Scientists may have solved a long-running mystery about the first stages of plant life on Earth. They found that our planet was once covered with a film of ancient alga that was able to inhabit land before it went on to evolve in the world's first plant.
The 3D billboard that was present in the movie, "Back to the Future Part II," may actually exist in a few short years.
The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2015 has officially been awarded to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald for their key contributions to the experiments which have demonstrated that neutrinos change density.
It turns out that magnetism may have more of a role to play in bird migration than once expected. Scientists have found new evidence that reed warblers rely on a geomagnetic map to point them in the right direction.
Physicists may have managed to shrink the particle accelerator. They've managed to build the first prototype of a miniature particle accelerator that uses terahertz radiation instead of radio frequency structures.
Astronomers are taking a bit of a closer look at our galaxy's stellar nursery. They've released the most comprehensive images anyone has ever seen of the Milky Way Galaxy's cold interstellar gas clouds where new stars and solar systems are being born.
Finding life beyond Earth has been a major project for scientists across the world. But where exactly should researchers point these telescopes? Scientists are now comparing and ranking exoplanets to determine which ones most likely host life.
Global warming may be linked to increasing wildfires. Scientists have taken a closer look at the wildfire history in Colorado's mountains and have found that large fires will continue to increase in a warming climate.
It turns out that major volcanic eruptions don't just have an effect on Earth's atmosphere; they also may impact the world's water. Scientists have found that volcanic eruptions affect the flow of the world's major rivers.
A staggering 31 percent of the world's cactus species are threatened with extinction.
It's a bit like the Jurassic Park version of gourds. Students have managed to revive an extinct form of squash that's been gone for hundreds of years.
Tiny, photosynthetic power cells may be the green energy source of the future. A novel micro-technology can capture the electrical power generated by the photosynthesis and respiration of blue-green algae.
