It turns out that vitamin waters and energy drinks aren't nearly as healthy as they claim. Scientists have examined their micronutrient compositions and have found that consumers stand to reap little or no benefit from these nutrient-packed drinks.
You can learn all sorts of things off of YouTube: how to play guitar, how to sew a shirt, how to bake a cake. Now, it seems as if robots can do the same.
We may be in for some troubled times as the climate changes. Scientists have looked to the past, and have found that during climate change events, parasitic infections rose; this could mean that these same parasites may also be on the rise in the future.
Scientists are taking a closer look at Greenland's ice sheet, and have discovered just how much meltwater is contributing to rising sea levels. They've found evidence that the rivers and streams flowing on top of the ice sheet could be major contributors to rising seas.
Bisphenol A, known as BPA, is produced in massive quantities to use in consumer products. Now, scientists have discovered that both BPA and BPS (bisphenol S) may cause alterations in brain development that leads to hyperactivity.
Scientists have learned a bit more about the the last common ancestor of all jawed invertebrates. By looking at a 415 million-year-old fish skull, they've discovered that this common ancestor was, most likely, not very shark-like and that sharks, in general, aren't "primitive."
It turns out that mass die-offs may be rising among birds and fish. Scientists have analyzed 727 mass die-offs of nearly 2,500 animal species from the past 70 years and found out that these events are increasing.
It turns out that fish have a "sixth sense." Scientists have found that fish have the ability to detect flows of water, which allows them to respond better to their environment.
Statistics show that seasonal affective disorder is estimated to affect 10 million Americans--a type of seasonal depression that's typically more common during the winter months when there's less sunlight. For those living in places like Denmark, residents are likely to be even more effected by cold...
Despite numerous warnings, many throughout the world continue to smoke. For those who do not take part, they may still be affected by those around them who take part in the potentially deadly habit.
The interbreeding of two malaria mosquito species in the West African country of Mali has resulted in a "super mosquito" that's now resistant to insecticide-treated bed nets.
Researchers at UT Southwestern have discovered hyaluronon (HA), a critical substance made by the body that protects against premature births caused by infection. For many countries, this is known as the leading cause of infant mortality.
