Scientists thawed and saw successful recovery from water bears after being frozen for 31 years.
Researchers found that a rare supernova might actually be an "impostor" in a close-by galaxy.
Researchers have found five hot Jupiter-like exoplanets, which have numerous Jupiter-like features.
Jawless fish brains may be more similar to ours than scientists ever expected. It turns out that the complex divisions in the vertebrate brain first appeared before the evolution of jaws, more than 500 million years ago.
Researchers found that the mystery 'hobbits' from the island of Flores are not Homo sapiens. They belong to a different species.
Scientists have created "mini-brains" in the lab in order to study neurological diseases. The tiny brains are made up of many of the neurons and cells of the human brain, and even have some of the same functionality.
Researchers have learned a bit more about the people of Easter Island. It turns out that the island's culture wasn't destroyed by warfare, as had been previously suspected.

Researchers from the University of Punjab in Pakistan have unearthed a 1.1-million-year-old stegodon tusk.
Scientists have announced the first successful effort to wiggle fingers individually and independently of each other using a mind-controlled artificial "arm." The new findings could be huge for those with prosthetic arms and devices.
A microchip has been used to build the first ever artificial kidney. Scientists are building an implantable, artificial kidney with microchip filters and living kidney cells that can be powered by a patient's own heart.
