Do rats dream? They apparently do. When rats rest, their brains simulate journeys to a desired future, such as a tasty treat, according to new research.
It turns out that vast quantities of ocean water don't just circulate through the ocean itself; it also circulates through the seafloor.
It turns out that there may be more endangered pygmy sloths in Panama than previously estimated. Researchers have found that the population size of the pygmy sloth hasn't been properly counted.
It turns out that mosquitoes and humans may be in an evolutionary arms race. Each time you put on bug spray in the summer, you're striking at these insects-and they're adapting.
Understanding ocean mixing a bit better may help scientists better understand climate.
Glacial quakes may actually help researchers track massive ice loss.
Corals may already be adapting to global warming.
It turns out that genetically modified wheat may be falling a bit short. The GMO, which was designed to repel aphids, hasn't managed to do so in a field test.
Starfish that clone themselves actually live longer. Scientists have found that starfish that reproduce through cloning avoid aging to a greater extent than those that propagate through sexual reproduction.
Researchers may have unearthed the egg of an extremely rare species-in a museum drawer. Scientists have found an egg from a plover-like species that may be one of a kind.
Researchers may have discovered a new species of dinosaur. They've uncovered a 200-million-year old specimen that they've now named Sefapanosaurus.
Scientists may have discovered why parrots are so good at imitating sounds. They've uncovered key structural differences in the brains of parrots that may explain the birds' ability to imitate human speech.
