How much does dark matter impact our planet? It could potentially influence mass extinction events on Earth.
How much can you learn about a person by their fingers? You can learn quite a bit, according to new research. Scientists have found that men with short index fingers and long ring fingers are, on average, nicer toward women.
Scientists have taken a closer look at some of the most effective predators in the ocean: white sharks. Now, they've found that these animals grow far more slowly and mature much later than previously thought, which could have implications for conservation efforts.
The study of languages can tell researchers quite a bit about language's origins. Now, though, they may have tracked down the ancestor of Indo-European languages, which was spoken thousands of years ago
A certain rocky exoplanet could tell researchers how our solar system was formed. Scientists have made some new observations of a small rocky world that may increase our understanding of how planets were first created.
Nicotine isn't healthy for people. It can cause a host of problems if we have too much of it. Now, though, researchers have found that the naturally occurring chemicals found in tobacco flowers and other plants may just be the right prescription for ailing bees.
It turns out that dark matter may be responsible for guiding the growth of supermassive black holes. Every massive galaxy has a black hole at its center and the larger that galaxy, the bigger its black hole. Now, scientists have taken a closer look at why the two are related.
It turns out that Neanderthals divided their labor based on sex. Scientists have found that there was a gender-based division of labor among Neanderthal communities, which reveals a bit more about how these ancient hominins lived.
Urbanization may increase the number of thunderstorms, according to recent findings published in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge may be a bit closer to finding a cure for Alzheimer's.
Vaccinations are essential in helping prevent the onset of some illnesses. New findings published in the journal Experimental Dermatology examine how to stimulate the skin's immune response by applying a needle-free vaccination.
