A 130-million-year-old fossilized flower bud found in China may solve Charles Darwin's 'abominable mystery' that questioned when and how the first flowering plants evolved. The fossil includes a...
In a unique discovery, The remains of a monstrous, 33-foot-long (10 meters) "sea dragon" that swam in the seas when dinosaurs were alive some 180 million years ago have been unearthed on a...
The recently discovered planet TOI-674 b, a bit bigger than Neptune and orbiting a red-dwarf star about 150 light-years away, is a member of an exclusive club: Exoplanets, or planets around other...
Researchers at the University of Montreal in Canada used deoxyribose nucleic acid — or DNA, the building blocks of our genetic material — to make the world's tiniest antenna. It is designed to...
One of the largest invertebrates to have ever lived once roamed the beaches of ancient England. The giant fossil, called Arthropleura, is the largest-known invertebrate animal of all time, even...
Researchers at the University of Bristol have identified the huge impact of flowering plants on the evolution of life on Earth. Hundreds of millions of years ago, it's been suggested that most...
The world we experience is governed by classical physics. How we move, where we are, and how fast we’re going are all determined by the classical assumption that we can only exist in one place at...
The Bering Land Bridge connecting North America and Eurasia was periodically exposed and inundated by oscillating sea levels during the Pleistocene glacial cycles. This land connection allowed the...
With the wingspan of a small aeroplane, Quetzalcoatlus northropi was a pterosaur living in the wetlands of what is now Texas, USA over 67 million years ago. Researchers have found that its...
Baby seals may be the latest animal to have a similar trait to humans – raising their voice so they are better understood. A new study published Monday in the journal Philosophical Transactions of...
NASA’s revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope is hurtling away from Earth and toward deep space on a long-awaited, high-risk mission that, if successful, will look deeper into the cosmic past...
Ichthyosaurs were a successful group of large marine reptiles for most of the Mesozoic Era. These creature first appeared in the oceans after the Permian mass extinction, about 248 million years ago...
In one of the most well-preserved dinosaur embryos ever found, a baby dinosaur curled its back and tucked its head in a position that is similar to modern birds before they hatch, a discovery that...
For millennia, vast expanses of the Arctic Ocean have been untouched by humans, ocean where narwhals and other marine mammals lived undisturbed. Now that climate change is causing sea ice to melt,...
Earlier this month, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) shared footage of the barreleye fish, a deep sea creature that has a transparent forehead within which one can see its...
New research shows that simple changes to how UK solar parks are managed could boost ground nesting bumble bee populations in the parks and surrounding areas, providing an additional benefit on top...
A Canadian-German research team have documented a new type of earthquake in an injection environment in British Columbia. Unlike conventional earthquakes of the same magnitude, they are slower and...
Despite the simplicity of their appearance, the aquatic creatures (Hydra) possess supernatural and amazing powers - including the absurd ability to regrow their own heads if decapitated. Simple and...
There is a strange structure about to witness and record the end of the world as we know it, at the far end of the earth - hidden somewhere on the remote Australian island of Tasmania. The project,...
Paleontologists at the University of Chile in Santiago have discovered the remains of a 'extremely bizarre' ankylosaurus with a deadly armored tail unlike any other known dinosaur. This discovery...
