When it comes to surviving mass extinctions, plants do a lot better than animals. Scientists have taken a closer look at the mass extinctions over the course of Earth's history and have found that plants are especially resilient during these events.
The Large Hadron Collider is almost ready to be up and back in action after its shutdown nearly two years ago. So what's in store for the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth? That's a good question.
There may be a new way to combat malaria--and that new way may be through bacteria.
For decades, scientists have examined the genetic advantage of sexual reproduction versus asexual reproduction. Yet theories of this genetic advantage have never been proven in humans--until now.
Ozone-destroying gases may be on the rise. Scientists have reported that chemicals that are not controlled by the United Nations treated designed to protect the Ozone Layer are contributing to ozone depletion.
Studying past climate conditions can tell researchers quite a bit about what we might expect in the future. Now, for the first time, scientists have used a new dating technique to show that a drastic climate change occurred in northern China 4,200 years ago.
Life may have flourished on Earth far earlier than anyone expected. Scientists have taken a closer look at some of our planets oldest rocks and have found that 3.2 billion years ago, life already pulling nitrogen out of the air and converting it into a form that could support larger communities.
Scientists have encountered a mystery above the surface of Mars. They've spotted strange plumes reaching high above the Red Planet's surface that they're unable to explain.
Penguins may have bad taste--and that's mostly because they don't have any taste at all. Scientists have found that penguins can't enjoy or detect the savory taste of the fish that they eat.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London found that stem cells could play a role in preventing obesity. They discovered that reducing the size of tiny hair like structures on the biological compounds can prevent them from turning into fat, as well as the risk of related health issues.
Much of our physical and cognitive health depends on regular exercise.
Researchers at the University of Iowa examine who's affected by muscular dystrophy.
