The American astronaut, electrical engineer and physicist has made history by becoming the first woman to travel to the Moon, a milestone that goes beyond science and opens up new opportunities in space exploration for future generations of researchers.
Scientists uncover a fossil site revealing diverse early animals existed before the Cambrian Explosion, suggesting complex life evolved earlier than believed and offering new insights into evolutionary history.
A cute, newly discovered Korean baby dinosaur, Doolysaurus huhmini, named after a cartoon icon, was revealed through CT scans, uncovering hidden bones, diet clues, and rare insights into its life.
A Rutgers graduate’s research suggests meteor impacts may have created chemical-rich, hydrothermal environments that could have supported life’s origin on early Earth, expanding theories beyond deep-sea vent systems.
The world has reached an important milestone, with 10% of the ocean now officially protected. However, a nasty surprise awaits in many so-called protected areas.
Carbon and methane are leaking from thawing permafrost faster than previously thought; what does that mean for climate change?
How does dissolved organic carbon move in the ocean? With the help of AI, Manchester researchers have the answer.
Around 12,800 years ago, Earth was warming steadily out of the last ice age – and then temperatures across the northern hemisphere plummeted. What caused that sudden reversal has been debated ever since.
Days have lengthened by the equivalent of 1.33 milliseconds per century in the past 20 years. The change may affect precise systems that rely on accurate data on the earth’s spin.
The UN’s weather agency, warned earlier this week that the Earth's climate is further out of balance than at any time in recorded history. There are now also worries that El Niño will exacerbate impact. How could this happen?
An experiment with a mouse showed that genetic mutations affect future generations until reproduction stops, raising the question of why cloning should never reach humans.
When AI started breezing through the tests humans built to challenge it, researchers from around the world decided to build something it genuinely couldn't pass – and the scores are quite telling
