As temperatures drop this winter, scientists are looking at new ways to keep us warm. Now, they've announced that they've created a new nanowire coating for clothes that can both generate heat and trap heat from our bodies better than regular clothes.
Scientists have found that in the Andaman Sea, internal waves can temporarily cool down the water temperature around corals by up to ten degrees, which could save reefs.
Citizen scientists are making more and more discoveries each day. Now, a NASA-sponsored website designed to crowdsource analysis of data from the agency's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission has reached a new milestone.
A new image from ESO seems to be missing a few stars.
Scientists are getting in some stunning exoplanet images and spectra from the first year of science operations with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI). Now, researchers have shown these new images as the GPI continues its operations.
Scientists are getting a closer look at a supermassive black hole about 100 million light-years away. At the center of a galaxy known as KA 1858 is a black hole that now researchers have examined a bit more closely.
A massive, cosmic impact probably wasn't responsible for the mass extinction event that killed off mammoths.
Astronomers have discovered eight new planets in the "Goldilocks" zone of their stars, orbiting at a distance where it's neither too hot nor too cold and where liquid water can exist on the planet's surface.
A drug that's already used to treat overactive bladder may be beneficial for burning fat, according to recent findings published in the journal Cell Metabolism. Researchers found that it helped to reduce white fat stores, while boosting brown fat that helps burn energy that's needed for body heat.
Recent findings published in the journal Injury Epidemiology show that the drug overdose epidemic may soon be ending. Researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health studied smallpox in the mid-1800s and discovered that the rate and duration of the epidemic's rise was also mirro...
