GPS and satellite data can be used in a real-time, coordinated effort to fully characterize a fault line within 24 hours of an earthquake, ensuring that aid is delivered faster and more accurately than ever before.
Water is essential to life on Earth. But what happens when demand outpaces the supply of water? Scientists have found that population growth could very well cause the global demand for water to outpace supply by the mid-century if current levels of consumption continue.
Scientists may have picked up a few tips and tricks from the rattlesnake as they designed their undulating snake-like robots. They've looked at the real thing in order to create a robot capable of taking rapid and even sharp turns.
Long before Mercury, Venus and Earth formed, our solar system may have harbored other planets. In fact, scientists believe that it may have possessed super-Earths, which are planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune.

If you heard that you were infected with two parasites, you'd probably think of this as a really bad thing. Well, not necessarily, according to recent findings published in the journal of Science Advances (at least for cattle, that is.)
Using a protein that's key to a squid's color-changing body, researchers have designed "invisibility stickers" that could one day help soldiers disguise themselves.
Men who exercise are more likely to perform better in bed. New findings published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine show that this includes fuller and long-lasting erections, regardless of race.
