate change. Scientists have found that as trees are cut down and removed, the carbon dioxide that's released could have a major impact on our environment.
Global warming may not be occurring quite as quickly as previously thought.
How is lightning created? That's a difficult question and now, scientists have used studies on exploding stars to help unlock the answer.
Astronomers have spotted the first ever exoplanet in the visible light spectrum. The exoplanet, called 51 Pegasi b, is located just 50 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Pegasus.
Coffee may actually protect women against breast cancer. Scientists have found that coffee inhibits the growth of tumors and reduces the risk of recurrence in women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and treated with the drug tamoxifen.
Scientists have long assumed that humans preferred particularly tolerant animals for breeding. Now, though, researchers have found that this may not be the case.
A new tabletop detector has the ability to spot single electrons. Physicists have developed a new particle detector that can identify individual electrons in a radiactive gas.
A record-setting strontium atomic clock may actually be getting even more precise. The latest modification on the block has achieved precision and stability levels that mean the clock would neither gain nor lose one second in 15 billion years, which is roughly the age of the universe.
In the hopes of enhancing work productivity, some adults are turning to ADHD medications as stimulants. But abusing this type of drug can be particularly dangerous, even when it may be to make successful strides in a competitive work environment.
