Robots, mathematics, physics, climate simulations: All of these things rely on computers and computing. Computers, though, are quickly reaching their limits; they simply aren't fast enough and can't store enough information with smaller amounts of space.
Birds are quite an intelligent group of endothermic vertebrates. Their lightweight but strong skeletal structure gives them the opportunity to clearly navigate the skies and look for potential food on the ground. Yet did you know they are also capable of learning another language?
Dogs and mosquitoes have little in common, except perhaps, for their acute sense of smell. Before a mosquito even sets eyes on a new meal, it can smell a host's blood from across the room.
Were you born first, second, or third? Apparently, it doesn't matter. Scientists have found that birth orders don't necessarily affect your life down the line.
Why do human screams resonate so broadly? Scientists have discovered that human screams possess a unique acoustic property that activates not only the auditory brain, but also the brain's fear circuitry.
New findings published in the journal BMC Biology reveal that the British company Oxitec has successfully created genetically modified diamondback moths caterpillars.
Mind control isn't just science fiction. Researchers have designed a brain implant that can control the actions of mice with the press of a button.
Scientists have used a mathematical model to demonstrate that bacteria can control the behavior of an inanimate device like a robot.
Want to guess how old the oldest living sperm in the world is? Well just about 50 million years old, according to paleobiologist Benjamin Bomfleur.
Paleontologists have uncovered a new species of feathered dinosaur that's the largest to ever be discovered.
Statistics show that close to one in three seniors in the United States alone dies with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Now, research at the Rush University Medical center are examining how the neurodegenerative illness can affect some races differe...
Astronomers may have discovered a Jupiter-like planet orbiting a sun-like star that could, potentially, signal other systems like our own solar system.
