An innocent little moggy could help crime scene investigators identify suspects and/or victims as scientists develop a new method of DNA identification.
UK air pollution regulations will reduce deaths but do little to protect sensitive ecosystems, according to new research.
The intensities of caffeine responses vary, causing an energy “rush” in some, tachycardia and insomnia in others, or no effect at all, and guess what, genetics is involved.
Recent work sheds light on the probable impact of a body called Theia on the Earth. The event would not only have left its mark on the interior of our planet but would also have created the Moon.
Climbing just five flights of stairs can dramatically reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by a staggering 20%, research reveals.
Just like humans, other mammals can think about places and objects that aren't right in front of them, according to the findings of a new study.
A study has shown that accumulated snow on mountains melts faster when it is covered in dust. This problem is now forcing us to develop an evolution in water forecasting models.
The expansion rate of the Universe has two different but very precise values that are not compatible. This problem, known as the Hubble tension, joins other questions, such as the origin of dark energy and the flatness problem.
What caused the strong 'marsquake' recorded on Mars last year? An international study has investigated the causes of the seismic event, excluding the possibility of a meteorite impact.
New research suggests that climate change, which is driving the formation of hurricanes and typhoons, may be pushing oceanic seabirds like shearwaters to their limits.
A merger of two neutron stars offers a new explanation for how heavy elements are created in outer space. Find out more here!
