Lightning strikes in the far north could double by 2100. That means more wildfires, which could release massive amounts of planet-warming gas.

Seven years ago, a huge magnet was transported over 3,200 miles (5,150km) across land and sea, in the hope of studying a subatomic particle called a muon. Muons are closely related ...

NASA has delayed the first flight of its Mars helicopter to at least April 14 after an issue during a test.

Ingenuity was supposed to spin its blades at full speed on Friday, but a "watchdog" timer that identifies issues abruptly cut the test short.

We can't stop staring.

US researchers have unveiled a significant upgrade to the CRISPR gene editing system, which, unlike its predecessor, can target specific genes with high precision and make completely reversible changes.

A fossil of a skunk-like mammal that lived during the age of dinosaurs has been discovered in Chilean Patagonia, adding further proof to recent evidence that mammals roamed that part of South America

Bob McDonald's blog: The quest to understand the nature of matter and reality is ancient — and continuing

The skunk-like mammal inhabited southern Patagonia alongside dinosaurs.

The genus Homo originated with a brain that still had ape-like features.

“Ice shelves are important buffers, preventing glaciers on land from flowing freely into the ocean and contributing to sea level rise,” said Ella Gilbert, who co-authored the study.

When human’s very ancient ancestors took their first steps out of Africa, some 3 million years ago, their brains looked more like those of great apes. A new study says our big brains developed only some 400,000 years later.

One study includes DNA from the son of Neanderthal and Homo sapiens parents.

An unknown force seems to be making subatomic particles called muons act weirdly. That same force could be behind dark matter.

The high point of Ingenuity’s coming of age story is about to begin.

Recent studies suggest lightning in the far North could double by 2100 and that the increase may already be underway.

‘We can predict what Mount Etna wants to do by looking at the amount of gas which is emitted and the proportions of magmatic gas and hydrocarbons’

The Russian space agency Roscosmos and China’s National Space Administration (CNSA) recently agreed to establish lunar outposts on, and in orbit around, the Moon. This announcement ...

"All of the resistance, that is going to be gradually disappearing."

The impact that wiped out the dinosaurs would probably have killed you too—unless you were in the exact right place and had made the exact right plans.
