Genetic analysis of the giant woolly mammoth reveals a surprising amount of genetic diversity over a million years.

Look back at the best views the powerful NASA space telescope captured.

Fish taxies—refrigerated cargo vessels or reefers that function as mobile ports for fishing boats—are frequently described as weak links in the traceability of the seafood value chain. For the first time, research has identified the owners of all globally used reefers, the flags they use, and the fishing vessels they meet.

Researchers found the carcass in August 2020 in Russia's Sakha Republic, and the discovery has revealed a never-before-seen characteristic of woolly rhinos: a fatty hump on the animal's back.

A small but ferocious predator, the male dragonfish will apparently do anything for love. Or at least to find a mate. A study by researchers at Boston College found that the eyes of the male dragonfish grow larger for mate-seeking purposes, making the dragonfish an anomaly in vertebrate evolution. The team report their findings in the journal Biology Letters.

Ramped-up production of toxins used in the batteries has communities worried.

A complete genome has been extracted from a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth, which might bring us closer to resurrecting the species

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have spotted at least five young globular clusters within SPT 0615-JD1, a strongly-lensed galaxy that existed when the Universe was 460 million years old.

If there's one thing I've learned about dogs, it's that praise is super-effective for training; a new Hungarian study confirms these anecdotal findings and reinforces that notion that praise is more effective as a pedagogical approach than, for instance, scolding or criticism or deliberately placing one infraclass of mammals above another one with a childish insult like this one:

New research found that ocean spray spreads PFAS into the air and onto land, creating a vicious cycle of forever chemicals that never disappear.

The chest could help archaeologists understand the fire and explosion that sank the vessel.

A new study corrects a biased assumption promoted by Charles Darwin 150 years ago and repeated ever since

Scientists have confirmed what became of a star that exploded in a stunning supernova visible to Earth more than three decades ago: It morphed into a neutron...

Some digital services and products are sold at different prices in different regions.

Paleontologists were able to determine that the teenagers' diet included deer, trout, hazelnuts, apple, duck and fox.

Can water utilities meet the EPA's new standard for PFAS?

STOCKHOLM, Dec 19 (IPS) - Conflicting emotions greet the outcomes of COP28. After 28 years of climate conferences, an agreement has, for the first time, proclaimed that fossil fuels are the biggest culprit behind the warming of our planet and stated that it would encourage all nations to "accelerating action in this critical decade so as to achieve net zero by 2050 in keeping with the science." The agreement calls…

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec 04 (IPS) - This year's UN Climate Change Conference is taking place in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December. The so-called COP summits are organised every year and constitute a means for the global community to agree on ways to address the climate crisis, such as limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, supporting vulnerable communities to adapt to the effects of climate…

Astronomers have detected abundant water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide and acetylene in the inner few astronomical units (AU) of XUE 1, a highly irradiated protoplanetary disk in the Lobster Nebula.
