New findings published in JAMA Neurology reveal that continued smoking following the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) could accelerate the progression of the disease.
Mercury pollution in California may be coming from a surprising source: elephant seals. Scientists have found that molting elephant seals actually shed considerable amounts of mercury into coastal waters.
It turns out that our shoulders may be more evolved. Scientists have taken a closer look at the human shoulder in order to better understand evolution.
Do whales have culture? That may just be the case. Scientists believe they have new insights into the different dialects used by groups of sperm whales
A Swinburne University of Technology team has invented a "smart" bandage that can help the healing process.
Previous studies suggest that the mothers are likely the primary source of whooping cough infection in their child. However, researchers now believe that whooping cough, otherwise known as pertussis, may be more likely to be coming through the sibling, instead. The findings are published in the jour...
