It turns out that sunlight continues to damage skin--even after it gets dark. Scientists have found that much of the damage that ultraviolet radiation (UV) does to skin occurs hours after sun exposure.
This spring, Hubble will celebrate 25 years of operations at an exhibit at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. And now, former NASA astronaut and current senior advisor of space programs of the museum, Mike Massimino, has given his thoughts about the future of the telescope in an interview with HN...
A popular ingredient in soda may pose a cancer risk. Scientists have analyzed soda consumption data to characterize people's exposure to a potentially carcinogenic byproduct of some types of caramel color.
Researchers are taking a closer look at human migration out of Africa. They've examined two predominant hypotheses concerning the timing of this migration, and have found that one comes out on top.
The bottlenose dolphin didn't always live in the Mediterranean. Scientists have found that this charismatic marine mammal only moved to the region after the last Ice Age, about 18,000 years ago.
Scientists have uncovered a new trend in evolution. They've found that animals tend to get larger over time.
NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has officially completed the first of five deep-dip maneuvers designed to gather measurements closer to the lower end of the Martian upper atmosphere.
Astronomers are learning a big more about black holes and their fierce winds. By looking at the spend of ambient gas spewing out from a well-known quasar, researchers are learning how host galaxies and their black holes might have evolved at the same time.
The human brain has expanded dramatically over the course of our evolution. But how did the human brain get so big? Now, scientists have taken a closer look and have found a genetic code in humans that can enlarge mouse brains.
Scientists have found that in the coming decades, at least one-quarter of the world's wheat production will be lost to extreme weather from climate change if no adaptive measures are taken.
There may be some good news for tigers. Conservationists have caught a family of rare tigers on film deep inside China, more than 65 years after the species was largely wiped out in the country.
Trash enters our world's oceans in unprecedented amounts each year. Now, though, researchers have taken a closer look at the impact of manmade debris on marine species.
