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
Despite billions of years of evolution, researchers have found all living things appear to follow the exact same underlying temperature rule – with troubling implications for a warming planet
A new study published in the journal The Innovation announces a new Archaeopteryx that has been added to the scientific record.
A big wave of aluminium from ageing cars is about to hit recycling yards, and researchers say they have found a way to turn that lower-value scrap into strong metal for new vehicles
A new study finds that tiny plastic particles can accumulate inside immune cells, interfering with their ability to remove dying cells and maintain healthy tissues.
During the Big Bang, matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts. But the world around us is largely made up of matter. To understand why, scientists want to create antimatter and send it to labs where they can be studied in detail.
Satellite imagery has revealed vast green patches among the ice in the ocean surrounding Antarctica. Behind this phenomenon lies an explosion of microscopic life that scientists are closely monitoring.
