Same-sex sexual behavior may seem to present a Darwinian paradox. It provides no obvious reproductive or survival benefit, and yet same-sex sexual behavior is fairly…
People who get migraines are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, while some people who develop diabetes become less prone to migraines. Today, scientists…
Scientists say it is extremely challenging to try and predict when a supervolcano might erupt again due to the sheer diversity of events that have…
A recent study by Nagoya University researchers revealed that microRNAs in urine could be a promising biomarker to diagnose brain tumors. Their findings, published in…
A new class of exoplanet very different to our own, but which could support life, has been identified by astronomers, which could greatly accelerate the…
New research from University of Colorado at Boulder, could help scientists better understand the phenomena behind ‘sunspots’. The sun has long intrigued scientists. However, this…
In the summer, before you head to the beach or pool, you might slather on sunscreen. But is it doing anything beyond preventing a sunburn?…
International team of researchers describe a new fossil species representing the ancient forerunner of most modern reptiles. Lizards and snakes are a key component of…

The work sheds light on the web of hydrogen bonds that gives water its strange properties, which play a vital role in many chemical and…
Shelled organisms helped buffer ocean acidification by consuming less alkalinity from seawater. Third recent Northwestern study to detect calcification stress before and across ancient ocean…
Staying well hydrated throughout life could reduce the risk of developing heart failure, according to research presented at ESC Congress 2021.1 “Our study suggests that…
Nitrogen isotopes reveal that stratification of Arctic waters will prevent surface plankton from receiving enough nutrients to grow abundantly. As the North Pole, the Arctic…
“The distinction between the past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion,” Albert Einstein wrote. Perhaps this is nowhere more evident than in…
One of the biggest questions in evolution is when and how major groups of animals first evolved. The rise of tetrapods (all limbed vertebrates) from…
For home gardeners and farmers, herbivorous insects present a major threat to their hard work and crop yields. The predator insects that feed on these…
Many of the products we encounter daily — from deodorant to pesticides to paint — release molecules that drift through the air. Breathing in enough…
