Nature has tried some pretty wild approaches to life's problems over the eons, and that's true for vision.

Study of modern DNA shakes up ideas of when and where contact happened.

A new ferroelectric polymer that efficiently converts electrical energy into mechanical strain has been developed by Penn State researchers. This material, showing potential for use in medical devices and robotics, overcomes traditional piezoelectric limitations.

Scientists on Thursday published a paper identifying and naming the worm, which they said belonged to a previously-unidentified species.

Phytoplankton absorbs carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and there's a relatively easy way to boost the world's populations.

The detector can sense as a few as seven to 35 coronavirus particles per liter of air — about as sensitive as a PCR test but much quicker.

A new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature suggests that climate change is causing the oceans to become greener, offering clues about how global warming is impacting the ocean’s ecosystem.

Data from ESA’s exoplanet mission Cheops has led to the surprising revelation that an ultra-hot exoplanet that orbits its host star in less than a day is covered by reflective clouds of metal, making it the shiniest exoplanet ever found.

Using an extensive computer simulation of the climate, the global economy and the global energy system, researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have been analyzing different ways of mitigating climate change, together with colleagues from the US, China, Ireland, Finland and Sweden.

Four volunteer crew members entered a Mars-realistic 3D printed habitat.

"We show that the perception of moral decline is pervasive, perdurable, unfounded and easily produced, and suggest that this illusion has implications for research on the misallocation of scarce resources, the underuse of social support and social influence."...

Researchers have created the first functional 3D-printed brain tissue that can develop and form connections in the same way as real human brain tissue.

Scientists in China have developed a method to produce spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, offering a strong, sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers with applications in various industries. Researchers have synthesized spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, producing f

A gene-editing technique makes mosquitoes produce antibodies against the malaria parasite, which could mean cases in people are also slashed

A way to passively achieve cooling below ambient temperature, using non-toxic common chemicals. 40 minute video, but very informative.

Genetic evidence reveals a long, previously unknown period of adaptation to cold climates in the history of ancient human migrations across the globe.

The newly identified titanosaur, Garumbatitan morellensis, roamed what is now Spain around 122 million years ago. The unusual shape of some of its bones could hold clues about the evolutionary history of a unique group of sauropods.

It's the first time the snake parasite has been seen in a human, let alone a brain.

An international research team including the University of Göttingen has described seven previously unknown species of leaf insects, also known as walking leaves. The insects belong to the stick and leaf insect order, which are known for their unusual appearance: they look confusingly similar to parts of plants such as twigs,...

The latest result is set to fuel optimism that progress is being made towards the dream of limitless, zero-carbon power.

"This is profiteering, not innovation."
