A start-up, Colossal Laboratories & Biosciences, made headlines earlier this week when the company announced an ambitious plan to create a “cold-resistant elephant with all of the core...
Scientists analyzed the well-preserved skin of one of the "strangest carnivorous dinosaurs ever discovered" in unprecedented detail, and found that its complex skin consisted of various patterns of...
A new study, published by Deakin University in Australia, found that birds, in particular, are developing larger beaks, legs and ears to better regulate their body temperatures. Rather than thinking...
Scientists have found evidence a “flying dragon” - known to have roamed the skies of the northern hemisphere - also set foot in Chile. The dinosaur belonged to a group of early pterosaurs that...
Have you ever wondered if scientists were able to recreate or clone dinosaurs again today? This question was posed by William Ausich, professor emeritus of paleontology at The Ohio State University,...
Black holes are spherical regions of such extreme gravity that not even light can escape. First discovered a century ago as shocking solutions to the equations of Albert Einstein’s general theory...
Stellarators, twisty magnetic devices that aim to harness on Earth the fusion energy that powers the sun and stars, have long played second fiddle to more widely used doughnut-shaped facilities...
Amphawa, a village located an hour's drive southwest of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, at the bend of the Mae Klong River. Until recently, tourists flocked there to watch a spectacular light show...

A semiaquatic whale that lived 43 million years ago was so fearsome, paleontologists have named it after Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death.
The newly discovered 10-foot-long (3 meters)...
Scientists have come up with a new design for small batteries, overcoming a fundamental problem by developing much denser cathodes that can be "electrolyzed" directly onto thin metal foil,...
China's Zhurong rover has traveled more than one kilometer on the surface of Mars as part of its mission to the planet, the official Xinhua news agency reported Monday.
The program of studies...
A joint Austrian-American research team has managed to solve a 50-year-old mystery in the astronomical community regarding the source of radioactive isotopes in our solar system. Is it from a...
A spectacular set of rings around a black hole has been captured using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. The X-ray images of the giant rings have revealed new...
For the first time, a research team from Brookhaven National Laboratory - one of the largest research laboratories in the United States of America - has been able to accurately monitor how light can...
Poison may be a means for some animals to defend themselves, but the success of this defensive plan is conditional on the poison cooks not tasting from their own poison. A dangerous neurotoxin Many...
