A recent study has found that seafood mislabelling is running rampant in Calgary, and that certain product names are more likely to hide species of conservation concern.
Some 3.26 billion years ago a giant rock between 50 and 200 times the size of the Chicxulub dino-killer smacked into our planet. The result of this impact may have churned up nutrients that gave a select few early microbes a boost.
Any advance in laser tech has huge potential across a whole range of fields and we just got a big one: ultra-short laser pulses of up to 100 megawatts, the most powerful of their type ever produced from a human-made system.
One of the great mysteries of the Universe is where all the metal actually comes from.
Resaerchers found that a specific fungus can recognize shapes, and communicate information about their surroundings throughout their network.
Approximately 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field briefly reversed during what is known as the Laschamp event. Now scientists has created a sound visualization of this event.
Lightning storms on our planet can dislodge particularly high-energy, or "extra-hot" electrons from the inner radiation belt - a region of space enveloped by charged particles that surround Earth like an inner tube.
Knowing how high-potency cannabis alters gene activity may bring us closer to understanding why some users develop psychosis.
A set of new studies has just given us compelling origin stories for more than 90 percent of meteorites today.
To minimize the risk of cardiovascular disease, our arteries need to be clear and inflammation-free, and scientists have developed a new technique that uses carbon nanoparticles to fight the buildup of dangerous plaques.
Google is the latest tech company to seek nuclear energy to cope with the high demand of electricity propelled by its development of AI.
NASA’s Europa Clipper has embarked on its long voyage to Jupiter, where it will investigate Europa, a moon with an enormous subsurface ocean that may have conditions to support life.
Scientists have recently discovered 14 'skinny' genes that could influence how individuals lost weight in response to exercise.
A new NASA-led study suggests that a potential exomoon may be orbiting the exoplanet WASP-49 b, a gas giant located 635 light-years from Earth. The possible exomoon is believed to be rocky and volcanically active, similar to Jupiter's Io.
