Australian researchers have discovered evidence of an approximately four billion-year-old piece of the Earth’s crust that exists beneath the South-West of Western Australia
Physicists say they've found evidence in data from Europe's Large Hadron Collider for three never-before-seen combinations of quarks
Physicists observed a strange new type of behaviour in a magnetic material when it's heated up. The magnetic spins 'freeze' into a static pattern when the temperature rises.
In 'extreme environmental conditions' scientists have discovered 968 species featuring a hugely diverse range of microbes. Excitingly, 82 % of the genomes were novel species.
Physicists have just taken an amazing step towards quantum devices that sound like something out of science fiction.
An experimental cancer-killing virus has been administered to a human patient for the first time, with hopes the testing will ultimately reveal evidence of a new means of successfully fighting cancer tumors in people.
For the first time, an entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds has been discovered under atmospheric conditions.Trioxides - an extremely oxidizing chemical compound that likely affects both human health and our global climate.
Forty percent of Europeans have vitamin D insufficiency and so do one billion people world-wide. Now, by using CRISPR technology, scientists have designed a special sun-dried tomato packed to the leaves with vitamin D.
The team of 40 researchers from 27 scientific institutions used studies of 19 populations of wild animals from around the world.
An incredible discovery has just revealed a potential new source for understanding life on ancient Earth.
Scientists keep on pushing the efficiency of solar panels higher and higher, and there's a new record to report: a new solar cell has hit 39.5 percent efficiency under the standard 1-sun global illumination conditions.
When Chilean scientist Osvaldo Ulloa led an expedition 8,000 meters under the sea to an area where no human had ever been, his team discovered microscopic organisms that generated more questions than answers.
The Cambrian Explosion - around 541 million years ago - was when life and organisms really got going on planet Earth. Now new research has revealed how that explosion of life has left behind traces deep within Earth's mantle.
Scientists have filled in millions of missing pieces of human DNA, yielding the most complete, gapless sequence of the human genome ever produced, bar one tiny chromosome.
A swarm of crab-like creatures were found 1,600 feet under the Antarctic ice in a freshwater river, signifying an unexplored ecosystem.
